All thought was discouraged. They forged chains of superstition for the minds, and manacles of iron for the bodies of men. The earth was ruled by the cowl and sword, by the mitre and scepter, by the altar and throne, by Fear and Force, by Ignorance and Faith, by ghouls and ghosts.
To the shame of our common humanity be it said, there were not wanting those who sought to coin the very blood of the brave men at the front, and these ghouls and vampires talked loudest when the war was at length brought to a close, to be quoted in after years as history by Bancroft and others. Chief John adopted a Fabian policy from the first.
The Ku-Klux Klan, a great secret society, was organized for this rough business, numbering at first, among either its members or its abettors, citizens of the highest respectability. Its local lodges were called "dens," its members "ghouls," " Giants," "goblins," "titans," "furies," "dragons," and "hydras," were names of different classes among its officers.
"How gloomy my life has become!" he said to himself. "Young girls are always appearing to me, only formerly they were angels and now they are ghouls." That evening, as he was undressing preparatory to going to bed, his hand came in contact, in the pocket of his coat, with the packet which he had picked up on the boulevard. He had forgotten it.
The silence and the deadly chill of death would soon be here in these wrecked corridors. The end of the Planetara. We prowled like ghouls. We did not see Coniston. Snap had been by the shifter pumps. We found him in the oval doorway. He lay sprawled. Dead? No, he moved. He sat up before we could get to him. He seemed confused, but his senses clarified with the movement of our figures over him.
Hodder had thought to have fathomed all the horrors of her existence, but it was not until he looked into this room that the bottomless depths of it were brought home to him. Could it be possible that the civilization in which he lived left any human being so defenceless as to be at the mercy of the ghouls who had been here?
Damn them, all of them, the crass manikins!" "Too much is written by the men who can't write about the men who do write," Martin concurred. "Why, I was appalled at the quantities of rubbish written about Stevenson and his work." "Ghouls and harpies!" Brissenden snapped out with clicking teeth.
There is but a step from methods to instances; and when Lettice came into his room one morning she never showed herself before mid-day she saw with delight on the paper before him an unmistakable stream of verses meandering down the middle of the sheet. He had set to work! Then he was saved saved from himself, and from the ghouls that harbor in a desolate and outraged mind.
"By order of the Grand Cyclops of the Den and his Ghouls, K.K.K." "P.S. We don't mean to hurt you. We don't make no war on women and children as the Yankees did, but we mean what we say git out! And don't come back here any more neither!" The rumor of the mysterious Klan and its terrible doings had been in the air for many months.
Witchcraft, the frenzied worship of goblins, ghouls, and devils, the sacrifice to Biskoonah, all these have little by little taken the place of the grotesque but harmless rites practiced at the Onon-hou-aroria. Amochol has made it sinister and terrible beyond words; and it is making of the Senecas a swarm of fiends from hell itself. "This, sir, is the truth.
