"She is a modest maiden," replied Lysias, "and will not accompany me willingly, I am sure. When I proposed her for the part of Hebe I certainly supposed that a word from you, the king and queen, would suffice to induce the head of the temple to entrust her to you for a few hours of harmless amusement.
Margaret did not reply. She was thinking intently. "It would be a great feature for the club if we could induce her to give a reading," she said at length. "I don't suppose it would be possible," replied Annie. "You know they say she never does such things, and is very retiring. I read in the papers that she was, and that she refused even to speak a few words at the dinner given in her honour."
Weston received an invitation to spend a week or two in the country with some relatives, whom she had not seen for several years. Mr. Brunton persuaded her to accept it, as the change would be beneficial; and George, knowing how seldom his mother had an opportunity for recreation, added all his powers of argument to induce her to go.
How well I know, and how I hate and almost fear those haphazard walks through unknown streets; and this was the reason why, as nothing would induce me to undertake a tour in Italy by myself, I made up my mind to accompany my friend Paul Pavilly. You know Paul, and how woman is everything, the world, life itself, to him.

And this was not all. He would be suspected of the murder. He would be led not to the galleys but to the scaffold. "It would be useless for me to make any denial." Still his humanity was large enough to induce him to run the risk, and he would probably have called for assistance had he not at that moment heard the sound of wheels. It was the priest returning home.
He is no friend of ours, and the use upon him of a little torture might induce you to think better of the terms you deny. Lancelot grew pale, and he made as if he would speak, but Jensen delayed him with a wave of the arm. 'Pray let me conclude, Lieutenant Amber, he went on. 'Another man, having such a hostage, might use him pretty roughly. But I am not of that kidney. I want to fight fair.
Our ponies ambled on, unmindful; but Nick vowed that no woman under heaven would induce him to undertake such a journey again. Some three miles out of the city we descried two figures on horseback coming towards us, and quickly perceived that one was a gentleman, the other his black servant.
