He be^cauie possessed with a fearful fury towards his tenants.
* The curs ! — the slaves 1— the savages ! — I let them alone all these years, and here is my reward ! I'll show them ! I'll pinch tlieir cowardly bones for them 1 By God, I'll fire them out like a rabbit-warren ! ' he cried to himself, while hotel touts were in v6,in inquiring from him the destination of his luggage. Ho trampled over railway-porters and cabmen, as if they were so many tedious impediments to his vengeance ; soothing... them, nevertheless, with liberal plasters of half crowns.
