He had never seen a death; and the admiral's peculiar pallor intimated events proper to days of cold mist and a dripping stillness. How we go, was the question among his problems: if we are to go! his youthful frame insistingly added. The fog down a wet laurel-walk contracted his mind with the chilling of his blood, and he felt that he would have to see the thing if he was to believe in it.
And I had just got my fingers on the rounded pillar of the doorway, and the thunder was just dying to a grumble, when a hand seized the back of my neck as in a vice, and something hard, and round, and cold pressed itself insistingly into my right temple.
Her father did not let the occasion slip to speak insistingly as the world opined of Alvan and his baroness. He forced her to swallow the calumny, and draw away with her family against herself through strong disgust. Out of a state of fire Clotilde passed into solid frigidity. She had neither a throb nor a passion. Wishing seemed to her senseless as life was.
"It has the spirit of all the arms in the world, Little Miss oh, my Little Miss my dream woman come true!" She nestled again, with a sigh of old days ended. "You can't get any closer," I admonished. "Here!" she whispered insistingly, so that I felt the breath of it.
And still those eyes were fixed upon him. But this was no longer Reginald! It was all brain ... only brain ... a tremendous brain-machine ... infinitely complex ... infinitely strong. Not more than a mile away Ethel endeavoured to call to him through the night. The telephone rang, once, twice, thrice, insistingly. But Ernest heard it not.

Celia was trying not to smile with pleasure. "O Dodo, you must keep the cross yourself." "No, no, dear, no," said Dorothea, putting up her hand with careless deprecation. "Yes, indeed you must; it would suit you in your black dress, now," said Celia, insistingly. "You might wear that." "Not for the world, not for the world. A cross is the last thing I would wear as a trinket."
He stood up and went to Mary, and took her two hands in his, very gently, yet very firmly. "Mary," he said softly, yet with a strength of conviction, "you married me because you love me." The wife shuddered, but she strove to deny. "No," she said gravely, "no, I did not!" "And you love me now!" he went on insistingly. "No, no!" Mary's denial came like a cry for escape. "You love me now!"
My name is Henchard, ha'n't you replied to an advertisement for a corn-factor's manager that I put into the paper ha'n't you come here to see me about it?" "No," said the Scotchman, with some surprise. "Surely you are the man," went on Henchard insistingly, "who arranged to come and see me? Joshua, Joshua, Jipp Jopp what was his name?" "You're wrong!" said the young man.
