Respect for age, even for parents, is lost with all other virtues, and humanity becomes not a brotherhood to be co-operated with for noble purposes, but a horde to be entrapped and cheated.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
He can recall the horde of turbulent and aggressive natives crowding round the waggon of which he was in sole charge, when during a whole day his life and the lives of the two "boys" seemed to hang upon a hair,-nights spent in lonely watches, in an insecure and semi-hostile land, expecting the spears of predatory savages in the treacherous darkness.
"The Luck of Gerard Ridgeley"
Bertram Mitford
It was hard all the same, as he felt himself hustled here and there by the fierce horde.
