His father saw it too, for the hand that he had lifted entreatingly sank again, and his voice was tremulous as he spoke. "Ralph Ralph, my son!" he said. Still the man said nothing; but stood frozen, his face half-turned to the windows. "Ralph, my son," said the other again, "you know why we have come." "You have come to hinder my business." His voice was thin and metallic, as rigid as steel.
"You are very bold," replied the chief haughtily, "but very foolish. Yet I will say that Avatea shall not be sent away at least, for three days." "You had better accept these terms," whispered the teacher entreatingly. "If you persist in this mad defiance, you will be slain, and Avatea will be lost. Three days are worth having."
Why, if such a thing had happened to me, I should go round shouting it from the house-tops. I don't suppose he knew what he was doing, or else he didn't care; perfectly desperate. What fun!" Cornelia kept laughing, but Charmian stopped and waited a moment and listened. "Why, Cornelia!" she said remorsefully, entreatingly, but she remained the length of the room away.
Reine was conscious of having been too hard with him, and not wishing him to go away with such a grief in his heart, she sought to retain him by placing her hand upon his arm. "Come, Claudet," said she, entreatingly, "do not let us part in anger. It pains me to see you suffer, and I am sorry if I have said anything unkind to you. Give me your hand in good fellowship, will you?"
"Can you not do what he requests?" asked Brooke, in a trembling voice. "What! and marry them?" "Why not?" "It is impossible!" said Talbot, firmly. "Oh heavens!" moaned Brooke, in a tone of despair. "Oh, Brooke, do not talk like that!" said Talbot, entreatingly. "Have I not already said all that can be said?" "Well," said Brooke, "listen to reason for a moment. Only think what marriage is.
"You never 'ort to 'ave nothin' stronger than milk." "Ole my coat, cookie!" said Sam, his manner changing suddenly to an alarming sternness. "Don't be a fool, Sam!" said the cook entreatingly. "'Ole my coat!" repeated Sam, eyeing him haughtily. "You know you haven't got a coat on," said the cook appealingly. "Can't you see it's a jersey? You ain't so far gone as all that!"
Mother, do you hear?" She threw her beautiful head back entreatingly, and the pulses in her white throat throbbed under Saxham's eyes, and her slight hands were desperate in their clutch upon the arms that held her. "I want my share of the risk, whatever it is. I will have it! It is my right. I have tried to be good and patient, but I can't, I can't, I can't stand this any more!"
"I am a helpless fool!" she burst out; her face flushing crimson with mortification. "Don't let Oscar see me! I can't bear the thought of making myself ridiculous before him! He is coming here," she added, turning to me entreatingly. "Manage to make some excuse for his not seeing me till later in the day." She addressed herself again to Grosse. "Go on!" she said impatiently.
"Good-night!" replied Mrs Gilmour, Nellie echoing her aunt's adieu with a parting injunction of her own. "Pray be sure and bring back Dick to- morrow morning, Captain!" "Perhaps, too, you'll tell us then what you are going to do if we are good?" said Bob entreatingly, "though you would not to-night."
So long as I stood by her head she felt safe deluded creature and chewed the cud of sweet content; but the moment I left her side she seemed filled with apprehension, and followed me with her eyes, lowing softly and entreatingly till I returned. At last the money was counted out for her, and her rope surrendered to the hand of another.
