Suddenly I drew aside the tulle from my face, dropped my bouquet, and stretched out my arms to the sunset. "I will lift up mine eyes to the hills Oh, Pan!" I said in a soft agony of supplication as I felt the crust around me begin a cosmic upheaval.
Will not your heart comprehend the greatness of this trial, and pity and excuse a momentary wavering, a yielding irresolution? Yet it was but momentary. An hour's solitude and deep reflection fortified my heart against the grief and supplication even of my mother. Next day she was more calm. She condescended to reason, to expostulate. She carefully shunned the mention of atrocious charges.
By the fortunes of Aeneas I swear, by that right hand mighty, whether tried in friendship or in warlike arms, many and many a people and nation scorn us not because we advance with hands proffering chaplets and words of supplication hath sought us for itself and desired our alliance; but yours is the land that heaven's high ordinance drove us forth to find.
Until the break of day Lilly lay tense there on her little cot, toes curled in, and still her mother did not return. Time and time again the moans rose to shrieks of dreadful supplication that set her to trembling so that her cot rattled against the baseboard. "Kill me! God! Put me out of it! Please! I can't suffer any more! Kill me, God! Kill me!" "Papa, I I'm scared."
