Rawdon minor had made up his face for a tremendous howl the severity of the blow indeed authorized that indulgence; but just as he was going to begin, the father interposed. "For God's sake, Rawdy, don't wake Mamma," he cried. And the child, looking in a very hard and piteous way at his father, bit his lips, clenched his hands, and didn't cry a bit.
He went about fruitlessly endeavouring to instigate rebellion against Sir Gregory, that very Sir Gregory whom he had for many years all but worshipped. Poor Jones was, to tell the truth, in a piteous case. He told the Secretary flatly that he would not compete with a lot of boys fresh from school, and his friends began to think of removing his razors.
"I am going somewhere this way, I think. One cannot rest here, you know," she said, with a wan and most pathetic smile. "You and I have been too much in company the world is wide oh, misery, misery, how wide but you can go that way and I the other. No one will ask for me." Was the woman dropping into piteous insanity?
The behaviour of two of the youngest was really piteous while we were burying the body; they called upon their deceased father not to leave them, but to return to the tent, and tried to prevent the men from covering the corpse with earth, screaming in a terrible manner; the mother was obliged to take them away."
Not a sincere line in it, and not a character that invites respect; a book which is one long waste-pipe discharge of goody-goody puerilities and dreary moralities; a book which is full of pathos which revolts, and humor which grieves the heart.

"Please!" Sofia begged, piteous. "Oh, please!" "I am sorry, my dear." Victor closed tender hands over those which the girl had lifted in appeal.
A little return of confidence in Sir Lukin also refreshed her when she saw that the poor creature did honestly, in his shaggy rough male fashion, reverence and cling to the flower of souls he named as his wife. His piteous groans of self-accusation during the crisis haunted her, and made the conduct and nature of men a bewilderment to her still young understanding.
Over their heads, between the torch-sticks, through the smoke, sometimes in openings between the restless men, Ben-Hur caught momentary glimpses of the prisoner. Never had anything struck him as so piteous, so unfriended, so forsaken! Yet, he thought, the man could have defended himself he could have slain his enemies with a breath, but he would not.
Bolton returned, and made his way into the house with the assistance of the gardener through the kitchen. He found the two women sitting in the hall, each in the high-backed arm-chair, and his daughter with her baby in her arms, a most piteous sight, the two of them thus together. 'Papa, she said, as he came up into the hall from the kitchen, 'you are treating me badly, cruelly, unjustly.
It was piteous to see those weaker still, that lay more helpless than infants, the tears rolling mournfully from their eyes, unable to utter the inquiries that kept their white lips in constant motion, but gave out no sound.
