Princes come from afar with their gorgeous retinues and stately equipages, and go down into the bathing-places calling on the names of their gods as trustingly as the poor doomed leper who thinks that the waters of Mother Gunga may bring the hoped-for healing of his body.
"Of course you'll want to ride out West," she said. "They all do in pictures. Come on out to the barn, and we'll get the ponies out." A stable boy brought out a gentle, coal-black pony, and Betty mounted him trustingly. "Why, it's lovely!" cried Betty, enjoying the sensation to the full.

The pious entreaty, which wells so trustingly from the human heart in the hour of anguish, had pierced his soul like a dagger.

There he waited, with the note hid in his hand a long time, yet not a weary one, such visions of loveliness passed before his entranced gaze. At length SHE also passed lovely as the Diana whose dress she had copied not quite so perfectly as she had abjured her manners. She leaned trustingly on the arm of some one, but Leopold never even looked at him.
"Speak, speak quickly," said Amelia, breathlessly, and throwing her arms around the slender waist of her sister, she laid her head trustingly upon her shoulder. "Firstly, the Swedish ambassador has not made a formal demand for your hand; that probably proves that he will first examine and observe you closely, to see if you are suited to be the wife of the prince royal.
The pathos of the forlorn sabot laid trustingly by the chimney in expectation of the Santa Claus that was not, takes us fairly by the throat; there is nothing in Shakespeare that touches the heart more nearly.
