Why have you come to Madrid, my lord? Do you not know that Madrid is the worst, the wickedest, the dirtiest, vilest, and most damnable habitation devised by man for the corruption of humanity? Especially in the month of November?
She was not talking to her heavenly Father, but to Jennie, and ended her petitions thus: "O God, forgive me if I have done anything naughty to-day; and please forgive Jennie Vance, the wickedest girl in this town." Then the little Pharisee got into bed. "The wickedest girl in this town!" Jennie's eyes flashed in the dark like a couple of fireflies.
If in middle-class life an ever-ready distrust is regarded as the sign of a "bad character," and consequently as an imprudence, here among us, beyond the middle-class world and its Yeas and Nays, what should prevent our being imprudent and saying: the philosopher has at length a RIGHT to "bad character," as the being who has hitherto been most befooled on earth he is now under OBLIGATION to distrustfulness, to the wickedest squinting out of every abyss of suspicion.
In reply, the leading counsel for the Crown said that it was neither his wish nor his duty to strain the law against me, or to put a worse interpretation upon the facts than they would bear under the strictest scrutiny.

"Oh, sometimes I think you're the wickedest man in the world, that I do...!" "Who's made me so, then? Who went and wed another man as soon as I'd gone off to make a fortune for her, eh? Tell me that!" "I don't believe it; if it had been that you'd have told me." "How could I tell 'ee? Wouldn't you, wouldn't any woman, have bidden me hold my tongue till I'd shown what I could do?
"Is love foolish then?" said Lord Bolingbroke. "Can you doubt it?" answered Hamilton; "it makes a man think more of another than himself! I know not a greater proof of folly!" "Ah! /mon aimable ami/," cried Chaulieu; "you are the wickedest witty person I know. I cannot help loving your language, while I hate your sentiments."
They did not offer to retreat until the soldiers were right up among them, there being some sixty Indians and one hundred soldiers. This was beyond doubt the wickedest little battle I had ever witnessed, but it did not last long. In the engagement three soldiers were killed and five wounded, and nine horses killed and nine wounded.
Everybody knows to what sort of influences several Italian changes of Government since the unity of Italy have been attributed. These sinister agencies are likely to be most effective just when everything else is troubled, and when, therefore, they are particularly dangerous. The wildest and wickedest king's mistress would not plot against an invulnerable administration.
And snobbishness has this peculiar and devilish quality of evil, that it is rampant among very kindly people, with open hearts and houses. But it is our great English vice; to be watched more fiercely than small-pox. If a man wished to hear the worst and wickedest thing in England summed up in casual English words, he would not find it in any foul oaths or ribald quarrelling.
Everybody declared that he was the wickedest young man in the world; and everybody began to find out that they had always distrusted the appearance of his goodness.
