I spread my wings, crowed in conceit, threatened, resolved, laughed at opposition, and kicked the world before me! Oh, it was who but I! And what was it I proposed? Fair conquest? Honourable opposition? No! It was treachery, covert malice, and cowardly conspiracy! A league with hell-dogs! Horrible, blood-thirsty villains! And baffled too; defeated, after all this infernal enginery!
The clouds above the western hills were turning crimson; the waters had deepened to purple and were still and silent. "There, you hell-dogs!" The voice of the coxswain rasped in its combativeness. "Out there is Shelburne; ahead of us at the line. Who says it'll be the last time she'll be ahead of us?"
Now up and at 'em, Baliol. Oh, you hell-dogs!" As in a dream Deacon saw the Shelburne boat drift into view, saw the various oarsmen slide past until he and the rival stroke were rowing practically abeam. "That's for you, Dad," he muttered and smiled. He saw the men swing with quickened rhythm, saw the spray fly like bullets from the Shelburne blades. "Look out."
So that "his look became FAROUCHE," in the sight of Valori; and the spectre of Ruin kept him company, and such hell-dogs were in chase of him; till Czaslau, when the dice fell kind again! All this had been didactic on a young docile man. He was but thirty gone. And if readers mark such docility at those years, they will find considerable meaning in it.
The fate of all emancipated horses is, sooner or later, inevitable. To have in this habitable Earth no grass to eat, in Black Jamaica gradually none, as in White Connemara already none; to roam aimless, wasting the seedfields of the world; and be hunted home to Chaos, by the due watch-dogs and due hell-dogs, with such horrors of forsaken wretchedness as were never seen before!
Doubt, Desire, Sorrow, Remorse, Indignation, Despair itself, all these like hell-dogs lie beleaguering the soul of the poor day-worker, as of every man; but he bends himself with free valor against his task, and all these are stilled, all these shrink murmuring far off into their caves. The man is now a man.
And lips that, with a whisper, could loosen the coursing slips of the wild hell-dogs of war, murmured love to a princess, led the laugh at a supper at five in the morning, or smiled over their own caricatures done by Tenniel or Cham. Baden was full.

It was near the skirts of the forest, there was a green glade before them, and very few trees, and therefore he could see far a-head. The moon was shining very bright, and sure enough, what did he see? Running as fleet over the turf as a rabbit, was a child. The little figure was quite black in the moonlight, and Hans could not catch its face: in a moment the hell-dogs were on it.
Now directly he heard it; I have heard him tell the story a thousand times; directly he heard it, it struck him that it must be the Spirit Huntsman; and though there were many ways to account for the hounds, still he never for a moment doubted that they were the hell-dogs. The sounds came nearer and nearer.
