The hush holding it was like the drawn breath of a victim waiting the first turn of the torturous wheel. The Asiatic shore offered the Prince a long stretch, and he persisted in coasting it until the donjon of the White Castle that terror to Christians arrested his eye.
The wily libertine, deliberate as the demon to which we have likened him, could provoke the warmth which he did not share could stimulate the eloquence which he would not feel could coldly, like some Mephistopheles of science, subject the golden-winged bird or butterfly to the torturous process of examination, with a pin thrust through its vitals, and gravely dilate on its properties, its rich plumage, and elaborate finish of detail, without giving heed to those writhings which declared its agonies.
Our kirk to-day is a building of substantiality and even grace; then it was a somewhat squalid place of worship, in whose rafters the pigeon trespassed and the swallow built her home. We sat in torturous high-backed benches so narrow that our knees rasped the boards before us, and sleep in Master Gordon's most dreary discourse was impossible.
Had they not become soul mates for the reason that each of them had possessed empathy for the other innocent being charred in the torturous hells of family? He had not even known her. In all of these years of marriage on top of those comprising their friendship of youth he had not known her any more than one did the strangest of strangers. "Still tired," asked Nawin.

Pickwick made a wise resolve that if he were to stop in the "Great White Horse" for six months, he. would never trust himself about in it alone again.

Because she knew it was true. Her father had been assigned here as an intern.
At once the sentence is given, perhaps awarding the most torturous, lingering death probably without trial or investigation, and, for all the king knows, at the instigation of some one influenced by wicked spite.
Our whole course up the valley had been torturous and disheartening. We had been out fifteen days from Northwest River Post and had covered only eighty miles. Hubbard had been ill, and I had been ill. Always, as we pressed onward, I dreaded the prospect of retracing our steps through the Susan Valley. I hated the valley from end to end. I have more reason to hate it now.
At its best, it has the continent of Antarctica beat four thousand ways from a week ago last Candlemas. At its worst, it is sudden death; at its best, it is somewhat less than sudden. Not that Eisberg is a really mean planet; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune can kill a man faster and with less pain. No, Eisberg isn't mean it's torturous.
