He threw an overcoat and hat at the astonished man-servant, who caught them mechanically. "Get!" repeated the captain. Hapgood apparently understood at last. His usual expression of polite humility vanished and he glowered malevolently. "So I'm fired, am I?" he demanded. "Fired, without no notice or nothin'. 'Ow about my two weeks' wages? 'Ow about square treatment? 'Ow about my things upstairs?
"Hell, so that's what you've learned in the Gorgio world, is it?" he asked malevolently. "Then I'll teach you what they do in the Romany world; and to-morrow you can put the two together and see what they look like." With a Romany expletive, he flung back the curtain of the tent and passed out into the night.

His voice rose into a shriek. It took half a dozen men to gag and bind him; he lay on a truss of straw, his eyes fixed malevolently on Constans, whose orders had prevented him from carrying out a plan so eminently practicable. The shadows were growing long when Piers Minor pointed out a cloud of dust far up the Palace Road. Later on they could distinguish the figures of men and horses.

As he went he kept looking back at her, scowling malevolently. Pollyooly gazed after him with unchanging face.
He had a keen wit, and could be ironic and biting when he chose, but 'twas not his habit to use his power malevolently. Even those who envied his great fortunes, and whose spite would have maligned him had he been of different nature, were in a measure restrained from their bitterness by a certain powerful composure, which all felt who looked on him and heard him speak.
"If you're not ashamed of yourself," he said, "you ought to be." "I am not, then," said Mary Ellen. Gallagher turned to Moriarty. "You're sure now," he said, "that the tune the band is to play is the one you told me." Moriarty grinned malevolently. "I am sure," he said. "For if you're playing any kind of a trick on me " "I am not.
He turned away now with impudent slowness, then suddenly twisted his body round and made a grimace of animal-hatred at Barry Whalen, his teeth showing like those of a wolf. "The Baas will live long as he want," he added, "but Oom Paul will have your heart and plenty more," he added, malevolently, and moved into the darkness without, closing the door behind him.
Jim gave a flicker of a chuckle in his throat, but kept his outward gravity. The stranger eyed the two malevolently, helplessly, and began once more, holding his rage with a cold voice.
