If you kill a wolf, you meet with encouragement and praise; but if you kill a dog, the sacred rights of property and the domestic affections come clamouring round you for redress. At the end of a fagging day, the sharp, cruel note of a dog's bark is in itself a keen annoyance; and to a tramp like myself, he represents the sedentary and respectable world in its most hostile form.
It would be so dreadful to have a sister muddling in poverty, and clamouring for one's cast-off gowns. Maulevrier laughed at this gloomy suggestion. 'It is not easy to foretell the future, he said, 'but I think I may venture to promise that Molly will never wear your cast-off gowns. 'Oh, you think she would be too proud. You don't know, perhaps, how poverty genteel poverty lowers one's pride.
It forced the guard that stood at the door, and penetrated into the interior, clamouring for bread and arms; it broke open doors, seized weapons, sounded the tocsin, and marched towards Versailles. The people soon rose en masse, uttering the same demand, till the cry, "To Versailles!" rose on every side. The women started first, headed by Maillard, one of the volunteers of the Bastille.
Christine Wyatt, glancing once more towards him as the curtain rose for the final call, wondered a little at the tense, unyielding attitude of his tall figure. He was standing staring at the stage as if for him there was nothing else in all the world. She stifled a little sigh as she turned to put on her cloak.

So I fled. For months I have been fleeing and hiding. They have tried to kidnap me many times, and once they have tried to kill me, but I, too, have become clever oh, so clever.
I bore in mind that there were some two hundred and fifty post-captains in the English navy clamouring for employment, and that there were at the moment I speak of only about forty employed. I calculated in those days of profound peace there was more probability of active service in the Eastern world than elsewhere.
She knew that she could explain it all. She could have explained it to either of them separately, but to both together, somehow it was difficult. Her mind was filled with clamouring arguments and explanations and plausible excuses; but she did not know which to select first. None of them seemed quite equal to this occasion.
"The railroad magnate, the corporation manager, the promoter, the multiform director, and all the rest of the group known as captains of industry, began to besiege the universities clamouring for practical training for their sons."
'People in India wanting a greater share in the government 'Mad as the Persians he smiled 'fancy Persians clamouring for a representative chamber! It's a sort of epidemic. 'The Egyptians, too, restless under "benefits." And now everywhere, as if by some great concerted movement the Women!
