He had acquired, under that roof, a terrible habit of telling stories. He had never incurred that vice with his mother, because then and there he had nothing to fear; now, he had everything to fear; the grim aunt even the quiet, kind, cold, austere uncle the apprentices the strange servants and, oh! more than all, those hardeyed, loud-laughing tormentors, the boys of his own age!
At the same time and without evincing the slightest acknowledgment the huge beast received two further shots from Hendrik and Arend. While the guns were being reloaded, the monster again retired to the pool. There it was saluted by seven more balls without even once attempting to approach its tormentors in their place of retreat.
A wife might to some extent be able to protect herself from the brutalities of her husband, but what chance had a helpless, friendless, terrified child, incapable even of running away from its tormentors, or of making an appeal for protection to outsiders?
He seemed to be lame, for while he tried to advance toward the young rascals waving his stout cane wildly, they had no difficulty in keeping a safe distance off, and continuing the cruel bombardment. The smashing of that ball flung by Josh, who was pitcher on the Lenox baseball team, and a fine shot, was the first intimation the three tormentors of the old man had that the tables had been turned.
But though they had now quitted the stage, and arrived at the head of a small stair case by which they were to descend out of the theatre, Mr Monckton, finding all his tormentors retired, except Mr Arnott, whom he hoped to elude, could not resist making one more attempt for a few moments' conversation with Cecilia; and therefore, again applying to Morrice, he called out, "I don't think you have shewn the ladies any of the contrivances behind the scenes?"
In that case our tormentors may be getting ready to plan something now. So let's hike for the road at once." Dick led the way, all three boys moving as noiselessly as they could. Prescott posted his friends, then chose his own post, so that they were stationed at intervals of about a hundred yards. All had hiding places within plain view of this rough country road. Now the time dragged again.
Lü and his wife were threatened by the collectors, who had gathered in great numbers, and when threats failed to achieve anything, their tormentors began to curse them, and declared they would beat them and soon teach them what it meant to turn from idols to a new religion.
But at last, when the worst of the tormentors were all assembled together, two of the Scots came into the room where they were havin' a wee drappie. "Mon, Sandy," said one of them, shaking his head, "I've been thinking what a sad thing that would be! I hope it will no come to pass." "Aye, that would be a sore business, indeed, Tam," said Sandy, and he, too, shook his head. And so they went on.
"It would make all matters easier if at least Bail were taken for people Accused only by y^e invisible tormentors of y^e poor sufferers and not Blemished by any further Grounds of suspicion against them.
And when you have written the book of your soul, then your tormentors will be they will be like the tormentors of Dante! Go away! Go away to Europe, where you can be free!" And so before long, he stood upon a steamer-pier and waved Henry Darrell and his wife farewell.
