Place then before your eyes, O conscript fathers, that spectacle, miserable indeed, and tearful, but still indispensable to rouse your minds properly: the nocturnal attack upon the most beautiful city in Asia; the irruption of armed men into Trebonius's house, when that unhappy man saw the swords of the robbers before he heard what was the matter, the entrance of Dolabella, raging, his ill omened voice, and infamous countenance, the chains, the scourges, the rack, the armourer who was both torturer and executioner, all which they say that the unhappy Trebonius endured with great fortitude.

It is not my life that I would save!" "I know that, Mahommed Khan! I respect your motive. It's the method that I can't tolerate." The Risaldar drew his arm away from her and began to pace the room.

A low and applauding murmur ran through the assembly. 'Thou comest amongst us as an examiner, mayest thou remain a convert!
Time and thirst are two things you and I talk about; but the victims whom holy men and righteous judges used to stretch on their engines knew better what they meant than you or I! What is that great bucket of water for? said the Marchioness de Brinvilliers, before she was placed on the rack. For you to drink, said the torturer to the little woman.

"If you have any order to give me it's my duty to carry it out," he answered, after another silent pause, with a slow, measured lisp, raising his eyebrows and calmly twisting his head from one side to another, all this with exasperating composure.
