For there has never been anything born under the sun crueller than a twentieth-century woman of fashion to her own sex except perhaps a starving hyæna tearing asunder its living prey. Meanwhile, David Helmsley and his young companion had reached the drawing-room, which they found quite unoccupied.
"Come, friend, don't say that; a wolf eats wolf." "The words came into my mind and I said it. All the same, there is nothing crueller than man. If it were not for his wickedness and greed, it would be possible to live. Everybody tries to sting you to the quick, to bite and eat you up." Semyon pondered a bit.
Wretched, I would lie awake, hearing through the flimsy walls their passionate tones, now rising high, now fiercely forced into cold whispers; and then their words to each other sounded even crueller. In their estrangement from each other, so new to them, both clung closer to me, though they would tell me nothing, nor should I have understood if they had.
In her voice there had been manifest an unsuspected quality which had revealed her for the moment as not all frivolous fool or spoiled and empty-headed doll; but a tyrant and oppressor, crueller and more menacing because infinitely weak and unstable.
Crueller things than he had ever allowed before were done to the places where Robert Bruce had been acknowledged as king, and his friends were hung as traitors wherever they were found; but Bruce himself could not be caught.
You laugh at the absurdity; you are shocked at the detestable cruelty; yet, for the moment, the thing almost seems as if it must be true. You feel as you do in a dream, and after it; you wake and laugh, but the absurdity seemed true at the time; and while you laugh you shudder. Enough of this crueller part of his genius has been exhibited; but it is seldom you can have the genius without sadness.
Ah me! we thought the struggle over, and it was only beginning; we thought our hero victorious, and a fiercer, crueller fight lay in front. True, he was to win that fight, but his life was to be the price of the winning; victory for him was to be final, complete, but the laurel-wreath was to fall upon a grave.
Then their pursuer must take e'en greater risks and make crueller marches that the Law may be upheld. The one thing in the Law's favour is that hashish smells abominably worse than a heated camel so, when they range alongside, no time is lost in listening to lies.
For what sailor entering this icy and tempestuous tract of waters but knows that here he must expect to find Nature in her most violent moods, crueller and more unreckonable than a mad woman, who one moment looks with a silent sinister sullenness upon you, and the next is shrieking with devilish laughter as she makes as if to spring upon you?
"Surely right's right and wrong's wrong, wherever you are?" said Mr. Philip. "No. Spain's a place, as I said, where one travels in time as well as in space...." He didn't himself agree that the bullfight was so much crueller than most organised activities of men.
