Geoffrey was clutching pathetically for anything which he could understand or appeal to in this elusive person. "I love him," said Yaé, pirouetting on her white toes near the edge of the chasm, "and I love you and I love any man who is worth loving!" They returned to the lake in silence. Geoffrey's sermon was abortive. This girl was altogether outside the circle of his code of Good Form.
Under the light in the little drawing-room, he noticed that she looked pale and careworn, and her limpid, childlike eyes were veiled pathetically with deep, blue shadows. As he looked at her, however, a warm tint dyed her cheeks and her head drooped, while the little smile still lingered about her lips.
She herself had lost courage. When Cowperwood saw her she had been in the very human act of crying, and her eyes were red. "Well, well," he commented, on seeing her she was in moody gray in the bargain "you don't mean to tell me you're worrying about anything, are you?" "Oh, Mr. Cowperwood," she explained, pathetically, "I have had so much trouble since I saw you.

The white jalousies seem always closed, the grass on the lawns seems never cut, and the whole establishments have a pathetically deserted appearance to the passer-by. A feature of this part of the country can scarcely be believed without actually using one's eyes. It is the wooden chimney-stack, covered with oak shingles, that surmounts the roofs of most of the cottages.
You instinctively looked up to him; which was perhaps the reason why you remembered his conspicuously intellectual forehead and his pathetically fastidious nose, and forgot the vacillating mouth that drooped under a scanty, colourless moustache, hiding its weakness out of sight. Rickman had always looked up to him.
"In truth," he added, almost pathetically, "it is not wonderful that the whole nation should be ill-disposed towards me, for I certainly have done nothing to make them love me. At the same time, such language transmitted from Madrid does not increase their tenderness."
'Now, Maud, said he, pathetically, leaning back suddenly in his chair, with all his conscious beauty and misfortunes in his face, 'is not it hard lines? I thought the appeal was going to shape itself into an application for money; but it did not.
Initial text entry and proof-reading of this chapter were the work of volunteer Jill Thoren.
