At times so beaten and blinded that he could scarcely stand or see, he would crawl to the bars of the cage and caress the soft hands that Nanette held in fearlessly to him. And then, after a little, Nanette began to bring the baby out with her, bundled up like a little Eskimo, and in his joy Miki whimpered and wagged his tail and grovelled in his worship before these two.
With a sound of love and misery impossible to describe, Zadok had leaped from the box and had grovelled at those dear feet, kissing the insensible hands and praying for those shut eyes to open.
And you do what you're told, or we'll put the screws on you see? We're after something here, and you've blown the whole game savvy? You've spilled the gravy understand?" In the darkness, Jimmie Dale smiled grimly. It was far more than he had dared to hope for they were playing into his hands! "But I don't know 'bout any game," grovelled Larry the Bat piteously.
"Now, then, young feller, call up the office!" she commanded. The man obeyed. Indeed few would have dared to resist. "Now get away and let the Missis talk to your boss. Tell him what we think of such doings, Missis." I, too, obeyed her. I stated the case in firm language. He apologized, he grovelled.
The preceding volumes of this work have been written in vain, if the reader has not obtained from irrefragable testimony the monarch's own especially a sufficient knowledge of that human fetish before which so much of contemporary humanity grovelled. The figure of Navarre is also one of the most familiar shapes in history.
In the presence of roast duck Thomas Henry became simply and merely a cat, swayed by all the savage instincts of his race. His dignity fell from him as a cloak. He clawed for roast duck, he grovelled for it. I believe he would have sold himself to the devil for roast duck. We accordingly avoided that particular dish: it was painful to see a cat's character so completely demoralised.
"My lord, my lord!" she gasped in shuddering horror now that at last she found him set upon the thing to which so often she had dared him. "Pity! Pity!" She grovelled and embraced his knees. "In the name of the Pitying the Pitiful be merciful upon the excesses to which my love for thee may have driven this poor tongue of mine. O my sweet lord! O father of Marzak!"
Their chance came on the night of the Harvest Home. In the darkness Kria crept close to Chêp, and, when the chant was at its loudest, he whispered in her ear that his dug-out lay ready by the river bank, and that he loved her. Together they stole out of the hut, unobserved by the Sâkai folk, who sang and grovelled in the darkness.
No doubt the Cub had been taken for some lawful prey, but a whiff set that right. She stood over him for an instant. He grovelled at her feet. The impulse to kill him or at least give him a shake died away. He had the smell of a young Cub.
And yet this Felix was little more than twelve years old, and his face was still the face of a child who knows nothing of either sorrow or sin or failure or remorse. Only in his large, gray-black eyes was there something not of the child something that spoke of an inheritance from many hearts, now ashes, which had aforetime grieved and joyed, and struggled and failed, and succeeded and grovelled.
