And the sound of his well-known and commanding voice, seemed to have been like the taste of blood to the infuriated multitude outside. Hitherto they had been voiceless, wordless, needing all their breath for their hard-labouring efforts to break down the gates. But now, hearing him speak inside, they set up such a fierce unearthly groan, that even Mrs. Thornton ...

It was impossible to say to what extreme of violence a multitude so infuriated would not go to get their prey.

There was one building in the city, which the guardians of the law evidently agreed could resist the rage of the ...
