"She wants her daughter, sir," said the same officer whose interference had given the hag such offence before "her daughter, who was taken up last night Madge Wildfire, as they ca' her." "Madge Hellfire, as they ca' her!" echoed the beldam "and what business has a blackguard like you to ca' an honest woman's bairn out o' her ain name?"
The dog had been brought to him by a sailor from an East India merchantman, and the sailor had bought it of a pilgrim in a bazaar at Jaffa, who had stolen it from a nobleman's wife in China: a perfectly permissible thing to do, since the pilgrim was a Christian and the nobleman a heathen doomed to hellfire.
"What the hellfire are you laughing at?" he exploded. "Nothing much. I was only thinking about last night." "Christ!" he exclaimed, the blood rushing to his face. "Why, why, you " The words failed him. He could only stare at her as if stunned by the most shocking confession. "Please remember that you are speaking to " He broke in with a snarling laugh.
He shut up the Bible and abandoned his carefully prepared discourse, in which was a mention of hellfire and many gloomy warnings, which would have brought joy to the heart of Gideon Strong, and to each of which he would slowly and approvingly have nodded his head.
You'd make a man even a hardened one want to go down on his knees before you in worship and at the same time you'd make a timid one want to dare hellfire to take you in his arms. In short, you're a secret and a riddle: an enticement and a sobering inspiration." The woman's cheeks momentarily reflected more warmly the rosy color of her smock and to her eyes came a mischievous riffle.
This besom will sweep away his cobweb: the house that this spider doth so lean upon, will now be overturned, and he in it, to hellfire; for nothing less than everlasting damnation is designed by God, and that for this fearful and unbelieving Pharisee: God will prevail against him for ever. But wilt thou yet plead thy righteousness for mercy?
"What if I am?" hissed Blinky, in fierce shame. "Are you holdin' thet agin me?" "No, I'm damned if I don't like you better for it." That was too much for Blinky. He gazed mutely up at Pan, as a dog at his master. Pan never saw such eyes of misery. "Blinky, that girl is wicked," went on Pan. "She's full of hellfire. But that's only the drink. She couldn't carry on that life without being drunk.
The steps that led down to the kitchen were fifteen, but they were nearly perpendicular: there was therefore in point of fact no distance between the besiegers and besieged, and the latter now caught almost every word. At last one was heard to cry out, "I tell ye the devil has got him and branded him with hellfire.
They want my soul for alms to take it below and burn it in the hellfire the thin, blue flames!" He stopped in the midst of his ravings and drew himself erect, a smile of infinite cruelty on his lips. "Let them all come with their damned, empty palms! They're ghosts, and they cannot stop me so long as I follow the small voice that's inside of me. They can't stop me, and I'll win back to Beatrice.
I have reason to believe that my friend inherited a constitutional weakness at this point. As flame to tinder, was the medicinal whisky to him. It grew upon him rapidly, and soon this cloud overshadowed all his life. He struggled hard to break the serpent-folds that were tightening around him; but the fire that had been kindled seemed to be quenchless. An uncontrolled evil passion is hellfire.
