"Don't give me up," wept the secretary, nearly beside himself with terror; "don't give me up."
For aught I knew, they might have been players or bullies and Piccadilly captains, or mere undertaker's men dressed up in fine clothes; yet, believe me, it is no foolish pride, or a dead vanity, that prompts me to surmise that there were those who came to my Grandmother's funeral who had a Claim to be reckoned amongst the very noblest and proudest in the land.
It is a force seeking to dominate the earth, to drain the hills and sea of color, to set Dante at boosting Gopher Prairie, and to dress the high gods in Klassy Kollege Klothes.

The friends of the hour before now became threatening bullies, promising to get him ten years for the possession of burglar tools.

On one occasion I had escaped from the attentions of some bullies into his room. The persecutors were five or six older boys. I had no one to bear witness on my side except my tears. I won my case and since then Govinda Babu had a soft corner in his heart for me. One day he called me into his room during the recess.
I'd say, 'I hope none of our free and enlightened citizens will blow this lyin', swaggerin', bullyin' monument up? I should be sorry for 'em to take notice of such vulgar insolence as this; for bullies will brag. He'd wink and say, 'I won't non-concur with you, Mr. Slick.
Janke brings together opinions to this effect, Die Willkürliche Hervorbringen des Geschlechts, p. 275. Max Marcuse supports Ostwald's experiences, and says that the letters of prostitutes and their bullies are love-letters exactly like those of respectable people of the same class, and with the same elements of love and jealousy; these relationships, he remarks, often prove very enduring.
