In their diaries their officers speak of this Peninsula as the Slaughterhouse." Brigadier-General de Lothbinière and Major Ruthven lunched and young Brodrick and I dined together on board the Triad with the hospitable Vice-Admiral.
And all at once something happened with my consciousness; as though I were in a dream, as though I were standing on a winter night in the slaughterhouse yard, and Prokofy beside me, smelling of pepper cordial; I made an effort to control myself, and rubbed my eyes, and at once it seemed to me that I was going along the road to the interview with the Governor.

"Yes, sar, they always cry out for blood. It's all they've got to live on. They drink it like you and me drink coffee or rum. It's terrible to hear them in the night." "Why, you don't mean to say you've heard them drinking it, Tom," I asked. "That's all nonsense." "They'll drink any kind, any they can get hold of, chickens' or pigs' or cows'; you can hear them any night near the slaughterhouse."
Yes, it was on that street that she and her children would soon be thrown, and she turned her hopeless, despairing eyes toward the outer boulevards looking from right to left, lingering at the two extremities, seized by a feeling of terror, as if her life thenceforward was to be spent between a slaughterhouse and a hospital.

Deighton, if you wish to save your wife's and your own life, and escape from this slaughterhouse, now is your time. As God is my judge I believe we shall never be safe again, and I would gladly go with you if I could. But my daughter Nelly is at Lak-a-lak, and well, that settles it. Banderah here will tell you that he dreads your staying, as the priests may plot your death at any moment.
And he had waited in vain. Now he had reached ripe age, and the future is visible ever more gloomy; to-morrow has come, as sad, as empty, and as desolate as yesterday. He was tired at last of waiting, patiently, humbly, resigned like the beast of burden which awaits the slaughterhouse. Beasts of burden!
Such was the origin of the first digestive tube, which has exercised so baleful an influence on the course of terrestrial life, and turned the earth into a vast slaughterhouse." "Is there no hope for us?" I said. "No," he replied; "the earth is a shipwrecked planet. None of the higher organisms there will ever rise to our level.
You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity, expensive races, race living at the expense of race. Let us not deny it up and down.
