This experiment was repeated many times and each time provoked the serious-minded scientific visitors who witnessed it to laughter. Why? Because the spectacle of a savage little terrier rushing upon an innocent rabbit as if to mangle it integrated the body of the onlooker with a strong desire to exert muscular action to prevent the cruelty.
She thought that Gowan had hurled straight down to the bottom with all the terrific velocity of that sheer drop, and that he had plunged upon the fire and upon the dear form outstretched beside it, to crush and mangle and be crushed and mangled. The thought was too frightful for human endurance. A long time she lay in a swoon, her head on the very edge of the brink.
The printers offered Margaret prices for work in these two kinds. "I'll think on't," said she. She took down her diurnal book, and calculated that the price of an hour's work on those arts would be about one-fifth what she got for an hour at the tub and mangle.

He would have charged a regiment, had he suddenly found one in his path. When he turned up a stone for the grubs, beetles, and scorpions which lurked beneath it, he would send it flying with a savage sweep of his paw.

Archie made a tremendous effort to ignore her, then he ran after her saying: 'Will you shut up or will you not? Aylmer seized hold of him. 'What are you going to do, Archie? 'Teach Dilly what I am. She says Oh, she's such a fool!
Of course this turbid water renders it pretty difficult to get one's clothes properly washed, and the substitute for a mangle is an active Kafir, who makes the roughly-dried clothes up into a neat parcel, places them on a stone and dances up and down upon them for as long or short a time as he pleases.
I determined that they should not mangle her to no purpose, and so, with the aid of my rifle, I added her also to my collection of specimens." "Have you ever found one of their nests?" Webb asked. "Yes. They are rather curious affairs, and are sometimes five feet in diameter each way, and quite flat at the top.
On the other hand, to learn the nicer processes of the ill-paid work of feeding and folding at the mangle the passing of towels and napkins through the machine without turning in or wrinkling the edges, the passing of table-covers between cylinders in such a way that the work will never come out in a shape other than square to learn these nicer processes requires from thirteen to fifteen days.
