Don Diego, with his body stretched in an arc across the cannon's mouth, legs and arms lashed to the carriage on either side of it, eyeballs rolling in his head, glared maniacally at Captain Blood. A man may not fear to die, and yet be appalled by the form in which death comes to him. From frothing lips he hurled blasphemies and insults at his tormentor. "Foul barbarian! Inhuman savage!
The boy's hands, clenched, were raised above his head, and then shaken almost maniacally in Gentleman Laroque's face. "It's a lie! I I don't understand, but but you two, you devils, are together in this!" "Sure!" retorted Laroque, as insolently as before and flung the other's hands away. "Sure, we are!" "It's a lie!" said the boy again. "I was in a hole. I needed money.
The fact is, the man was maniacally in error, and always in error, as regarded the ultimate or poetic truth of Milton; but, as regarded truth reputed and truth apparent, he often had the air of being furiously in the right; an example of which I will cite. "That from the secret top Of Oreb or of Sinai didst inspire;"
Not certainly her own religious attitude, which was almost maniacally sincere; not public opinion, which had naturally much more sympathy for the religious humanities which she did not restore than for the religious inhumanities which she did.
It was with difficulty that she kept her hat on her head. She held it with both hands. The wind seemed to make sport of her, to laugh at her. It treated her as it would a tenderfoot.

Jerry, who had never had malaria, did not understand. But in his heart he knew great trouble in that Skipper was in trouble.

'Whoever advised it, you're a gainer, Dudley, said Uncle Silas.
Those maniacally ugly buildings which he originally put up as unpretentious sheds barely to shelter human life, grow every day more and more lovely to his deluded eye. Things he would never have dreamed of defending, except as crude necessities, things like common kitchens or infamous asbestos stoves, begin to shine quite sacredly before him, merely because they reflect the wrath of Gudge.
Next, however, comes a fiction so maniacally gross, so incoherent, and so rife with internal contradictions, as to involve its own exposure, literally shrinking from its own intelligible enunciation, burrowing in sentences kept aloof from the text, and calling upon foot-notes to cover it. The case will speak for itself.
