When he dropped the mask, revealed himself in his true character oh, I knew he must be guilty. And I was helpless." "My God, five years!" muttered Newman. "How could you stand it?" "It was not so hard, except at first," said the lady. "Too much horror numbs, you know. And one thing made it endurable he has spared me the intimacy of marriage.
"Now I'm cold again, grandmother," said the child quietly. "Don't keep from shivering, then you'll be warm," said the old woman. "Are you shivering?" "No, I'm too old and stiff for it I can't shiver any more. But the cold numbs my limbs, so that I can't feel them. I could manage well enough if it wasn't for my back." "You lean your back against the cold stove too!"
"I don't know," he said with doubting emphasis. "You say you landed him without a penny in his pocket? I don't call that a good plan at all. Of course, he ain't a factor, but ... Well, it might've been as well to give him his fare home. He might make trouble for us, somehow.... I don't mind telling you, Cap'n, that you're an ass."

For a little space of time there fell upon me, as I crept along the road, that shadow of sleep which numbs the mind, but it could not compel me to lie down, and I accepted it only as a partial and beneficent oblivion which covered my desolation and suffering as a thin, transparent cloud may cover an evil moon.

One division, two divisions, four ships, eight Dreadnoughts even a squadron coming out of a harbour numbs the faculties with a sense of its might. Sixteen twenty twenty-four it was the unending numbers of this procession of sea-power which was most impressive. An hour passed and all were not by.

Was he regretting his friend? Having reached the last of that appalling series of crimes, was he imagining the several stages, each marked with a corpse? Was something like a conscience making itself felt deep down in that brute?

I venture a clumsy, but adequate translation of the words: "Death and Love, together mated, Watch and wait in ambuscade; At early morn, or else belated, They meet and mark the man or maid. Burning sigh, or breath that freezes, Numbs or maddens man or maid; Death or Love the victim seizes, Breathing from their ambuscade." "Enough, Madame!" said the old voice, with sudden severity.
=Brain of the Young easily overcome by Alcohol.= No one expects to become a drunkard or a criminal when he first begins to drink. The continued use of alcohol, however, soon numbs the brain and weakens the mind, so that the person's will power is lost. He is then not able to quit drinking even though he wants to stop.
