'All right,' says she. 'Make haste and die, my good soul,' says she, 'for, while you live, you'll be a hobelisk to reform.' So she went off, but I made to the door, and called after her I should die when God pleased, and I had seen a good many young folk laid out, that looked as like to make old bones as ever she does--chalk-faced-- skinny---to-a-d!

Outside he waited a second, then grasped the banister. 'For all he sets so quiet, they've done him no good in that place,' he thought. 'Them eyes of his!' And slowly he descended, full of a sort of very deep surprise.英文原著 · 《Fraternity》
"You thought to escape me! To hide yourself from my eyes in the wood! Miserable! Do you not know that I have need of you--that I have not finished with you yet? Do you, then, wish to be scourged to Riolama with thorny twigs--to be dragged thither by the beard?"
He had been staring open-mouthed at her, still on his knees, and holding his mantle open with his skinny hands. "Rima! have mercy on me!" he cried out piteously. "I cannot go to Riolama, it is so far--so far.英文原著 · 《Green Mansions》
