"Am I to know nothing, then?" he cried, after a long pause. "Your valet seems to have been justly punished. Did he not exceed your orders in calumniating Madame Desmarets to a person named Ida, whose jealousy he roused in order to turn her vindictiveness upon us?" "Ah, monsieur! in my anger I informed him about Madame Jules," said Auguste. "Monsieur!" cried the husband, keenly irritated.
It had come at last, his great opportunity; all the evil in his nature was roused at last; jealousy, vindictiveness, unscrupulousness. He gloated over his own iniquity; every feature of it rejoiced him. He had no moral right to that ring, all the dearer his possession of it! This man had never injured him; the more delicious his hatred of him.
It was just the sort of action to provoke hungry, peevish birds to vindictiveness. That which had been jostled turned on the offender with angry shrieking, and instantly a clamorous fight was in progress. Claws became interlocked, and they fell each with distended crest, like a gilt-edged cloudlet following the setting sun. Shadow and substance met with a splash.
Yes, of shadows; for what was it that urged him on but the obstinate pride, the ambition, the vindictiveness, which in the beginning are often associated with patriotism and in the end are apt to become its masters? Giuseppe Mansana understood this as he thought over his own case and that of hundreds of others who passed in review before his mind.
Deploring this supposed misconception, yet despairing of correcting it, Captain Delano shifted the subject; but finding his companion more than ever withdrawn, as if still sourly digesting the lees of the presumed affront above-mentioned, by-and-by Captain Delano likewise became less talkative, oppressed, against his own will, by what seemed the secret vindictiveness of the morbidly sensitive Spaniard.
While he has written what will command the sympathy and the reverence of every one, however irreconcilably opposed to him, to whom a great and noble aim and the trials of a desperate and self-sacrificing struggle to compass it are objects of admiration and honour, it is undeniable that ill-nature or vindictiveness or stupidity will find ample materials of his own providing to turn against him.
Like most women possessed of an abstract idea she had unconsciously personified the idea and made a religion of it; but it was a religion of charity and not of vindictiveness. "I should like my father's death avenged by love and not by hate," she said; "I would have it bring peace, not a sword." On one point only she remained, if not hostile yet unresponsive. This was when he spoke of de Crucis.
So commenced the day, yet is he, the object of the world's homage, within a few hours defiled by a lather and the hand of an impious one! At these words of the King there rose a shout of vindictiveness and fury; but he cried, 'Punishment on the offenders in season, O people!
Severity of punishment arose through vindictiveness and fear in an age when many criminals escaped justice altogether, and it was hoped that savage sentences would outweigh the chance of escape in the mind of the criminal. At present a very large part of the criminal law is concerned in safeguarding the rights of property, that is to say as things are now the unjust privileges of the rich.
'I am altogether at your service, he said, sitting down with resignation. 'It is all that tiresome woman, Lady Charlotte Wynnstay, she whispered to him behind the music-stand. I never saw such a person in my life. 'Macaulay's Lady, Holland without the brains, suggested Langham with languid vindictiveness as he gave her the note. Meanwhile Mr. Wynnstay and the Squire sauntered in together.
