Suddenly she made a weak rush across the room, her silk petticoat giving out a papery rustle, her frizzes vibrating like wire under her hat, crested with ostrich plumes. She danced up to Carroll and looked at him with indescribable piteousness of accusation. "Why couldn't you, if you had to cheat, cheat a man an' not a woman like me?" she demanded, in her high-pitched tremolo.
There was a great piteousness in his expression, and she felt through every nerve the humiliation and the moral weariness which oppressed him.
I never realized how unfair orthodox writers are to Judaism. But I do not abate one word of what I have ever said or written, except, of course, on questions of scholarship, which are always open to revision." "But what is to become of me of my conversion?" she said, with mock piteousness.
Very little practice is necessary and we men are such fools, we never know how it is done; we take all the pretty feigned piteousness for real grief, and torture ourselves to find methods of consolation for the feminine sorrows which have no root save in vanity and selfishness.
But Honoria's moment of piteousness was past. She had recovered all her habitual lazy and gallant grace when he came up with her. "No no," she said. "Hear me. I began this rather foolish conversation. I laid myself open to well to a snubbing. I got one, anyhow!" "In mercy don't rub it in!" Mr. Quayle murmured contritely. "But I did," Honoria returned.
She looked at his averted face with a blank piteousness which revealed all her secret. She would not have had him see it for worlds, but it was a relief just for a moment to rest her features in the sad cast which the muscles had grown tired in repressing.
"Break the seal!" she added, with childish eagerness. "He closed it up like that after I had read it." With reluctant hand, and a pained piteousness at my heart, I opened the packet. It was as she had said, a will drawn up in perfectly legal form, signed and witnessed, leaving everything UNCONDITIONALLY to "Nina, Countess Romani, of the Villa Romani, Naples."
With a meekness and piteousness of look not to be told, never to be forgotten, Lucy Grieve passed away. The very day after Lucy had been carried to her last rest in that most poetic of all graveyards which bends its grassy shape to the encircling Rotha and holds in trust the ashes of Wordsworth, David Grieve started for Paris. He had that morning received a telegram from Dora: 'Louie disappeared.
The piteousness of this young wife getting her happiness, all unknowingly, by self-imposed blindness of the inner soul, clutched at his heart. "Hold hard to that, Joyce," he said. "Hold fast to that. Let all the light in that you can upon your blessings, and as to other things, why, don't acknowledge them! You're on the right track, though how you've struck it so early in the game, beats me."
But in the eyes of Ruth was none of this sternly, coldly triumphant, indifferent to its piteousness as Norhala herself, she scanned the waste that less than an hour since had been a place of living beauty. I felt a shock of repulsion. After all, those who had been destroyed so ruthlessly could not ALL have been wholly evil.
