He suggested now, with an ingratiating whine in his voice, that he would like to see a man at Whoop-Up first. "Jes' a li'l' matter of business," he added by way of explanation. The constable guessed at his business. The man wanted to let his boss know what had taken place and to give him a chance to rescue him if he would. Beresford's duty was to find out who was back of this liquor running.
This was not ingratiating. The subsequent conduct of the strong under the yoke of the weak might have propitiated a she-bear with three cubs, one sickly.
I do not relish the possibility of her marrying one of those ingratiating, cold-hearted, and seemingly ardent noblemen." Then, as though to qualify his general statement, he continued, "My sister-in-law married a decent sort of a man, and I imagine they are happy but she'd have done much better if she had married your uncle. He never cared for any one else, and I hoped it would be a match.
Slim, elegant, his hair curled and waved, smooth-shaven and powdered and decked with strange orders, he had a sharp eye an ingratiating manner and spoke with a vaguely Italian accent, faintly suggestive of a renaissance Cardinal.
Markham, driving her Accomack pony, which somehow had survived a long period of war's dangers, nodded cheerily to him and threw him a warm and ingratiating smile. It was like a shaft of sunshine on a wintry day, and he responded so beamingly that she stopped by the sidewalk and suggested that he get into the carriage with her.
His name proved to be Scatters, and he was a most entertaining and ingratiating man.

Time had never been when Martha Ann Jackson was so flustered.
He had prepared himself to be ingratiating; but he realized that ingratiation was not a successful line to pursue with dragons. Instead of inquiring politely if Mrs. MacDonald were at home, he said bluntly, "I wish to see Mrs. MacDonald; I have business with her not my business, but hers. And you may tell her I am not The MacDonald of Dhrum, but a MacDonald from Dhrum, a very different thing."
He slid his arm, all for ingratiating, back into hers. "Come now, honey; you know you like me for my speed." She would not smile. "Honest, Charley, you're the limit." "But you like me just the same. Now don't you, Loo?" She looked at him sidewise. "You've been drinking, Charley." He felt of his face. "Not a drop, Loo. I need a shave, that's all." "Look at your stud loose."
Would the Signor Giovanni like to speak with Messer Jacopo, who chanced to be in the palace and alone? It was still early, and Giovanni thought that the opportunity was a good one for ingratiating himself with his future brother-in-law. He would go in, if he should not disturb Messer Jacopo.
"And didn't you notice several new sorts of wall-inscriptions?" "Yes," I admitted. "But if you don't mind, I'd like to skip sixteen or seventeen centuries and come down to you. I've been wanting a chat " "Why, I'm delighted!" she exclaimed, frightened, but all the more ingratiating. "Oh, isn't the Nile beautiful as we come toward Nubia?
