The unhappy Kardikiotes realised their utter helplessness, and saw that they, their wives and children, were completely at the mercy of their implacable enemy. They fell prostrate before the pacha, and with all the fervour which the utmost terror could inspire, implored him to grant them a generous pardon.
It might be supposed that the dangers of such an abuse of success would be recognised by the more thoughtful and enlightened among cultivated Germans; or, at least, that these would feel how painful is the comedy that is being enacted around them: for what in truth could more readily inspire pity than the sight of a cripple strutting like a cock before a mirror, and exchanging complacent glances with his reflection!
If I should be taken! What would become of me?" "No, no, Lily: don't take on so," said Dan, as he passed his arm around her waist a familiarity in which he had never before indulged, but which was done only as a father clasps his child to inspire her with more confidence, to assure her that she was in the care of one who was able and willing to save her from the dreadful fate that impended.

Are you not come here merely to humiliate me, to obtain an empty victory? If so, I forgive you; but you are in the wrong, for, believe me, enjoyment is sweeter far than vengeance."
"I believe this violet color is affecting me already," said Nyoda. "I never felt so depressed and melancholy." "It's the same way with me," said Gladys. "If there was only one bright spot to relieve the monotony," said Nyoda, "it wouldn't be so bad." "How about our middy ties?" asked Gladys. "They're bright red and ought to inspire courage."
Jack Winters had yet to go down to defeat since he took charge of outdoor sports in Chester, barring that one fight with Harmony in baseball. No doubt he had managed to inspire his players with some of his own indomitable energy and never-give-up spirit.
I shall take pains to bring to mind thy beautiful form overflowed with blood.

And when I have the rhymes, the thoughts and words will come of themselves. Rhymes, rhymes, these are the main things with poets!"
