"I'm not ill," said Reginald, with a boldness he himself marvelled at, "but a little boy I love is very ill and I have no money to get him either food or lodging. I know you'll think I'm an impostor, ma'am, but could you, for pity's sake, give me a shilling? I couldn't pay you back, but I'd bless you always." "Dear, dear!" said the lady, "it's very sad just at Christmas-time, too.
"I wish you had a little child to love, Isabelle. It makes life so different. I am just wrapped up in Florimel." "For pity's sake, Marion," cried Isabelle peevishly, "don't you grow to be one of those tiresome women who think the whole world is interested in a baby's tooth! I certainly do not echo your wish. I think children are a nuisance." Marion caught up her baby in dismay.
"For near at hand there lay such countless woes, Such up-heaped horrors as no tongue can tell, Where helpless Pity's ineffectual throes Made that long shambles seem one ghastly hell, And all the broken, battered, blood-stained rows Of dead seem blessed in that they sleep so well; Where the soul sickened and the heart grew faint At scenes which Dante scarce had striven to paint."
"I am answered," he said. "I see I am right. Once more, Lady Kingsland," his voice cold and clear, "you refuse to tell me?" "I must. Oh, Everard, for pity's sake, trust me! I can not tell you I dare not!" "Enough, madame! Your accomplice shall!" He turned to go. She made a step between him and the door. "What are you going to do? Tell me, for I will know!"
I shall always re " She stopped short suddenly, her attention arrested by the scraping of chairs within the parlour, and concluded in a very different tone, "The girls are coming! For pity's sake don't let Tom find us sentimentalising here!
Your mother is dead, but she broke her heart for you, she never forgot your voice when you said for pity's sake, and she asks you now for pity's sake to forgive her. That's the message as you has to take to Lovedy, Cecile." "Yes, stepmother, I'll take her that message very faithful; very, very faithful, stepmother."
They were talking; my lady seemed dreadfully agitated, appealing to him as it appeared, while he was cool and indifferent. Just before we came away we saw her give him all the money in her purse. Ah, here she is now! For pity's sake, do not betray us, Sir Everard!" She flitted away like a swift, noiseless ghost, closely followed by the valet.
For a while he bore the presence of the ghost and his extraordinary behaviour with a certain amount of patience, then suddenly he lost his temper. "For pity's sake tell me what it is you want with me, and be done with it, can't you?" he cried angrily. The ghost immediately stopped his gesticulations, and spoke. "Ezekiel Grosse," said he, in a hollow, ghostly voice, "Ezekiel Grosse, follow me.
As he spoke he buckled on his sword belt, thrust his pistols in his pockets, Frank handing him the second, and took up his hat and the heavy cloak from where they lay. "Good-bye, darling. Frank knows how I can get a letter to you through him." "Yes, yes; but you are killing me, Robert; for pity's sake, fly!" "My own! Yes," he whispered, as he folded Lady Gowan in his arms again.
The ladies of Brookfield had almost as utterly cast off their garb of lofty reserve and inscrutable superiority. They were begging Mrs. Chump to be, for pity's sake, silent. They were arguing with the woman. They were remonstrating to such an extent as this, in reply to an infamous outburst: "No, no: indeed, Mrs. Chump, indeed!"
