And yet he felt, too, a distinct and irresistible movement of attraction towards this felon who was riding towards his agony and passion; and he was conscious at the same time of that curious touch of wonder that he had felt years before towards the man whipped at the cart's tail, as to whether the solitary criminal were not in the right, and the clamorous accusers in the wrong.
She cowered away from me at the words, and stood terror-stricken, gazing at me like one fascinated. But she did not answer. "Because," I cried, "your story is a tissue of lies! Because it was you, and you only, who stole this paper! Because Down on your knees! down on your knees!" I thundered, "and confess! Confess, or I will have you whipped at the cart's tail, like the false witness you are!"
The poor wretch only came here to try and drag herself out of the mire. If she had married you I feel sure that she would have made you a most excellent wife." The Professor was in such a rage that he suddenly became calm. "Of course you talk absolute rubbish," he said caustically. "Had I my way this woman would be whipped at a cart's tail for the shameful way in which she has deceived us all.
"Why, he is a clever boy. He knows a cart's got two wheels and a wagon four." He said this in a low serious voice, as if talking to himself, and admiring my wisdom; but of course I could see that it was his way of laughing at me, and I hastened to add: "Oh, you know what I mean!"
They are the peasant people who live in the canvasses of the artists of the Renaissance. Half a thousand years has not changed them. Along the dusty roads we passed huge wine-carts.

"As the liquor, your honor; he's at the Glorious Memory, sir, till he's nearly off; he thinks it's the Boyne wather he's drinkin' it in, sir, otherwise I don't b'lieve he'd take so much of it. Sheemus a Cocka and the cart's in the yard, sir; Darby said you wanted them." "Take Sheemus a Cocka to h l, sir," said Phil, "we don't want him he's a kind of papist; take him away to h l out of this."
We were socialists because Individualism for us meant muddle, meant a crowd of separated, undisciplined little people all obstinately and ignorantly doing things jarringly, each one in his own way. "Each," I said quoting words of my father's that rose apt in my memory, "snarling from his own little bit of property, like a dog tied to a cart's tail."
No, you can't. Is that red-cheeked Dutch doll a pelican to pluck her breast for the benefit of her mother? No, indeed! I daresay she passes her sinful hours drinking with young men. I'd whip her at a cart's tail if I had my way. 'Gabriel Pendle is trying to bring the girl to a sense of her errors. 'Rubbish! She's trying to bring him to the altar, more like.
Every soul of you shall be whipped at the cart's tail to-morrow." "Do you mean to insinuate that I am not a respectable person, sir?" said a fierce-looking virago, rubbing her fist against Vanslyperken's nose. "Smell that!" It was not a nosegay at all to the fancy of Mr Vanslyperken; he threw himself back, and his chair fell with him. The ladies laughed, and Mr Vanslyperken rose in great wrath.
There's John Westlock, who used to be a pupil here, one of the best-hearted young men in the world, in all other matters I really believe John would have Pecksniff flogged at the cart's tail if he could.
