But she's game and she's white clear through, even if she is your sister and a plumb little fool. Can you walk to the road?" he ended abruptly. "I think so. It's in my ankle. Some hell-hound gave it me while we were getting over the wall," the fellow growled. "Don't blame him. His intentions were good. He meant to blow out your brains."
"You have rendered me a greater service than you know of, and I must not let you leave yourself out." To hide a note of wistfulness in her voice, she added mischievously, "Must I, Joe?" "Yow could find wus'n' Wheatman o' th' 'Anyards," said Joe, with sturdy precision of praise. "Is he really a hell-hound, Joe, when he's got a sup of beer in him?
From that time forth there is nothing human left in him, only "the fiend of Scotland," Macduff's "hell-hound," whom, with a stern glee, we see baited like a bear and hunted down like a wolf. He is inspired and set above fate by a demoniacal energy, a lust of wounds and slaughter.
She had spoken warmly and vehemently, with an honest ring in her voice. "I have never thought of it along those lines. See that furrow across the road that's where a snake has crossed. But I may as well tell you, Ma'am, that I myself have buried more than one wife. And yet when I size myself up to myself I don't seem a regular hell-hound."
The wolf which has so long ravaged the neighbourhood of our town was this morning caught alive. This will be a well-merited punishment for the destroyer of our flocks; let him be cast to the devil in the fiery gulf.

I'm not able to prove anything." "I'll tell you what, Ballindine," said the parson; "only I don't know whether it mayn't be tampering with justice suppose we were to go to this hell-hound, you and I together, and, telling him what we know, give him his option to stand his trial or quit the country? Take my word for it, he'd go; and that would be the best way to be rid of him.
Old Flint read this extraordinary communication twice through, then, raising his head, growled in his shrunken throat, for all the world like a wild beast. His gold tooth, gleaming in the light, made his rictus of passion more venomous, more malevolent still. "The the Hell-hound!" he stammered, his eyes narrowed with hate and rage. "Oh, wait! Wait till we land him!
He was a hell-hound, slippery as an eel in his half nakedness, strong as an ox, and fighting like a fiend. But for that first lucky grip I doubt my killing him, yet I had him foul, my grip unbreakable, as I jerked and forced his neck back against the rail, until it cracked, the swarthy body sliding inert to the deck.
Thady, there'll be one who'll not let a foot or finger of that hell-hound Keegan go on Ballycloran; there'll be one' and when there's me, my boys, there'll be lots more 'as 'll keep you safe and snug in yer own father's house, though all the Keegans and Flannellys in County Leitrim come to turn you out! And that's what I'll say to the Masther; and now, Pat for he tells you pretty much all what'll the Masther be saying to that?"
Poor Fan! that little burst of transitory anger she had experienced in the Gardens seemed now only a pitifully weak exhibition compared with the black tempest raging in this strong, undisciplined woman's soul. "And I have loved him loved that hell-hound! God! shall I ever cease to despise and loathe myself for sinking into such a depth of infamy!
