Now we know that the violin has been separated and left so, being merely tied up, and been in that dirty little den of ravening wolves or tinker dealers for nobody knows how long, with the rays of the sun falling on it for many days; the result is as we see, the back has contracted and drawn the ribs in to some extent, it is glue-bound, we will set it free, the wood itself will help us, as if glad to resume its former occupation; give me that soft brush with clean water."
There were roofs of sound fir and sweet cedar, carven cornices, cave-like window embrasures with no glass, and little circular rooms built about shrines in which sat broken images of Baal the sun god, of a sandaled Astarte, and a ravening Melkarth, with the lion's skin.
We let them fall to ruin as quickly as they would, and their sites are still so pestilential, after the lapse of centuries, that travelers are publicly guarded against them.

He gulped, swallowed, slobbered, choked, coughed, attempted to sit up, was aware that he was the focal center of a ring of glaring, burning eyes, like eyes of ravening beasts; and fainted. His next conscious impression was of standing up, supported by friendly arms on either side, while somebody was asking him if he could walk a step or two.
"No, no, I could not look one of them in the face again." "But do you suppose that these people are any better? You surely don't imagine that the man with the calves and his ravening wolf are married?" "How can you say such things!" "Why, you big baby, one can see that at a glance.

You traitorous young dog, leaving all those beautiful trout up on the moor to be devoured by the enemies of your country!" "Well, they can't eat them raw, uncle." "Why not, sir? They are only so many ravening savages, ready to breathe out battle and slaughter if they got free."
