He very justly observed, that the style was too supplicatory, and the representation too abject, and that he ought at least to have made him complain with "the dignity of a gentleman in distress." He declared that he would not write the paragraph in which he was to ask Lord Tyrconnel's pardon; for, "he despised his pardon, and therefore could not heartily, and would not hypocritically, ask it."
But, as it is, I must never touch it, never! She besought him, more pathetically and earnestly, with her little supplicatory hand, than she could have done in any words. 'I am disgraced enough, my Little Dorrit. I must not descend so low as that, and carry you so dear, so generous, so good down with me. GOD bless you, GOD reward you!
The lights at the altar burnt dimly in his eyes the loud antiphon and the supplicatory prayer fell upon a listless ear. His whole life was passing in review before him. He saw himself as he was when he first professed his faith, and felt the zeal and holy aspirations that filled him then.
By admonition from them to Vulcan, Ceres, and Proserpina, supplicatory sacrifices were made, and Juno propitiated by the matrons, first in the Capitol, then upon the nearest shore, where, by water drawn from the sea, the temple and image of the goddess were besprinkled; the ceremony of placing the goddess in her sacred chair, and her vigil, were celebrated by ladies who had husbands.

On Sunday, June 22, he writes, begging Dr. Johnson's assistance in framing a supplicatory letter to his Majesty. This letter was brought to Dr.
Try how she would, Grace could not resist the supplicatory mandate written in the face and manner of this man, and distressful resignation sat on her as she glided past him into the room brushing his coat with her elbow by reason of the narrowness. He followed her, shut the door which she somehow had hoped he would leave open and placing a chair for her, sat down.
"There'll be a great reckoning day soon, I fear. Then we'll meet again never doubt it. And now good bye good bye once more, old friend, and God be with you."
