Even to witness such tyranny, and still more to suffer under it, is enough to make the blood of the tamest slave boil within him."
One very severe, stormy winter the grosbeaks fairly crowded the streets of Pictou. A gentleman took one of these half-starved birds into his room, where it lived at large, and soon became the tamest and most affectionate of pets.
On the rare occasions that they met she was always ready to turn aside with half-contemptuous dislike on her proud face, and amuse herself with the tamest of her worshippers rather than hold any intercourse with the fabulous monster of the money-markets. Certainly there was a surprise in store for the world in which she moved.
Too late she had discovered that she had never really loved Gilbert Fenton; that the calm grateful liking which she had told herself must needs be the sole version of the grand passion whereof her nature was capable, had been only the tamest, most ordinary kind of friendship after all, and that in the depths of her soul there was a capacity for an utterly different attachment a love which was founded on neither respect nor gratitude, but which sprang into life in a moment, fatal and all-absorbing from its birth.
"I dreamed of voyagin' into unknown seas of seein' the islands of the West and of the East of visitin' all the wonderful corners of the world of facin' all the perils and experiencin' all the adventures of a free rover. And what was my fate? "The tamest sort of a life," he said, answering his own question. "The flattest existence ever man could imagine. Hi-mighty!

"Quite out of the question," said the archdeacon, answering his wife, and still reading the shopkeepers' names; "I don't suppose I shall be back till five."
In spite of constant persecution the skunk is without doubt the tamest of all of our wild animals, and shares with the weasel and mink the honour of being one of the most abundant of the carnivores, or flesh-eaters, near our homes. This is a great achievement for the skunk, to have thus held its own in the face of ever advancing and destroying civilisation.

"It doesn't need a lion to spring at Leveson," said Walden, contemptuously "A sheep would do it! The tamest cur that ever crawled would have spirit enough to make a dash for a creature so unutterably mean and false and petty! I may as well admit to you at once that I myself nearly struck him!"
