In the course of his sulphury remarks he threatened condign punishment upon the base miscreant who should dare use his penknife on one of those desks. His address was equal to a course in "Paradise Lost," nor was it without its effect upon the audience.
The bull was just lowering his head to charge forward his horns were set the foam fell from his lips and his eyes glanced fire out of their dark orbs. Before he could make the rush, there came the loud report of a pistol a cloud of sulphury smoke a short struggle on the cliff and then a dead plunge in the torrent below!
Is the way to hell as pleasant as this? and are people so unconcerned about it? I was amazed; but though the man told me this pleasant road led to hell, I did not stop; I went on and on, seemingly as pleased as others were. However, it did not continue like this long, for soon I came to a rough part, all up and down, where the atmosphere was thick and sulphury, and it was almost dark.

On leaving the depot, we plunged into the heart of the hill on which Glasgow Cathedral stands and were whisked through darkness and sulphury smoke to daylight again. The cars bore us past a spur of the Highlands, through a beautiful country where women were at work in the fields, to Linlithgow, the birth-place of Queen Mary.
That temperator wus down ther' blazin' drunk an' shootin' up the town. Say, I felt kind o' hot at that. Yup, pretty sulphury an' hot, an' I went right out, quiet like, and fetched the boys. Them as had said their prayers wus the first to join me. Wal, we went along an' did things with that. Ah, guess Jake's comin' this way; likely he wants somethin'."
