E. g., in The Man of Feeling (1771), where a father's anger melts to sorrow at the plight of his fallen daughter: “As he spoke these last words, his voice trembled in his throat; it was now lost in tears! He sat with his face half turned from Harley, as if he would have hid the sorrow which he felt. Harley was in the same attitude himself, he durst not meet Atkins’ eye with a tear; but gathering his stifled breath, “Let me entreat you Sir”, said he, “to hope better things” (Oxford English Novels edition, ed. Brian Vickers (Oxford, 1967), p. 173.
