He will set his heel upon it. He will demand the greatest indemnity of all times. And every penny of it will flow into his beloved land. We thought that the dawn had come, we poor, miserable and deluded victims of his craft. We are dooming the people of this country to generations of slavery!" Maraton for a moment sat quite still. When he spoke, his tone was singularly matter-of-fact.
"The good father hath no suspicion that these old wretches are dooming him to death," said Ako to Du Gay. It appeared afterwards that this was what the ceremony meant. For several days the Frenchmen, carried northward in their captors' boats, expected to die.
In an hour or so, Lionel would arrive; those hateful nuptials, dooming Fawley as the nuptials of Paris and Helen had doomed Troy, would be finally arranged. In another week the work of demolition would commence. He never meant to leave Darrell to superintend that work.
Alas! a generation of mankind before, men had stood banded together to resist, with all the might that comes from union, the fell spirit of the Holy Inquisition, which was dooming all who had wandered from the ancient fold or resisted foreign tyranny to the axe, the faggot, the living grave.

The laws pertaining to debt were severe, and were most disgraceful in dooming a debtor to the absolute power of a creditor.
Hast heard of Trojan Helen, that woman who was a world's desire, whose beauty made men sigh for her until they fell ill with their desire; for whom two nations fought, pouring out their noblest blood for her possession through ten long years, and at the end dooming a city to flames and massacre?
I know that he has no chance; and I don't think that I ought to leave her there to be bullied for some endless period of time. Think of three years, of dooming a girl to live three years without ever seeing her lover! There is an absurdity about it which is revolting.
