In the enchanting world of Wind in Willows, she begged quite prettily to be allowed to spend the night there. The illustration by Arthur Rackham from Grimm's Fairy Tale, The Hut in the Forest, published in the late 19th century, captures her pleading gaze and delicate demeanor. Kirke's villainy and cruelty are depicted in an engraving where a young woman begs him desperately to save her brother's life. The intensity of her plea is palpable as she clings onto hope against all odds. Amidst the chaos of war, a colour lithograph portrays the new German barbarism through mass deportations of invaded France. Helpless civilians beg for mercy while their lives are uprooted and shattered. In another scene captured through an engraving titled "David and Abigail, " he fervently begs her to open the ball with him. His eyes filled with anticipation as he implores for this special moment together. Submission takes center stage in a colour lithograph depicting Russian mutineers begging Admiral Birilef, Minister of the Navy, for forgiveness. Their surrender marks both defeat and a desperate plea for clemency. A curious rat appears amidst Sabine women in another colourful lithograph.

His courteous nature and constant apologies create a curious scene that invites contemplation.
