He fixed on him his dark and imploring eyes; and when the father dropped the hand, and, gently shaking his head, turned away, a deep and agonising groan was all that the audience heard from that heart in which the last iron of fate had entered. Passionately he kissed the brow, the cheeks, the lips of the hushed and angel face, and rose from the spot.
We fear we would but weaken the effect of the reader's more impressive conceptions, were we to attempt to describe the feelings of M'Intyre during the days of agonising suspense between the period of his comrade's arrestment and the judgment which followed.
How agonising were the moments that ensued! He did not return, and at last, feeling that he had met a terrable Death, I went down. I went through the fatal dining room to the pantrey and there found him not only alive, but putting on a plate some cold roast beef and two apples. "I thought we'd have a bite to eat," he said.
Graham pressed his hand to his heart with the sudden movement of one who feels there an agonising spasm his cheek, his very lips were bloodless.

Nearer and nearer she came, glanced carelessly at me who stood bare-headed in the sun's glare, was passing, and glanced again, hesitated for one agonising moment, and then, as our eyes met, shot out a kindly flash of remembrance, followed by the sweetest of little blushes.
On came the vessel flying before the gale, while the seas chased her as if they would fain overwhelm her. It was fearful to see her scud agonising to know that she was rushing to destruction.
