The girl lay at Death's door, and her father and mother watched every breath she drew. One day, while she was in extremity, the Doctor went himself to the apothecary's for medicine. This medicine was his last hope and he desired to prepare it himself. As be came out of the store with it in his hand, Hyde looked at him with a steady imploration. He had evidently been waiting his exit.
His razor was arrested. Lifting his face, he encircled the watchers with a gaze at once of imploration and of command. As if he could see them. As if he could read his answer in the expressions of their faces. "Tell me one thing now. Is it that cachorra?" For the first time those men in the room made sounds. They shuffled their feet.
Yet she found herself making a queer distraught mask of her face and saying theatrically, "Oh, Mr. Hemming, please, please let this letter go ..." and, when he granted the favour, as she knew quite well he would have done to just half as much imploration, she went out of the shop breathing heavily and audibly. "Why am I like this?" she asked herself. "Ah, I see!
The voice of Agnes was heard in hasty and anxious imploration: "For pity's sake, say no more. Be silent. Am I not bowed and wretched enough?" She came hastily to the fissure of the door and looked in, because Duff Salter just then sneezed tremendously: "Jericho-o-o-o! Jer-ry-cho-o-o!" Podge Byerly reappeared with a pack of cards and shuffled them before Duff Salter's face.
If she had looked at him! Oh, if she had but once looked at his face, she could not have resisted its beauty, its sorrow, its imploration! But she would not look. She drew her hands angrily away from him. She turned her back upon her suppliant son and imperiously summoned Rachela. "Good-by, mi madre." "Good-by, mi madre!" She would not turn to him, or answer him a word.
"Glad to have your husband back once more, eh?" Virginia's start was followed quickly by an imploration from Molly. "Hush, hush, please don't speak of it!" "I certainly shall speak of it; I certainly shall. I came here for no other reason than that. And who would speak of it if I didn't?" Molly shivered. There was something about the man's low, modulated tones that repelled Virginia.
"That is, if I don't give you the reason why. Thar happens to be a reason. But befo' I git down to it, let me ask what this po' devil's done." The negro broke out with fresh imploration. "Ole marster, save me. I ain't nuthin' on dis big yearth dar ain't no way fur me ter be no count. De Lawd ain't gib me whut he has you folks.
She sat by him still, however, and poured out sentence after sentence of question, insistence, imploration, and pity, eliciting no answer at all. Phyllis wondered how it would feel to have to lie still and have that done to you for a term of years. The result of her wonderment was a decision to forgive her unenthusiastic future bridegroom for what she had at first been ready to slap him.
I am going back to the grave again." The Marquess stretched out his hand, as if to detain him; but, with a gesture, full of dignity and command, as well as imploration, the bent figure passed out. Four days after Mr. Clendon had rescued her from the Wolf, Celia, who had been listening daily for his footsteps, heard them on the stairs. She ran down, and caught the old man by the hand.
There is to be no pardon till I have dreed out the years appointed me in the gust and poverty of this dreadful place, among its hard, unfriendly men. My God! I am but thirty-three years old. How long wilt thou be angry with me? And the little lad! Pass me by, but oh, be merciful to him!" A great silence followed this imploration. The man was waiting.
