No one but Tintoretto could have evoked the fiend in his 'Temptation of Christ. It is an indescribable hermaphroditic genius, the genius of carnal fascination, with outspread downy rose-plumed wings, and flaming bracelets on the full but sinewy arms, who kneels and lifts aloft great stones, smiling entreatingly to the sad, grey Christ seated beneath a rugged pent-house of the desert.
His wild brown eyes wilder than ever in the moonlight rested entreatingly, with a strange underlying expression of despair, on Naomi's face. His hands, clasped lightly in front of him, trembled incessantly. Little as I liked the man, he did really impress me as a pitiable object at that moment. "Do you mean that you want to speak to me to-night?" Naomi asked, in undisguised surprise.
"I rose and returned his garment, saying: "'Keep it, my boy; you need it more than I do. "'Non, my lieutenant, for you; me no need. Me hot, hot! "And he looked at me entreatingly. "'Come, obey orders. Keep your cape; I insist, I replied.

He comes to the door with a smile.
"Don't, pray don't, risk hardships which you are unfit to bear!" he went on, entreatingly. "Your place can be easily filled. Change your mind, Frank. Stay here with me." Again Wardour interfered. Again he called out, "Leave him alone!" more roughly than ever. Still deaf and blind to every consideration but one, Crayford pressed his entreaties on Frank.
Then darted through her mind the remembrance of Marylyn's midnight confidence. It was a blow on a wound. She glanced at her sister entreatingly. And what she fancied she read in the other's eyes instantly altered the desire to turn made her send the mules forward at a better pace. Marylyn was sitting stiffly upright, bracing herself with her hands. Her head was up, her look was eager and fixed.

She rose to her full stature, and like a prophetess exclaimed: "Eros, who brought you to each other, Zeus and Apollo defend and protect you.
And he added: "Don't be ashamed to tell the most beautiful truth in the world, my dear. Well?" She went red and white. She looked entreatingly into the Butterfly Man's face.
