With wild yells they entered the houses to rob and plunder, ill-treating those who refused to give up their valuables, and by violent threats of incendiarism, raising forced levies from the frightened inhabitants. But it was not alone this lust of plunder in the soldiers which spread terror and dismay in each house and in every family.
"Because he hopes he will get out of this trouble without betraying his secret." "If that were so, it would be very strange." "Stranger things than that have happened." "To allow himself to be accused of incendiarism and murder when he is innocent!" "To be innocent, and to allow one's self to be condemned, is still stranger; and yet there are instances"
"We have nothing to complain of," said Lord Marney. "We continue reducing the rates, and as long as we do that the country must improve. The workhouse test tells.

Her face was red and blotched; her black eyes wide open, and her short, thick lips failed to hide her white, protruding teeth. She laughed in shrill tones at the antics of the prisoners. This prisoner, who was nicknamed Miss Dandy, because of her stylishness, was under indictment for theft and incendiarism.
"Seems you've been born under an unlucky star," interrupted the old woman who was imprisoned for incendiarism. "Only think, to entice the lad's wife and lock him himself up to feed vermin, and me, too, in my old days " she began to retell her story for the hundredth time.

"Whom do you wish to see?" asked the inspector. "Bogodukhovskaia." "That is from the tower. You will have to wait a little," he turned to Nekhludoff. "Couldn't you let me see, meantime, the prisoners Menshov mother and son who are charged with incendiarism?" "That is from cell 21. Why, yes; they may be called out." "Would you allow me to see the son in his cell?"
Jack had previously made all his arrangements; the gunner and Jerry Bird each carried match-boxes in waterproof cases, and small torches which they could easily ignite, so that the moment they stepped on shore they could proceed on their expedition. A sense of the importance of the work to be accomplished made Jack enjoy it, otherwise an act of incendiarism would not have been to his taste.
Q 's well-deserved popularity would be a sufficient safeguard against such barbarous incendiarism, but of a truth there are people now at large who ought to be in "durance vile." At the moment of our going to press we are happy to add that the police have a clue, and will soon no doubt unearth the cowardly perpetrator of this un-British outrage, and drag him forth to condign punishment.
