"Awaywith him!" are the natural utterances of angry citizens at a disturbedmeeting. A voyager, describing a terrible storm he had witnessed, wouldrise to some such climax as--"Crack went the ropes and down came themast. " Astonishment may be heard expressed in the phrase--"Never wasthere such a sight!" All of which... sentences are, it will be observed, constructed after the direct type. Again, every one knows that excitedpersons are given to figures of speech. The vituperation of the vulgarabounds with them: often, indeed, consists of little else. "Beast, ""brute, " "gallows rogue, " "cut-throat villain, " these, and other likemetaphors and metaphorical epithets, at once call to mind a streetquarrel.
