The lust of animalism and the determination to possess the woman he once desired, were the two channels, swept into which, he became ungovernable.

All clear judgment which he displayed in the management of his work, all foresight which he possessed to a degree in the arrangement of common, mundane affairs, were in such a moment cast out of him.

Brute instinct hugged him in its embrace.

He lost all sense of honour, who could in other matters be most honourable of all.

All sense of pity he left, to become the animal that scents its prey, and stretches limbs, strains heart to reach it.
