The words of his mother, wrung from the agony of a parent's love, rang in my ears; the look of the father that of imbecile despair was imprinted on my mind; the hour was fast on the wing; all hope had perished; and before me was the unfortunate youth, handsome, elegant, and interesting, even in the writhings of the master-fiend, suffering a death which was to be, in effect, repeated in another and a crueller form.
The mother hung upon the neck of that raving patient who struck terror to men.

"Doesn't he?" replied Ralph, hot but good-humored. "I am sure, Carr, we are most grateful to you." "So am I," said Charles. "Your death agonies, Carr, are a credit to human nature. No great vulgar writhings with legs all over the stage, like Denis; but a chaste, refined wriggle, and all was over. It is a pleasure to kill a man who dies in such a gentlemanlike manner.
His faithful wife Sigyn catches the poison in a cup, but when the vessel is full she is obliged to empty it, and then a drop falls on the forehead of Loki, the destroyer, and the earth shakes on account of his writhings.
