"I'm afraid you've had a dreadful hard time, livin' alone so long, an' tryin' to do for yourself," said Sylvia, pitifully. "I'm glad I have," replied Richard, grimly. He clasped Sylvia closer; her best bonnet was all crushed against his breast. He looked around over her head, as if searching for something. "Where's the sofa gone?" he asked. "I gave it to Rose for a weddin' present.
Poor brute! it has run out after a stick, I suppose, and the ice has given under it." "Poor little thing!" Alice exclaimed pitifully, "can't it get out? Do you think it will be drowned, Frank? Can nothing be done for it?"
Neither of them had ever seen so impressive a country church. When lifted from the donkey-cart the little heap of holly and other greenery looked pitifully small lying on the stone floor of the central aisle; and though everyone worked with a will, there wasn't very much to show for it when Mr. Tapster declared, in a cross tone, that it must be getting near tea-time.
And then they both began to weep most pitifully, while the captain could only look from the one to the other, and lay hold of himself by the coat collar.
"He's nothing but skin and bone!" said Martha. "It will take weeks to get him up again! And just look at his clothes! How ever did he come nigh such! They're fit only for a beggar! They must have knocked him down and stripped him! Look at his poor boots!" she said pitifully, taking up one of them, and stroking it with her hand. "He'll never recover it!" "He will," I said.
She was under a law, she changed, she suffered, she grew old, she died; and there was her place left empty. The not living things remain; but what counted, what gave rise to them, what made them all that they are, has pitifully disappeared, and the greater, the infinitely greater, thing was subject to a doom perpetually of change and at last of vanishing.
She started when she heard the light footsteps of her friend. "I am disturbing thee," said Nefert, about to retire. "No, stay," said Bent-Anat. "I thank the Gods that I have you, for my heart is sad pitifully sad." "I know where your thoughts were," said Nefert softly. "Well?" asked the princess. "With Pentaur."
She had only one sick glance for the scene before them; the fringe of watchers about the house, the village fire-company struggling and shouting over the pitifully inadequate hose, the shining singed timbers of Holly Court. A great funnel of heat swept up above the house, and the green under-leaves on the trees crackled and crisped.
Unselfishness could go no farther. She saw that, were he to marry her, his advancement in the Church would be almost impossible; for, while the very minor clergy sometimes married in spite of the papal bulls, matrimony was becoming a fatal bar to ecclesiastical promotion. And so Heloise pleaded pitifully, both with her uncle and with Abelard, that there should be no marriage.
He was benevolently martial, to the extent of paternal, in thinking his girl, of whom he deigned to think now as his countess, pardonably foolish. Woman for woman, she was of a pattern superior to the world's ordinary, and might run the world's elect a race. But she was pitifully woman-like in her increase of dissatisfaction with the more she got. Women are happier enslaved.
