"On entering the River Aux Sables, Wáwátam took a dog, tied its feet together, and threw it into the stream, uttering, at the same time, a long prayer, which he addressed to the Great Spirit, supplicating his blessing on the chase, and his aid in the support of the family, through the dangers of a long winter. Our 'lodge' was fifteen miles above the mouth of the stream.
Round the neck of a porcelain vase imagine a broad margin of the gray-white tufts peculiar to the sedum of the vineyards of Touraine, vague image of submissive forms; from this foundation come tendrils of the bind-weed with its silver bells, sprays of pink rest-barrow mingled with a few young shoots of oak-leaves, lustrous and magnificently colored; these creep forth prostrate, humble as the weeping-willow, timid and supplicating as prayer.
Among us I think there is nothing approaching it. Strange as some of these wailing and supplicating letters are, humble and even groveling as some of them are, and quaintly funny and confused as a goodly number of them are, there is still a pathos about them, as a rule, that checks the rising laugh and reproaches it. In the following letter "father" is not to be read literally.
"Look at me, monseigneur," he said, "Æsop the hunchback, but do not laugh while you look and damn me for an impossible gallant. Crooked and withered as I am, I have power to make women love me. Let me try. If I fail to win the girl, do what you please with her, and I will ask no more." Gonzague looked keenly at the bowed, supplicating figure. "Are you thinking of playing me false?" he murmured.
To him that disposeth his way aright; now this cannot be done without a constant supplicating at the throne of grace for more grace. This then is the reason why every new temptation that comes upon thee, so foils, so overcomes thee, that thou wilt need a new conversion to be recovered from under the power and guilt that cleaves to thee by its overshadowing of thee.
The cat approached Mother Michel, who had seated herself to chat awhile, and looking at her with supplicating eyes, pulled at the skirt of her robe, as if to say to her: "Come, let us go!" "Take care!" said the good creature, "you will tear my dress." Moumouth began again. "What is it? Do you want to get out of here?" asked Mother Michel. Moumouth made several affirmative capers in the air.
Swiftly came a change like the sudden smoothing out of the rushing waves of a hill-locked, wind-lashed lake. The face was again Ruth's face and Ruth's alone; the eyes were Ruth's eyes supplicating, adjuring. "Ruth!" Ventnor cried. "While you can hear am I not right?" She nodded vigorously, sternly; she was lost, hidden once more. "You see." He turned to us grimly.
Prove your heart; and, if you find that the sacrifice is too great, turn your face away from me, and I will quickly go my way will not complain, will think that it happens rightly, will love you my whole life long, and thank you for the pleasant hours which your love has granted to me." He had dropped from the divan upon his knee, and looked up to her with supplicating and anxious eyes.
"You know the old saying, 'Don't throw out your dirty wather until you get in fresh." "Ah, darlin', don't be cruel to me!" said Andy, in a supplicating tone. "I know I'm not desarvin' of you, but sure I did not make so bowld as to make up to you until I seen that nobody else would have you." "Nobody else have me!" exclaimed Matty, as her eyes flashed with anger.
Yes, I came to welcome you, and to entreat you to do this kind office for the most gifted and the most interesting of beings; and he looked up in her face with a supplicating glance. 'And you too, are you fearful, said Eva, in atone of tender reproach, 'that by his death you may lose your portion of the spoil?
