for that peril was pride, And you falter. I plead for yourself, and another, For that gentle child without father or mother, To whom you are both. I plead, soldier of France, For your own nobler nature--and plead for Constance!" At the sound of that name he averted his head. "Constance! Ay, she enter'd MY lone life" (he said) "When its sun was long set; and hung over its night Her own starry childhood. I have but that light, In the midst of much darkness! Who names me but she With titles of love? And what rests there for me In the silence of age save the voice of that child?英文原著 · 《Lucile》
I am here to plead his cause with you. I plead not for his life, but for his character,--his immortal life; and so it becomes your cause wholly, and is not his in the least.

"Catriona," said I, "what that mistake was I do not care to know. I know but the one thing - that you went to Prestongrange and begged my life upon your knees. O, I ken well enough it was for your father that you went, but when you were there you pleaded for me also. It is a thing I cannot speak of. There are two things I cannot think of into myself: and the one is your good words when you called yourself my little friend, and the other that you pleaded for my life. Let us never speak more, we two, of pardon or offence."英文原著 · 《Catriona》
"Indeed, indeed, you are welcome," she said, very earnestly. In those sad days her heart was easily touched. She gave him her hand for the second time. He held it gently for a moment. Every day since they had parted she had been in his thoughts; she had become dearer to him than ever. He was too deeply affected to trust himself to answer. That silence pleaded for him as nothing had pleaded for him yet. In her secret self she remembered with wonder how she had received his confession in the school garden.英文原著 · 《I SAY NO》
