"Was I to stand lamb-like and accept a thrashing from that unconscionable ruffian? No, no," he shook his head. "I see it in your eyes. You condemn the method, but not the man. Remember, we all have a right to live if we can. Maybe there's no absolute necessity that we should, but still we are permitted to do our best.
"Whatever are you saying? It isn’t half-past six o’clock." "I’m not prayin’ about anything," said the old lady. "I don’t pray about things. I do ’em when needful. And when I’m tired I go to bed." "All right, Aunt Mary," with sugary sweetness and lamb-like submissiveness. "I thought we’d dine out together, but if you don’t want to, we needn’t. And if you feel like it when you waken, we can."
In a day or so you may all be gone, and then the old humdrum life will begin again." "Yes, we may all be gone before night. Your chief danger then will be from the stragglers which follow the army like vultures. If possible, I will induce the general to leave a guard to-night.

Then the gate was opened, and the three the revengeful pair assuming an air of lamb-like inoffensiveness entered the hall and were met by Mrs. Grimstone.

It is constantly assured, especially in our Tolstoyan tendencies, that when the lion lies down with the lamb the lion becomes lamb-like. But that is brutal annexation and imperialism on the part of the lamb. That is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instead of the lion eating the lamb.
He is a good-looking lamb-like little fellow, and he is worth forty thousand pounds; but I don't believe it!" "Don't believe it, then. What you believe, or what you disbelieve, is a matter of perfect indifference to me," said Rose, looking straight before her with compressed lips. "I don't believe that, either.
