For an agonised moment he felt unequal to the occasion. He knew in a flash what arms portended among these foreign devils. But it was too late to do much to forestall it. One speeder load was gone, and the second was emptying fast.
When the door opened and Catherine saw her husband come in her young husband, to whom she had been married not yet four years with that indescribable look in the eyes which seemed to divine and confirm all those terrors which had been shaking her during her agonised waiting, there followed a moment between them which words cannot render.
Agonised by her apprehensions, the unhappy Countess at length resolved to throw herself at the feet of the King, where, with a humility which contrasted strangely with the unbending arrogance of her sister-in-law, Madame de Verneuil, she besought in the most touching terms that Henry would spare the life of her husband, and once more pardon his crime.
Inside, Peter Ruff, a little breathless, was leaning forward, tying his white cravat with the aid of the little polished mirror set in the middle of the dark green cushions. At his right hand was Lady Mary, watching his proceedings with an air of agonised impatience. "Let me tell you " she begged. "Kindly wait till I have tied this and put my studs in," Peter Ruff interrupted.
The boat had not pulled ten yards from the beach, when I heard a splash behind us, and simultaneous cries of horror from the boat's crew and those on shore; among which the agonised voice of the heartbroken father rose shrilly, as he exclaimed, "Josephine, my child!"
Will you kill it because you are good? Will you be brave, quixotic, but not pitiful?... No, no, no!" she had said, as his hand was upon the gate, "I will not go unless you promise that you will hide the truth, if you can." She had laid her hand upon his shoulder with an agonised impulse. "You will hide it for a girl who will cherish your memory her whole life long. Ah God bless you!"
Dea Flavia stood there for one moment at the window, paralysed with the dread of what she saw and of what she guessed, and even as a cry of horror died within her throat, Licinia, with grey hair flying loosely round her pale face, and hands held out before her with an agonised gesture of fear, came running into the room.
To me, at first, it meant the life of Carlotta, and then a blank in my newly ordered scheme of things. The curse of ineffectuality still pursued me. I had allotted to myself my humble task the development of the new generation in the form of Carlotta's boy, and even that small usefulness was I denied by Fate. A chill, a touch of croup, an agonised watching, and the tiny thing lay dead.
I am what I am." He hesitated, rigid, clenching and unclenching his hands then drew a deep, agonised breath: "I suppose you have meant to be just to me, I wish you might have dealt more mercifully with my mother. As for what you have done to me well if she was illegally my mother, I had rather be her illegitimate son than the son of any woman who ever lived within the law.
The theatres were closed and the churches were opened; above the rumblings and explosions of the agonised volcano could be heard the tolling of the bells.
