This tribal ancestress, as will be seen in the paragraph of the monograph dealing with ancestor-worship, is greatly reverenced, in fact, she may almost be said to be deified. The descendants of one ancestress of the clan, Ka Iawbei Tynrai, are called shi kur or one clan.
Easterby. Then I'm to dine with them, and that's the very last of it for me. There's no more croquet after this week." "I am thankful to hear it," said Julius, suppressing his distaste that the man he most reverenced, and the place which was his haven of rest, should be a mere lion for Bee and Conny, a slight pastime before the regimental band!
Many people wondered why a man like Uncle Zed was content to live in the country. The answer seemed to be found in a number of slips: "How peaceful comes the Sabbath, doubly blessed, In giving hope to faith, to labor rest. Most peaceful here: no city's noise obtains, And God seems reverenced more where silence reigns." Once Dorian had been called a "Clod hopper."

Kentigern is thenceforth believed to be virgin-born, and is reverenced as a miraculous being from his infancy. He goes to school to the mythic St. Serf, who calls him Mungo, or the Beloved; which name he bears in Glasgow until this day. His fellow-scholars envy his virtue and learning, and try to ruin him with their master. St. Serf has a pet robin, which is wont to sit and sing upon his shoulder.

So it was with this, in a word, that Mrs. Pendennis comforted herself on the death of her husband, whom, however, she always reverenced as the best, the most upright, wise, high-minded, accomplished, and awful of men. If the women did not make idols of us, and if they saw us as we see each other, would life be bearable, or could society go on?
She could not tamely bear his taunting manner, yet felt that it was out of her power to retort, for she still reverenced him. She was surprised when he came up to her, and said abruptly: "To-day I read an article in 'T 's Magazine' called the 'Inner Life, by 'Delta."
