Already from afar She seizes on me with her eye of fire, and flings Her fatal and unerring coil, whose magic folds With ever-tightening pressure, bind my feet and make Escape impossible! Howe'er my heart rebels, I am compelled to follow with my gaze that form Of dread! She comes! I will not passively await Her furious onset! Imploringly I'll clasp Her knees! I'll sue to her for life.
Lifting the latch and entering, Aspel found himself confronted by Tottie Bones in her native home. It was a very small, desolate, and dirty home, and barely rendered visible by a thin "dip" stuck into an empty pint-bottle. Tottie opened her large eyes wide with astonishment, then laid one of her dirty little fingers on her rosy lips and looked imploringly at her visitor.
Henrietta had written it again, and again had crept into his chamber and in whatever part of the house the magnate might now be found, he everywhere encountered this pale tremulous figure who pressing her hands together and without uttering a word gazed at him beseechingly, imploringly only they two knew why.

'And Mag knows nothing of all this? said Toole.
This the fellow executed with a single stroke of his sabre, while the wretched man, perhaps then dying of his wounds, uttered no word, but with eyes imploringly turned up towards heaven, received the fatal blow.26 The head was then borne aloft on a pike, and some were brutal enough to pluck out the grey hairs from the beard and set them in their caps, as grisly trophies of their victory.27 The fate of the day was now decided.
She raised her eyes to his eyes full of supplication. "I have thought of that, my darling, and if you love me a little, you will let me lend it to you." He replied abruptly, almost harshly: "No, indeed." She whispered imploringly: "Listen, there is something you can do without borrowing money.
Her voice came with visible effort. "It concerns Max," she said. Max neither moved nor spoke. He was looking very fixedly at Olga. There was something merciless in his attitude.
