Fifteen minutes later, the train stopped and the man and woman got out. "Pity," said Renine, "that I don't know their names or where they're going. But I know where to find them. My dear, we have a new adventure before us." Hortense protested: "Oh, no, please, not yet!... Give me a little rest!... And oughtn't we to think of Genevieve?"
I have just heard from old Mr. Clare. Oh, Magdalen, if you have no pity on yourself, have some pity on me! The thought of you alone among strangers, the thought of you heart-broken under this dreadful blow, never leaves me for an instant. No words can tell how I feel for you!
Pity, from which we strive to free ourselves as from every painful affection, inclines us to benevolence or to assistance in the removal of the cause of the misery of others. Envy of those who are fortunate, and commiseration of those who are in trouble, are alike rooted in emulation. Man is by nature inclined to envy and malevolence.
We all know what that involved of self-sacrifice, of pain, of weariness, of utter self-oblivious devotion, of gentleness, of tenderness, of infinite pity, of love running over.

Pity! did you pity me when I would have been your willing slave, when I pleaded for the hope you have ruthlessly crushed?" "I did pity you; but I could not help you. I could not then, and I cannot now, give my hand where my heart is uninterested.
"I don't think it was you she disliked," said Raphael in wondering pity. "Only your office." "Then, by God, she was right!" cried the Russian hoarsely. "It was this this that made me the target of her scorn." He tore off his white tie madly as he spoke, threw it on the ground, and trampled upon it.
Henry informed her of this unkind reception of his efforts in her favour in as gentle terms as possible, for she excited his deepest compassion. Perhaps our own misfortunes are the cause of our pity for others, even more than their ills; and Henry's present sorrows had softened his heart to peculiar sympathy in woe.
In this horror, let us state, there was some pity, and even a certain surprise. This thief, this thief guilty of a second offence, had restored that deposit. And what a deposit! Six hundred thousand francs. He alone was in the secret of that deposit. He might have kept it all, he had restored it all. Moreover, he had himself revealed his situation. Nothing forced him to this.
