'It was as if, she herself said afterwards, 'I had wanted to be a kitchen-maid. Yet the want, absurd and impracticable as it was, not only remained fixed immovably in her heart, but grew in intensity day by day. Her wretchedness deepened into a morbid melancholy. Everything about her was vile, and she herself, it was clear, to have deserved such misery, was even viler than her surroundings.
If all life and sense shall cease, then shalt thou cease also to be subject to either pains or pleasures; and to serve and tend this vile cottage; so much the viler, by how much that which ministers unto it doth excel; the one being a rational substance, and a spirit, the other nothing but earth and blood.
A viler state of morals than their polyandrian system must have produced can scarcely be imagined; and the ferocity of their manners, little as is otherwise known of them, is sufficiently shown by their scythed war-chariots, and the fact that in the open country the path from one town to another was by a covered way. But in what condition were the labouring classes? Montesinos.

Upon his viler metal test our purest pure, And see him transmutations three endure! Tissot gone! And you, sir, come in his place. What change is here! A stranger, I believe?" "In Geneva, yes," Claude answered, wondering and a little abashed. The man spoke with an air of power and weight. "And a student, doubtless in our Academia? Like our Tissot? Yes.
"There, say at once that the Deluge is coming, and let us be done with it," said the canon, rising. "So that we are at the brigadier's mercy!" "For a few days only. Don't be angry with me. In spite of my uniform I am an enemy of militarism; but we are ordered to strike and we strike. There could not be a viler trade than ours."
And I, of course, shall be panic-stricken as usual, I shall begin bowing and scraping before her and pulling my dressing-gown round me, I shall begin smiling, telling lies. Oh, the beastliness!
