As she drove out into the open country, Darya Alexandrovna had a delightful sense of relief, and she felt tempted to ask the two men how they had liked being at Vronsky's, when suddenly the coachman, Philip, expressed himself unasked: "Rolling in wealth they may be, but three pots of oats was all they gave us. Everything cleared up till there wasn't a grain left by cockcrow. What are three pots?
"Antonio, they are the offerings of one who respects thy courage and honors thy nature." "Bought with his earnings?" "Can it be otherwise?

Do not tempt me beyond what I can bear."
Elizabeth knew that at that moment he did not want to caress her, but her hungry soul craved comfort beyond her power to control and she dug her face into his breast and sobbed there unasked. John's arms closed about her in a relaxed sort of way, and patting her head half-heartedly, he said again: "Come on, dear. Mother's out there getting supper alone."
The king convoked the senate when he pleased, and laid before it his questions; no senator might declare his opinion unasked, still less might the senate meet without being summoned, except in the single case of its meeting on occasion of a vacancy to settle the order of succession in the office of -interrex-.

"You are mad, Rose; consider her future happiness" "Oh, Helen! are you more happy than your humble cousin?"
"You are at the mercy of a stranger; you don't know that you are not engaging a drunkard or a thief." "Or you may be deceived by a false character," I added on my side. I seldom ventured, at domestic consultations, on giving my opinion unasked but the new groom represented a subject in which I felt a strong personal interest. In a certain sense, he was to be my groom.
Instead of pursuing his journey, he ran close up to the chaise and stopt it, having no doubt but his rider would embrace so fair an opportunity of exercising his calling. The clergyman seemed of the same opinion, produced his purse unasked, and assured the astonished lawyer that it was quite unnecessary to draw his pistol, as he did not intend to offer any resistance.
She would gladly have given Appenzelder also some token of her favour, but she could not have used any of his compositions the most famous of which was a dirge upon this occasion, and the blunt long-beard frankly admitted this, and declared unasked that he desired nothing better than to offer his Majesty, with the Benedictio, the first greeting of Netherland music.
