And most of us are unconscious of our slavery because our environment remains unchanged from birth until death, and so seems the whole universe to us. In spite of her life, in spite of all she did to disguise herself, there persisted in her face even when she was dazed or giddied or stupefied with drink the expression of the woman on the right side of the line.
"No, mother, he is but giddied and stunned, and now must you send down store of sausage, sourkraut, meat, wine, and beer; for the wains cannot all cross till daylight, and we must keep ward all night lest the Schlangenwalden should fall on them again. Plenty of good cheer, mother, to make a right merry watch." "Take heed, Friedel mine; a merry watch is scarce a safe one."
We are surrounded by such scenes and feelings as might arise among those who had been surprised and encompassed on all sides by an ambuscade, the vast sweep of whose horizon reveals not a single ground for hope, and whose despair had giddied the brain, like a draught of that wine of Cyprus which gives a more instinctive rapidity to all our gestures, a keener point to all our words, a more subtle flame to all our emotions, and excites the mind to a pitch of irritability approaching insanity.
"You haven't been at at this long, have you?" inquired John of Susan. "Not long," replied she. Etta, somewhat giddied, overheard and put in, "We began tonight. We got tired of starving and freezing."

Mrs. Ball saw it, also, and was straightway giddied into a sort of ecstasy.

Thus, so suddenly that it giddied me, I was translated from failure to success, from poverty to affluence, from the most harassing anxiety to ease and security. Two months before I should have rejected the Power Trust's offer with scorn, and should have gloried in my act as proof of superior virtue.
"The best way to find out how much sense a person has is to see what kind of lies he thinks'll deceive another person." "Now don't get jealous, Susie," soothed he. "You know how a man is." The tone was correctly contrite, but Susan felt underneath the confidence that he would be forgiven the confidence of the egotist giddied by a triumph.
And before her was food! food again! not horrible stuff unfit for beasts, worse than was fed to beasts, but human food good things, well cooked and well served. To have seen her, to have seen the expression of her eyes, without knowing her history and without having lived as she had lived, would have been to think her a glutton. Her spirits giddied toward the ecstatic.
