He shook his head, which drooped on his long and gentle brown neck, sighed, and repeated dreamily: "She wants to be all alone." "We'll leave her alone for a little and go and look at the gold." Meanwhile within the house Mrs. Armine was calling impatiently for her maid. "For mercy's sake, undress me. I am a mass of dust, and looking perfectly dreadful.
"Oh for mercy's sake!" cried Elnora, staring at him. "I half believe it!" exulted Ammon. "Did you ever see one?" "Only in collections, and very seldom there." Elnora studied the black wings intently. "I surely believe that's Sappho," she marvelled. "The Bird Woman will be overjoyed." "We must get the cyanide jar quickly," said Philip. "I wouldn't lose her for anything.

In silence he took the hand which hung at her side. In silence he lifted it to his lips and kissed it, as her brother might have kissed it. She started, but she never looked up.
What a terrible thing is the power which human beings have of deceiving each other! Woe to any soul which trusts itself to any thing less than an organic integrity of nature, to which a lie is impossible! Mercy's letters disappointed Stephen. They were loving; but they were concise, sensible, sometimes merry, and always cheerful.
"For mercy's sake," said she, "I have got my hands full now; and when you are round, Miss Dotty, and have one of your good fits, it seems as if I should fly." "What do you mean by a good fit?" "Why, you have spells, child you know you do when butter wouldn't melt in your mouth." "Do I?" said Dotty. "I thought butter always melted in anybody's mouth.
"Have pity on me," said Mole, in abject terror. "Do as you please with me," whined the brigand, "only for mercy's sake don't fire again at such a poor wretch as I am." "Think of my helpless condition," said Mole. "I am done to death," said the brigand. "I have two wooden legs," gasped Mole. "Do what you will with me," cried the brigand, in despair, "only give me water a drop for mercy's sake."
"An thou hast appetite to run thy head against hard knocks, do it i' mercy's name! I for one will stand thee back while thou art taking thy raps." There was a spirit of drollery in Gascoyne's speech that rubbed against Myles's earnestness. "Out upon it!" cried he, his patience giving way. "Seest not that I am in serious earnest? Why then dost thou still jest like Mad Noll, my Lord's fool?
I will begin at the beginning, and you will see that I could not help it: that is For Mercy's sake don't look at me as if I were a criminal, or I won't say another word!" "Nonsense, Eleanor! I am not looking at you as if you were a criminal. Go on and tell me." "It is too late now," she said hastily: "I have been here so long already. I will see you to-morrow."
Pelham, for mercy's sake, tell me is he in the power of that villain Thornton? you need disguise nothing from me, I know all the fatal history."
