"I've been layin' for him ever since, an' I'll give it to him good, first chance I get." "He goes to night school now," remarked one. "Oh, yes, he's puttin' on airs all 'round," returned Dick. "I'll night school him!" he added, vengefully. It was not long before Dick found an opportunity to execute his threats of vengeance.
"She's said she's goin', so goin' she is," he grunted matter-of-factly. "No argifyin's no good when she's said that. You might know that by now, Mar." He added, to assuage his wife, that Mr. Silver was going to stop with them at The Sefton Arms. "He's better than some," said the old lady almost vengefully. "Now then, Mar-r-r!" cried the old man, "You're gettin' a reg'lar old woman, you are."
He jumped up, crimson, all his white hair bristling, his eyes glaring vengefully, and shook violently the flaps of his ruined waistcoat before the disconcerted Sotillo. "Look! Those uniformed thieves of yours downstairs have robbed me of my watch." The old sailor's aspect was very threatening. Sotillo saw himself cut off from the table on which his sabre and revolver were lying.
It was not the first time she had seen the uncouth faces and forms of the motley group who had been vengefully regarding her; but their appearance had seemed doubly appalling when viewed in the light of being her associates for life.

It fell in front of us on the edge of the road, and delivered its shrapnel as vengefully as if it had fallen in the Boche lines.
After this unavailing visit, the necessity of going again established itself in me, and I went repeatedly, choosing, indeed, rainy days when I could not well go elsewhere, and vengefully rejoicing, when I went, in the inadequacy of its hugeness and the ugliness of its monuments.

Here and there, nestling against the gentle slopes of the hillside clearing, was a low-thatched farmhouse among its orchards.
