"Why, I'm sometimes called colonel," returned the hunter, dryly, still stroking the horse's neck; "but Daniel's the older title, and a little the most familiar one besides." "I crave pardon for my former rudeness, Colonel," said the other, advancing and offering his hand; "but you were a stranger to me you know."
When men are caught in immoralities, Nature will start, the conscience will arise To judgment; and if impudence doth recoil, Yet guilt, and self-condemnings will embroil The wretch concerned, in such unquietness Or shame, as will induce him to confess His fault, and pardon crave of God and man, Such men with ease therefore we conquer can.
Then aye, child, it is so, you will be the only creature that may help him; and if you really crave to create happiness if your love is as true as not so long ago you declared it to be, on your knees before me and with scalding tears, he, and not Master Peter must be the first on whom you should carry out your day-dreams for I know not what other name to give to such vain imaginings."
The longing to see Alison, always with me, was stronger than I was that morning. It might be that I would not see her again. I had nothing to say to her save one thing, and that, under the cloud that hung over me, I did not dare to say. But I wanted to see her, to touch her hand as only a lonely man can crave it, I wanted the comfort of her, the peace that lay in her presence.
The Hathors tortured him with an opportunity he dared not seize. How could he ask for Masanath? "I went to pray for that which all Egyptians crave at this hour the succor of Egypt," he said, instead. Meneptah signed his scribe to follow him to a seat near by. "Why may I not require of thee the services of a higher minister?" he began, after he had seated himself.
And how they would fly around when he wanted a basin of water, a gourd of the same, or a light for his pipe! but they would instantly insult a passenger if he so far forgot himself as to crave a favor at their hands.
The young, the adventurous, the admired how eagerly and how properly do they not crave for glory. Fame has about it a divine something as it were an echo of perfect worship and of perfect praise, which, though it is itself imperfect, may well deceive the young, the adventurous, and the admired.
Yet, only the night before, as they stood murmuring in the shade at her father's doorway, and he was begging for some little word, touch, token something to bid him hope in the hell of his despair, imploring her to see his engagement as he saw it a something entered into in his enfeebled condition because he saw, everybody saw, that fair young girl's self-betrayal, and he had mistaken gratitude, pity, tenderness for love, until he, Harold Willett, had met her, Evelyn Darrah, and at last learned what it was to love, passionately, overwhelmingly to love, to worship, to need, to crave, and then on a sudden she had felt herself seized in his clasp, and before she could, if she would, tear herself adrift, his lips, burning with eagerness, had sought and found hers upraised.
The language we habitually use is so broken, and so hackneyed by ages of conventional use, that, in all deep states of being, we crave one simple and primitive in its stead. Most persons make one more or less clear from looks, tones, and symbols: this woman, in the long leisure of her loneliness, and a mind bent upon itself, attempted to compose one of letters and words.
And as he was about to leave town for I knew not how long, I hope I was in the right in bidding the black ride after him, for I give you my word the business was most pressing for him.
