They had been taught that there was one true God, not many Gods. They had been taught that God was kind to all and not one that gloated over destruction of men. They were not pleased with the story of the great flood.
Every Sunday she gloated over the frontispiece of John Wesley, in his gown and bands and white ringlets, feeling that, though poor as a picture, it was very superior to the letterpress; the worst illustrations being better than the best poetry, as everybody under thirteen must know.
'There's the place, Lady Charlotte said to Weyburn, as they had view of it at a turn of the park. She said to herself where I was born and bred! and her sight gloated momentarily on the house and side avenues, a great plane standing to the right of the house, the sparkle of a little river running near; all the scenes she knew, all young and lively.

Old McKay's sneeze was something to be remembered when once heard. Indeed it was something that could not be forgotten!
The conversation of the men all the way related to the events of the expedition, and they evidently gloated over the way in which they had put their enemies to death.
And in one day he has been well avenged; for two of the mutineers have followed him. The steward called my attention to what was taking place. He touched my arm half beyond his servant's self, as he gloated for'ard at the men heaving two corpses overside. Weighted with coal, they sank immediately, so that we could not identify them. "They have been fighting," I said.
