The condemned cell is wretchedly dark and gloomy," he added, turning to his nephew; "and really the thing's a mere formality." He coughed and shifted his feet in evident embarrassment; then called back the sergeant, who was leaving the room with his prisoner. "Wait, sergeant; I want to speak to him." The Gadfly did not move, and the Governor's voice seemed to fall on unresponsive ears.
To that better self in you I appeal, and solemnly entreat you, on your conscience, to tell me truthfully in my place, what would you do?" A long silence followed; then the Gadfly looked up. "At least, I would decide my own actions for myself, and take the consequences of them. I would not come sneaking to other people, in the cowardly Christian way, asking them to solve my problems for me!"
She sent a gadfly to torment Io, who fled over the whole world from its pursuit. At length Jupiter interceded for her, and upon his promising not to pay her any more attentions Juno consented to restore her to her form. It was curious to see her gradually recover her former self.
Just now, too, it was objective, not subjective. It was like a horse set to win a race, and unconscious of the fly on its withers. But the fly was a gadfly. Elinor knew Doyle was beginning to suspect her. Sometimes she thought he would kill her, if he discovered what she meant to do. She did not greatly care.
Would another, not himself, at last, seeing where so many shut their eyes, step into the place of high command? Jadwin chafed and fretted in his inaction. As the time when the house party should break up drew to its close, his impatience harried him like a gadfly. He took long drives over the lonely country roads, or tramped the hills or the frozen lake, thoughtful, preoccupied.
And there he remained, in Vilquin's pocket as it were; at the heart of Vilquin's family life, observing Vilquin, irritating Vilquin, in short, the gadfly of all the Vilquins.

The Gadfly, on receiving information of this, was to file through the bars of his window, tear his shirt into strips and plait them into a rope, by means of which he could let himself down on to the broad east wall of the courtyard.
The token was interpreted as shrewdly as it had been sent. For Amleth saw the gadfly, espied with curiosity the straw which it wore embedded in its tail, and perceived that it was a secret warning to beware of treachery. Alarmed, scenting a trap, and fain to possess his desire in greater safety, he caught up the woman in his arms and dragged her off to a distant and impenetrable fen.
There were neckties, samples of ore, a pair of silk suspenders, and a miner's candlestick, one silk sock, a weasel skin, a copy of "The Gadfly," and a box of quinine pills. No papers, no letters, not a single clew to his identity. Bruce felt relief. Wait what was this? He took the bag by the corners, and a photographer's mailing case fell out.
