I know that Alice Tennant has been questioned already. Will you promise me something, Cassie?" "You look so imploring that I'd like to promise you anything; but what is it?" "Do take her part when the time comes. You are certain to be asked." "But I don't know her. How can I take her part?" "You can say oh, the kindest things.
It was fortunate for Carmel that her first experience of England should come in the spring and early summer. Had she arrived straight from sunny Sicily to face autumn rains or winter snows, I verily believe her courage would have failed, and she would have written an urgent and imploring appeal to be fetched home.
And I never thoroughly realized that till I met you." "And I live in loneliness, outside of it all, of everything almost." Lightly she answered: "With Mrs. Shiffney and others holding open the door, holding up the lamp, and imploring you to come in, to come right in as they say on the other side of the Atlantic." "You don't do that." "Do you wish me to?" "I don't know what I wish.
He wrote again to the bishop, expressing a hope that nothing further would be done in the matter of the hospital, till the consideration promised by his lordship had been given, and then sent off a warm appeal to his friend the master, imploring him to come to Plumstead and assist in driving the bishop into compliance.
I'm the cautious guy in this outfit, not you." Within twenty-four hours Clay heard some one pounding wildly on the outer door of the apartment and the voice of the cautious guy imploring haste. "Lemme in, Clay. Hurry! Hurry!" he shouted. Lindsay was at the door in four strides, but he did not need to see the stricken woe of his friend's face to guess what had occurred.

She was not disappointed.
Gertrude made an imploring gesture, the full meaning of which Daniel easily grasped. The baby began to cry, Eleanore tore herself away from Daniel’s embrace, arranged her hair, and hastened over to the cradle. Philippina opened the door to let the Councillor’s wife in. Just then a violent discussion was started in the hall. One could hear the voice of Jordan and that of some strange man.
One night he decamped, taking with him the few remaining valuables the miserable girl possessed. Belle had not communicated with Gus, or even permitted him to know her whereabouts. Now she wrote him a note, imploring him to come to her. He responded at once, and instantly made what arrangements he could for her comfort.
Such was our situation till day-break; every moment were heard the lamentable cries of the soldiers and sailors; they prepared themselves for death; they bid farewell to each other, imploring the protection of Heaven, and addressing fervent prayers to God: all made vows to him, notwithstanding the certainty that they should never be able to fulfil them. Dreadful situation!
Not that I mean to offer myself in flesh and blood: God forbid that I should join the imploring procession, even at a respectful distance! My pen is at your service. I prefer to be your historian, your literary maid half slave, half confidant; for then you will always welcome me. If I were a lover, I might some day be inopportune. That would not be pleasant.
