"Any news, Garcias?" he asked shortly, as he came up. "None, captain, except that these boys have brought some despatches for you from the English Lord."
It was better so; she could hold herself more steady. There was a certain mercilessness in the way she waited for him to break the silence. "Is it final?" he asked at length. "I wish you would give me another chance, Beatrix." "I have given you too many, as it is," she replied sadly. He looked up at her, too much startled now to care whether or not she saw the tell-tale tears. "How do you mean?"
Dax regarded them with the mercilessness of a death-watch; she remembered the time when Hamilton’s excuses for his frequent presence at the post-office had been more voluble than logical.

All parties experienced unheard-of sufferings. An Indian chieftain by the name of Mugg, notorious for his sagacity and his mercilessness, now came to the Piscataqua River and proposed peace.

Thousands of young men, with compressed lip and moistened eye, lean against those marble pillars, lost in thought, and almost excuse even the demoniac and blood-thirsty mercilessness of Danton, Marat, and Robespierre.
"I have a right to confiscate that sort," said Max. "What right?" She flung the question like a challenge, and as she flung it she straightened herself in sudden splendid defiance.

The men of his division had all preceded him, and no one except his own boatmen knew that Msala was to be abandoned. There was in Guy Oscard a dogged sense of justice which sometimes amounted to a cruel mercilessness. When he reached the camp he deliberately withheld from Durnovo the news that the Msala household had left the river station.
I cannot, at least, concur in that definition of a moral character, upon which no operation of Divine grace has been expended, for its raising or its beautifying, which accepts that of the pagan Indian as its highest expression; and, distinctly, hesitate to affirm that a high moral instinct inheres in the Indian, or that such is permitted to dominate his mind; and, when I find one of these very writers who claim for him a high inborn morality, discovering in him such indwelling monsters as revenge, mercilessness, implacability, the affirmation falters not the less upon my tongue.
