"'Are you not fit for society? he asks. 'You are the equal of the fairest duchesses.
In this form all the energy of all the dynamos of Niagara could pass through one's body and yet produce no injury. But, diabolically directed, this vast energy has been used by this man to melt the wires in the little dynamo that runs Norton's gyroscope. That is all. Now to the aviation field. I have something more to show you."
"Ah!" said he, complacently; "I say, give me a drink of moonshine, old chap." "I'll give you a bucketful," said Rolfe; then, with the servant's help, took his little bed and put it close to the window; the moonlight streamed in on the boy's face, his great black eyes glittered in it.

He described with diabolically graphic touches the garret in Howland Street. "We thought he'd been drinking, you know, and all the time he was starving."

"He, he, he! yes, how it shines!" he roared, shaking out ducats into his hand: "he, he, he! and how it jingles! And I only ask one thing for a whole pile of such shiners." "It is the Evil One!" exclaimed Petro: "Give them here! I'm ready for anything!" They struck hands upon it.
Then he grunted and went on up again. "His hand was on the handle of a door, and then he stopped again with the same puzzled anger on his face. He was becoming aware of the faint sounds of my movements about him. The man must have had diabolically acute hearing. He suddenly flashed into rage. 'If there's anyone in this house he cried with an oath, and left the threat unfinished.
And as he thought of her in the saner light of the morning, he felt that he could not be quite fair to her, and yet he wished it had been some other than Iola. "It's that confounded voice of hers, and her eyes, and her whole get-up. She's got something diabolically fetching about her."
'It will now be necessary to light my lantern; I can do so with safety, said the robber. And igniting a match, he lighted a dark lantern which he had brought with him.
