Let me try to tell you will you?" she urged, pitifully. "It may be better if I tell some one if I don't keep it all to myself, and think, and think." She clasped her hands tight, with the old gesture he remembered when she was struggling for self-control, and waited a moment. Presently she began to speak in a low, hurried tone: "It began before you came.
The people who had crowded to the spot were also seized with pious awe, and followed the knight to whom Heaven had so distinctly showed its favour. Heinz himself only felt that something extraordinary had happened. The world had gained a new aspect. His life, which yesterday had appeared so immeasurably long, now seemed brief, pitifully brief.
When they return and find the ground flowing with honey, and plies of bleeding combs lying about, they apparently do not recognize the place, and their first instinct is to fall to and fill themselves; this done, their next thought is to carry it home, so they rise up slowly through the branches of the trees till they have attained an altitude that enables them to survey the scene, when they seem to say, "Why, THIS is home," and down they come again; beholding the wreck and ruins once more, they still thinking there is some mistake, and get up a second or a third time and then drop back pitifully as before.
Young Boyle would be able to express his preference in the matter then, and Slavens did not want to act as physician to him against his will. Governor Boyle was walking up and down like a sentry before the tent when Dr. Slavens came up. "He's asleep," said the father.

For her marriage had been one of romantic pity, born of the ignorance of her immaturity; and she was very young when she became the wife of Warfield Paige Celia's brother a gentle, sweet-tempered invalid, dreamy, romantic, and pitifully confident of life, the days of which were already numbered.
The baby was brought out a pitifully thin, but pretty child and Sophie nursed her little sister with much enjoyment. "I wisht she was twins," confessed the little girl. "It must be awful jolly to have twins in the family." "My soul, child!" groaned Mrs. Narnay. "Don't talk so reckless. One baby at a time is affliction enough as ye'll find out for yourself some day."
After that I don't care what you do." Moonlight fell upon the sardonic smile on the pitifully white face of the young man. "I'm to be personally conducted by the Queen of Huerfano. That's great. I certainly appreciate the honor." With the help of Dingwell he pulled himself to the saddle.
When the dessert was finished she quickly excused herself, while I removed Toddie to a secluded corner of the piazza, and favored him with a lecture which caused him to howl pitifully, and compelled me to caress him and undo all the good which my rebukes had done.
