These people seem to delight in disseminating improbable tales of their institution, and their invention appears to be exhausted in superstitious legends of its mysteries. The Timmanees have an inquisitorial institution called bunda, noticed in page 72, to which women only are subjected.
I! But next me in array are the prisons of the only sane ones of history, the cells dug by Inquisitorial Ignorance in every age for its wisest men. Now I understand them; walls cannot impede the hands we stretch out to each other across oceans and centuries. One day the purblind world will invoke in its prayers the holy army of the martyrs of Thought.
Casting a quick, inquisitorial glance at Sue, he shrugged his shoulders in token of indifference and said no more. "Certainly, certainly," responded Master Skyffington, somewhat embarrassed, "my dear young lady ... hem ... as ... er ... as you wish ... but ..."

Then came the trial, the inquisitorial trial, lasting all through the night in the gloom of that dimly lighted hall. And at half-past four in the morning she heard without a tremor the terrible words, "Marie Antoinette, widow of Louis Capet, the Tribunal condemns you to die."
