It compelled rich and poor to feel themselves brethren then; and stalking to and fro across the Three Hills, with a fierceness which made it almost a new pestilence, there was that mighty conqueror that scourge and horror of our forefathers the Small-Pox! We cannot estimate the affright which this plague inspired of yore, by contemplating it as the fangless monster of the present day.
She was answering with an affirmative, when Agostino broke in, "Camilla! And honour to whom honour is due! Let Caesar claim the writing of the libretto, if it be Caesar's! It has passed the censorship, signed Agostino Balderini a disaffected person out of Piedmont, rendered tame and fangless by a rigorous imprisonment. The sources of the tale, O ye grave Signori Tedeschi?
Upon the whole, it was the dragon, Pauperism, in a very weak and impotent condition; toothless, fangless, drawing his breath heavily enough, and hardly worth chaining up. When the service was over, I walked with the humane and conscientious gentleman whose duty it was to take that walk, that Sunday morning, through the little world of poverty enclosed within the workhouse walls.
The upshot of the whole matter is that I am now powerless to harm anybody I submit the simile of the fangless snake, and that Captain Audaine will have his release in the morning.

Though fangless, it often, in consequence of the way in which it rustles its tail among the dry herbage, making a sound similar to that of the rattlesnake, gives no small alarm to the wanderer among the brushwood near the edges of streams or ponds. It is also frequently encountered in the fields or on the roads.
He became an influence on the Edinburgh, probably somewhat modifying its whole tone, and generally identified with its reputation.
