"I will call the man out," he said, "but how dare we step over his threshold. Thou knowest such a proceeding will defile us." Nefert looked pleadingly at Bent-Anat, but the princess repeated her command. "Go before me; I have no fear of defilement." The Mohar still hesitated. "Wilt thou provoke the Gods? and defile thyself?"
Says Mr. Baring-Gould: "In the galleries of Rome, of Naples, Florence, Paris, one sees the beautiful face of Tiberius, with that intellectual brow and sensitive mouth, looking pleadingly at the passer-by, as though seeking for someone who would unlock the secret of his story and vindicate his much aspersed memory." For take that sixth century B.C. The world seems all well split up.
"Let them go," whispered Mrs. Hare, pleadingly. "I'm just as good a Confederate as you are, Jake, but don't let us have the blood of these fellows on our hands. That nice little chap with the dog I would as soon see my own son get into trouble, if I was lucky enough to have one, as that bright-eyed boy.
He had fallen on his flank, and every now and then would raise his head and look about him pleadingly, with a deep inhalation that sounded like a sigh. "Ah, how long we have to wait!" grumbled Lapoulle, who was suffering torment from his fierce appetite. "I'll go and kill him shall I?" But Loubet stopped him.
"I know so well," she said, "what a useless, frivolous, miserable sort of life mine has been, and I know so well that I haven't made the least attempt, Henry, to be a good wife to you. That wasn't altogether my fault, was it?" she asked pleadingly. "Do tell me that." "It was not your fault at all," he answered gravely. "It was part of our arrangement."
She seemed almost to have forgotten that he was there. He moved at last, bending nearer. "Olga!" he whispered. "Yes?" Still she did not turn. He slipped down to his knees beside her. "Olga!" he said again very pleadingly. She stirred then, stirred and looked him full in the eyes. And all his life Noel remembered the awful despair that looked out at him from her soul "I can't!" she said.
'Well, tell me the truth: do you think he can be constant to a woman? Does he get tired easily? Does he like change? Kate laid her hand on Montgomery's shoulder, and looked pleadingly in his face. 'Dick is an awful good fellow, and I'm sure he couldn't but behave well to anyone he liked not to say loved; and I know that he never cared for anybody as he does for you; he as much as told me.
"If that is a transformation, one is tempted to wonder what she was like before " "Don't!" Evie looked at him pleadingly. "Don't make fun of her, please, because we love her so dearly. Men don't appreciate Tom, and she doesn't show her best side to them, but she is a splendid girl, and the truest of friends. She was so kind to me to-day."
'Tis sufficient that I know it all, that henceforth we are strangers;" and he turned to leave the room, when Mrs. Deane, advancing towards him said pleadingly, "Is it thus, Nathaniel, that you return to us, after so many years? Eugenia may have been tempted to do wrong, but will you not forgive her for her father's sake?"
Very softly Peter came to her side. "My mem-sahib will rest?" he said wistfully. She looked at him. His faithful eyes besought her like the eyes of a dog. Their dumb adoration somehow made her want to cry. "If I could only stay to-night, Peter!" she said. "Mem-sahib," he urged very pleadingly, "the baba sleeps now. It may be he will want you to-morrow.
