"You fellers hes done been staunch friends ter me and I've got ter crave yore forgiveness ef I hain't trusted ye full free from then start." She paused and added solicitously, "But ye sees, ye forewarned me erginst them real robbers an' Jase Mallows forewarned me erginst you. I 'lowed he war lyin' but I couldn't take no chances.

Well, if you must needs have one of them, take this which is the clean one." "It is the other I crave that which is red with his blood! Oh! joyful night when my lips have been wet with it! Now I can die in peace!" "We must go, Aylward," said Simon. "In another hour the dawn will have broken. In daytime a rat could not cross this island and pass unseen. Come, man, and at once!"

I could see he felt rather deeply his failure of the morning and that he was anxious to redeem himself. I wanted to give him the opportunity to do so, especially as the young men, unused to deprivations, were beginning to crave fresh meat as a relief from the salt pork.

Of this, however, I said nothing. There was at Auburn an old, abandoned cemetery. It was nearly in the heart of the town, yet by night it was as gruesome a place as the most dismal of human moods could crave. The railings about the plats were prostrate, decayed, or altogether gone. Many of the graves were sunken, from others grew sturdy pines, whose roots had committed unspeakable sin.

A great many authors have written about it, just as a great many authors have written about the satisfaction of being in love, but in the one, as in the other case, the essence of the thing escapes.

The grounds for my coming at all you will very well understand, and you will applaud me when I declare to you that I come to her penitent; to exculpate myself, certainly, but despising self-justification. I love my wife, Mr. Beltham.

Now, when Holmes had resolved coolly to weigh this woman, brain, heart, and flesh, to know how much of a hindrance she would be, he could only see her, with his artist's sense, as delicate a bloom of coloring as eye could crave, in one immovable posture, as he had seen her once in some masquerade or tableau vivant.

"No! I crave and hunger and am cold. Unless I warm myself unless I warm myself with anger and hatred!" "I wish it were not so!" "I had a friend.... I warm myself now in the hunt of a foe in his look when he sees me!" Gilian smote her hands together. "So Elspeth would have loved that! So the smothered God in you loves that!" "It is the God in me that will punish him!" "Is it is it, Glenfernie?"
