He swallowed galbanum, seseli, and viper's venom which freezes the heart; Negro women, singing barbarous words in the moonlight, pricked the skin of his forehead with golden stylets; he loaded himself with necklaces and charms; he invoked in turn Baal-Khamon, Moloch, the seven Kabiri, Tanith, and the Venus of the Greeks.
"You know I never told you anything, but you know how it is with me?" "I know," said Max. "I've been always hoping I should die somehow, and and that would make an end," the girl wept. "Other people have died since we have started: three strong men and a woman, one from a viper's bite and the others with fever. But I can't die! Soldier, you never let me die!" "I don't mean to!"
"A relation of the Inca's: one of the viper's brood," replied the first. "They say two strangers were made prisoners leading on the rebels," observed a third. "They are to be shot also, I hope." "No doubt of it; but the viceroy has thought it necessary to send to explain the matter to the English consul at Lima; and his answer has not arrived," remarked a fourth.
She was not then a sufficiently good Catholic to pardon her lover deceiving her, by not knowing how to die for her pleasure.

Could I fancy that your astute judgment would pass a dying man who, however weak, had no rise of pulse or temperature? At four yards, I could deceive you.

And now her rounded ears clung to her skull, which was flattened like a viper's; the skin of her forehead became convulsively wrinkled; she drew in her bristling, but silky muzzle, and twice silently opened her jaws, garnished with formidable fangs. From that moment a kind of magnetic connection seemed to be established between the man and the beast.
"Just fancy, little viper's eyes, looking as if they had been bored with a gimlet, in a face as pale as death so pale, that the lips are white. That's for his appearance. As for his character, the good old man's so polite! he pulls off his hat so often, and makes you such low bows, that it is quite embarrassing."
"Charlotte started up from the sofa like a frightened doe, trembling like a leaf, gave me one of those looks in which women forgo all their dignity, all their modesty, their refinement, and even their grace, the sparkling glitter of a hunted viper's eye when driven into a corner, and said, 'And I have loved this man!

Dale had never before conceded but to Virtue. Could he have then but looked into the dark and stormy heart, which he twice misread! "It is well, very well," muttered Harley, when the door had closed upon the parson. "The viper and the viper's brood!
