It is beautiful, beautiful, she sang in strange, rhapsodic tones.
"You are brave, and your father must love you." Spero did not answer, but his eyes sparkled when Maldar spoke his father's name. "I will know how to strike your proud father; he shall grovel in the dust at my feet. He stopped short. A new idea seemed to have taken possession of him. "All the prisoners are dead, are they not?" he asked, turning to a sheik.
Here, indeed, was a man for Victoria to be proud of; put up a statue to him in the centre of the city; let all the school children study a list of his noble actions as lessons; let the public at large grovel before him, and lick the dust of his benevolent shoes, for he is a professional philanthropist.
"Dick, cannot you understand? I must speak with you alone." But they did not understand, neither the man nor the child. "Dick, are you really dead?" she cried. "Have you no pity for me? Do you think that I have followed you here to grovel at your feet for mere whim? Am I acting like a woman sane and sound? Don't you see that I am mad, and why I am mad? Must I tell you before her?

If we were all like the 'Great Power, then things might have turned out different."
Very well, I am amused at your clownish terror even more than I was amused at your burlesque ecstasies. Tremble now for here is a Medusa, a Messalina come to destroy you. Whimper and grovel, but observe in your idiot cowardice how Mallare, the indifferent one, sits and smiles still supreme, still a spectator ravished by the dark comedy.

Not satisfied that we grovel on these remains of empire, we are further threatened with being cast miserably under his feet. Whose feet I ask? The feet of our direst foe, whom to worship, as he desireth, means serfdom worse than ours. Is there one of you who will surrender his native dignity in such a fashion?"
