She suggested a good woman struggling through flames to achieve safety. When she played from Il Trovatore you did not think of a conservatory, but of a prison. She stopped after a time and the color swiftly receded from her cheeks. "I'm afraid I've been rather in earnest," she said apologetically. "I haven't played on a good piano for quite a long time."
"Little Æsop wants his reward." Gonzague thought he understood now. "True. What is your price?" The hunchback, more bowed than ever, with his hair more than ever huddled about his face, swayed his crippled body whimsically, and when he spoke he spoke, apologetically: "I am a man of strange fancies, highness."
The light keeper pulled at his beard; the latter was so thick as to make a handful, even for one of his hands. "Well," he said, somewhat apologetically, "you see, Martha, it's like this: IF you sold them Development shares of yours and I swan I can't think of anything else you own that would sell for just that money IF you sold 'em, I say, I'd like to know how you done it.

And then it struck me, to my whimsical dismay, that in the present precarious state of my finances, especially in view of my decision to abandon political journalism in favour of I knew not what occupation, I could not afford to order clothes largely from a fashionable tailor. "I shouldn't have mentioned it," said Lola apologetically, "but you're always so spick and span."
Miss Eliza sounded almost indulgent. "This silk one makes three new ones, counting your suit." "I know," Arethusa said, a trifle apologetically, as if she knew it was a strange request.

"Might I suggest," Graham said, "that Howells isn't out of the case yet? It would be worth looking into." "By all means," Robinson agreed. Rawlins coughed apologetically. "I asked them about that at the office. Howells was taken to his home in Boston to-day.

"Hannah said last night she didn't know whatever she'd do if it cried on the road home, so ma thought I'd better bring over these pies. They keep awful well, and the basket'll easy slip under the seat in the train. When our Wes was a baby there was nothing would quiet him like a piece o' lemon pie."

"Oh, Elsie," exclaimed Honora, apologetically, "I haven't read a word of it." Mrs. Shorter glanced at the pile of favours. "How was the dance?" she asked. "I was too tired to go.
