"I know for certain sure, Miss Mary. Has she, Jane?" appealing to another maid coming down the hall. "No," said Jane. "She hasn't been here for ever so many days." "Phronsie played around outside probably," said Jasper quickly; "anyway, she's home now. Come on, Polly. She'll run out to meet us." "Oh, Jasper! do you suppose she will?" cried Polly, unable to stifle an undefinable dread.
Caesar's speech recommended firmness, and caused scarcely any reaction. The note had been given by "Limpy," with his ingenuousness and his appealing quality, and by the doctor with the violence of his words. The next day the Governor's commissioner gave orders to close the school, and Dr. Ortigosa and San Roman were taken to jail.

The serious face of the man she loved so well rose before her blurred vision. She had been his his very own until she had sent off that fateful letter.

The Child held on her arm, droops his head, heavy with sleep, upon her arm in a babyish and appealing attitude curiously opposed to the dignity of the Child in Mantegna's group which hangs on the opposite wall.
Some tincture of the faculty is absolutely necessary to the carver who takes his subjects from birds or beasts, in order that he may perceive and seize the salient lines and characteristic forms, of which the key-note is often to be found in a faint touch of humor, and which, like the scent of a flower, adds charm by appealing to another sense.
How could she be so heartless when he was suffering? At first he could not speak. He looked from one to the other of his children silently, with appealing eyes; and he saw the utter wretchedness which was on George's face. George was ashamed to look at him and kept his eyes averted.
We may then make our choice of two things stop working; stop going, cease to move, to exist or gather at each successive effort whatever remains of habit, of conscience, of native force, and put it into effect till our work, which we have not dropped, drops us. Should Eugenio address these hard sayings to his appealing, his palpitating correspondents?
