I can only say that I pitied Miserrimus Dexter and that he found it out. "Thank you," he said, suddenly. "You see I am ill, and you feel for me. Dear and good Valeria!" "This lady's name, sir, is Mrs. Eustace Macallan," interposed Benjamin, speaking sternly behind him. "The next time you address her, remember, if you please, that you have no business with her Christian name."
She struck the web with her shuttle and rent it in pieces, she then touched the forehead of Arachne and made her feel her guilt and shame. She could not endure it and went and hanged herself. Minerva pitied her as she saw her suspended by a rope.
Eleanor turning from his tragic simplicity to Manisty's ill-concealed worry and impatience, pitied both. That poor Father Benecke should have brought his grief to Manisty, on this afternoon of all afternoons! It had been impossible to refuse to see him. He had come a pilgrimage from Rome and could not be turned away.
He fancied he loved those who pitied and caressed him; but, in reality, he lived apart, within himself, loving naught but his comfort, seeking by all possible means to increase his enjoyment. When the tender affection of Madame Raquin disgusted him, he plunged with delight into a stupid occupation that saved him from infusions and potions.
Go home to your plowing, Jasper, before it becomes harder, and you make a most interesting fool of yourself. So I went home, and I'm going to stop there, Ralph Lorimer, until the right man comes along. Then well, I'll wish Miss Aline the happiness I could never have given her."

They pitied the poor murdered servant-woman, but Denise, Tascheron's sister, who resisted the wiles of lawyers and did not give a single answer at the trial without long consideration of what she ought to say, excited the deepest interest.
'She will be a treasure to the man she marries, sir, said Mr Kenwigs, half aside; 'I think she'll marry above her station, Mr Lumbey. 'I shouldn't wonder at all, replied the doctor. 'You never see her dance, sir, did you? asked Mr Kenwigs. The doctor shook his head. 'Ay! said Mr Kenwigs, as though he pitied him from his heart, 'then you don't know what she's capable of.
You may be a thief, a murderer, and you will be pardoned if you are adroit enough to slip your head from the noose. Criminals are pitied and pardoned, unfortunates never. Ah, this is a mad, gay world, and they are fools who take it earnestly; who do not laugh laugh even as I do." The princess laughed aloud if that could be called a laugh, from which she shuddered back herself in terror.
If I had been seriously angry with him before for his grotesque extravagance, I could have pitied him now for the young girl's absolute unconsciousness of anything but his utter ludicrousness. The applause of dancers and bystanders was instantaneous and hearty; her only contribution to it was a slight parting of her thin red lips in a half-incredulous smile.
