It's a clever and classy layout. Maggie, exactly what's your game?" "I'll not tell you!" "Who's that man that's coming here?" "I'll not tell you!" "Is he the sucker you're out to trim?" "I'll not tell you!" "You will tell me!" he cried dominantly. "And you're going to get out of all this! You hear me? It may look good to you now. But I tell you it has only one finish! And that's a rotten finish!"
Or on the contrary, a work may bear dominantly, even aggressively, the impress of the distinctive individuality of its creator, as with Carlyle's prose and Browning's poetry. Whistler seems at times to delight less in the beauty of his subject than in the exercise of his own power of refinement.
His graces were on the surface. There was no depth in him. "Aggy," he added humbly, when he should have been dominantly forceful, "it is only a question of a little time. You will get used to me." "Then," and the girl clutched at the chance of respite, "give me six months from to-day. It isn't very much to ask, Gregory." The man wrinkled his brows. "It's a great deal," he answered slowly.
Yet again, its presence in the passes dominantly thrusting forward, would have the effect of retaining the eastern tribes within their own borders, and hindering them from joining an offensive combination against the little force with which Roberts was to strike at Cabul.

"Men," he said slowly and distinctly, "for the present at least I'm master of this ranch, and when I give an order I expect to be obeyed." Again his eye went from face to face fearlessly, dominantly. "Does any other man doubt me?" Not a voice broke the stillness of the night. Only the restless movement of the impatient mustangs answered. "Very well, then, you heard what I said.
When you come to France, which you know is dominantly Catholic, you still find a large body of Protestants; but one wing of their great organization is virtually if not out and out Unitarian. And a few of the most noted preachers of the modern time in France have been Unitarians.
Six or seven years before he had left without any explanation as to where he was going, tired of or irritated by the routine of a home which for any genuine opportunity it offered him might as well never have existed.

"I tell you, I'm going to go straight, and I'm going to make a success of it! You'll see!" And then he added dominantly: "What's more, I'm going to make you go straight, too!" She made no attempt to free herself, but blazed up at him defiantly. "You'll make me do nothing. I'm going to be just what I said, and I'm going to make a success of it. Just wait I'll prove to you what I can do!
