"the clean report of the gun and the last obscene squeal of the killed dwarf"
"Into it had crept this hunchback, himself one of natures freaks, whose abject acceptance of nature, like the whining prostrations of a heathen in front of an idol."
Neil
"Tall, thin, grey-haired with appearance of harsh meditation obviously false in a man who read no books and could only spell through a newspaper word by word"
Duror
"He had waited for over an hour there to see them pass. Every minute had been a purgatory of humiliation: it was as if he was in their service forced to wait upon them as upon his masters."
"While waiting, he had imagined them in the darkness missing their footing in the tall tree and coming crashing down through the sea of branches to lie dead on the ground."
"Duror was alone in his obsession."
"Since childhood Duror had been repelled by anything living that had an imperfection or deformaty or lack: a cat with three legs had roused a pity in others, in him an ungovernable disgust."
