Thereby, it may be pointed out, their action merely resembles womankind in any stage from the lowest degree of savagery to the highest stage of civilisation.
As the flame crept in among the broken willows, Hicks raised his head. "If I tell you what become of her, will you let me go?" he proposed again. "I'll quit the country." "You'll tell me or cook by inches, right here," Mac answered deliberately. "You can't buy me off." The blaze flickered higher. I watched it, with every fiber of my being revolting against such savagery, and the need for it.
After they had heard him patiently, an old man, the spokesman, said: "Tell me do you have Prodestans in this Society of yours?" "Certainly," Davitt answered. "We invite all Irishmen." "Then we'll have nothing to do with yez!" As my Aunt Mary could relate thrilling stories of '98, so could my own mother tell me all about the savagery of Orangemen in her days.
When the Master turned round again, the five of them, mother and four children, were in the midst of the wildest sort of frolic, and impudent Finn had actually reached the length of growling at his mother with theatrical savagery, and leaping at the loose skin about her throat with widely distended eyes and gaping jaws. After this Tara spent most of her days in the orchard with the pups.
Somehow his identity had been discovered; his past was dragged up against him, possibly by rivals jealous of his skill; his business went and he found it advisable to retire to the Transvaal before the Annexation, at that time the home of sundry people of broken repute.

Nearly all the supernormal phenomena believed in by primitive man so far as we can judge of him from contemporary savagery would suggest the agency of an invisible man; clairvoyance, and other manifestations of preternatural knowledge, would suggest independence of the senses in the acquisition of knowledge; every kind of "miracle" would bespeak an extension of power over physical nature beyond human wont; while all these together would point to that freedom from the trammels of space and time, which is of the very essence of immaterial or spiritual subsistence.
Apparently they were going to make a night of it, and Robert watched, fascinated by the first sight of his own kind in many months, but repelled by their savagery when they had come. Some of the men fell down before the fires and went to sleep. The others did not awaken them, which he took to be clear proof that they would remain until the next day.
To an American there is a kind of sanctity even in an English turnip-field, when he thinks how long that small square of ground has been known and recognized as a possession, transmitted from father to son, trodden often by memorable feet, and utterly redeemed from savagery by old acquaintanceship with civilized eyes. The wildest things in England are more than half tame.
"'Tell me it is not true, I cried at last, 'tell me it is not true, or I will kill you where you stand! "I expected the usual routine of tears and protestations of innocence, all the lies and subterfuges with which women are wont to defend themselves against the unreasoning savagery of their mates. I was disappointed.
