Twice in the course of the dark hours once when a stone galled me underneath the sack, and again when the poor patient Modestine, growing angry, pawed and stamped upon the road I was recalled for a brief while to consciousness, and saw a star or two overhead, and the lace-like edge of the foliage against the sky.
Just here was the true glory of John Brown's mission. It was not for his own freedom that he was thus ready to lay down his life, for with Paul he could say, "I was born free." No chain had bound his ankle, no yoke had galled his neck. History has no better illustration of pure, disinterested benevolence.
It galled them to see a powerful fleet and a standing army watching all the inlets to the town, to see a guard at the only land-avenue leading into the country, companies patrolling at the ferry-ways, the Common alive with troops and dotted with tents, marchings and countermarchings through the streets to relieve the guards, and armed men occupying the halls of justice and freedom, with sentinels at their doors.
Oh, but he was galled! There had been five feet nine of him, but he was shrinking. By and by the red light came into his eyes. There were now no fewer than three men engaged, each in his own way, in the siege of Grizel, nothing in common between them except insulted vanity.

We walked next day over a more level country but it was strewed with large stones. These galled our feet a good deal; we contrived however to wade through the snow at a tolerably quick pace until five P.M., having proceeded twelve miles and a half.
"A good journey to you, then, Monsieur le procureur-general," replied Maxime, sarcastically. Left to himself, Monsieur de Trailles had a period of discouragement, resulting from the discovery that these two political Bertrands meant that his paw should pull the chestnuts from the fire. Rastignac's behavior particularly galled him. But this discouragement did not last.
Maltravers, to his own surprise, did not find himself so unhappy as he had expected. On the contrary, a soft and almost delicious sentiment, which he could not well define, floated over all his memories of the beautiful Frenchwoman. Perhaps the secret was, that while his pride was not mortified, his conscience was not galled perhaps, also, he had not loved Valerie so deeply as he had imagined.
