"Poor little tired heart," said Clemence, commiseratingly, "it is now at rest.
A mile he might manage, if he had to but ten! He rubbed Rambler's nose commiseratingly, straightened his forelock, told him over and over that it was a darned shame, anyway, and finally turned to pick up his saddle. He could not leave that lying on the prairie for inquisitive kit-foxes to chew into shoestrings, however much he might dread the forty-pound burden of it on his shoulders.
Chip was the only one, aside from the Old Man, who really understood.

Robert was kindly asked by the farmer to take a pipe among them. Rhoda put a chair for him, but he thanked them both, and said he could not neglect some work to be done in the fields. She thought that he feared pain from hearing Dahlia's name, and followed him with her eyes commiseratingly. "Does that young fellow attend to business?" said Anthony.
Mason, here, is a newspaper man; he scents a story for his paper. And the rest refuse to believe a word I say." "I'd hate to have a rep like that, Mr. Branciforte," Andy said commiseratingly, and turned his big, honest gray eyes to where stood the women two breezy young persons with sleeves rolled to tanned elbows and cowboy hats of the musical comedy brand.

I gave him a short sketch of my adventures, and had hardly concluded it by the time that we reached our destination. "Poor devil!" he said, commiseratingly, after he had listened to my misfortunes.
