I bear you no ill-will, and I am only too glad that you should have employment of my dear husband; but in common fairness treat me as his wife, and do not try to make me wretched by covert sneers. I have committed no crime, and done you no injury. "Poor fool!" said Henchard with fond savagery, holding out the note. "To know no better than commit herself in writing like this!
Then, by dint of pushing and tugging, the head was got into the "lunette," the upper part of which fell in such wise that the neck was fixed as in a ship's port-hole and all this was accomplished amidst such confusion and with such savagery that one might have thought that head some cumbrous thing which it was necessary to get rid of with the greatest speed.
He moderated the savagery of his own attack somewhat, sparring cleverly for a chance to feint and then land a face blow. Dick gave ground readily when it served his purpose, though he did not run. "Keep back, fellows!" called Tom Reade. "Don't get near enough to interfere with either man." "Don't interfere with either the man or the thing, you mean," interposed Danny Grin.
He especially directed the officers to keep themselves in light marching order, every one of them to take only a bearskin, a blanket, one extra pair of shoes, one extra shirt, and no luxuries at all. His orders to the Indians showed a savagery which, unfortunately, was not peculiar then to him. In the heat of battle they were not to scalp those they slew, because time then was so valuable.
Her ideas, she knew, were as rare as a Tennessee Coneflower or a Black Outhouse Hollyhock-both of which bordered on extinction.

The contract wasn't as simple as that alone.
"I marked his back. He ducked. I told him he was getting it worse." At so civilized piece of savagery, Adrian opened his mouth wide. "Did you really? I admire that. You told him he was getting it worse?" Adrian opened his mouth again to shake another roll of laughter out. "Come," he said, "Excalibur has done his word. Pitch him into the lake. And see here comes the Blandish.
It was like falling back upon the normal conditions of existence thus to behold the 'ills that flesh is heir to' in the midst of a city where such rich outward provision for human activity and enjoyment fills the senses. Excessive civilization has its morbid tendencies, and great refinement in one direction is paralleled by an equal degree of savagery in another.
Yet fear of the unseen is but the survival of savagery. Faith founded on fear becomes servile, debasing, superstitious. If religion has no higher motive than that of fear, the trembling and dread before some great omnipotent unknown, it can give the world neither help nor uplift. What is there in God to fear? Is the Lord of life also the foe of our lives?
The boat landed against a jetty of stone, and they stepped out dryshod. Wenlock stared at the gate with its dressing of heads as though they fascinated him. "And Teresa will have been brought up within sight of all this," he murmured to himself, "and will be accustomed to it. Fancy marrying a woman who has spent twenty years of her life in the neighborhood of all this savagery."
It was a struggle against manifest destiny, such as must needs be repeated whenever civilization comes to dispute a place in new lands with savagery, and which has been continued, more and more feebly, to our own day. The war was bloody, and for a long time the issue hung in the balance. At last the Indian king was driven westward.
