With Laputa I was not angry; he was an open enemy, playing a fair game. But my fingers itched to get at the Portugoose that double-dyed traitor to his race. As I thought of my kindly old friends, lying butchered with their kinsfolk out in the bush, hot tears of rage came to my eyes. Perfect love casteth out fear, the Bible says; but, to speak it reverently, so does perfect hate.
What poor excuses would therefore be accidental or slight injuries, just penalties for our wrongdoings and imaginary grievances! The less excusable is our wrath, the more serious is our delinquency. Our guilt is double-dyed when the deed and the cause of the deed are both alike unreasonable. Yet there is a kind of anger that is righteous.
"You don't need to look around any more when anybody gallops up behind you in this state, unless something hits you in the back; and even then it's liable to be only a bunch of tracts or a petition to sign against the trusts. I never looked at that hombre that rode by; but I'll bet a quart of sheep dip that he's some double-dyed son of a popgun out rounding up prohibition votes."
What a double-dyed ass am I!" And with this he rushed out to the tennis ground; Mrs. Easterfield did not play. Before Mrs. Easterfield returned to the house she stood for a moment and looked at the tennis players. "Olive and three young men," she said to herself; "that will do very well." A little before luncheon Claude Locker became very uneasy, and even agitated.
"You have extravagant ways, I am afraid," he said. "This is fresh butter." "That piece only cost fourpence-halfpenny," she said, gravely, "and the little you eat you had better have good." "Fourpence-halfpenny!" he repeated, and fell into profound meditation, from which he broke with a sudden return of anger. "What a double-dyed villain and robber that infernal woman has been!

They swindle us, and pay their priests for absolution with our money. If you're a double-dyed sinner, you can easily get yourself whitewashed over there. Confound them! When that fellow sent no remittance last month, I told you I suspected him. Who was, the shrewdest then? As for pluck, I never failed in that yet. But, I will see a thing clear.
The sight of this man turned my thoughts into another channel. 'Double-dyed traitor that I am, muttered I, 'England is no longer a home for me. She for whose love I broke a father's heart and betrayed a brother's confidence, has been torn from me; and what more have I to live for here? My mind was made up.
Still almost white with fury, the double-dyed forger went straight into the poor girl's room; she looked at him she was standing up and she dropped on to a chair as though her legs had snapped. "What is the matter, monsieur?" said she, quaking in every limb. "Leave us, Europe," said he to the maid.
I have hated her so keenly, may God forgive me! but you may know, from that, that my witness is true. Yes, father, to show you what a witness I am for Ruth, I will own that I was stabbed to the heart with jealousy; some one some one cared for Ruth that oh, father! spare me saying all." Her face was double-dyed with crimson blushes, and she paused for one moment no more.
