Daniel also, though he did openly break the king's decree, and refused to stoop to his idolatrous and devilish demand; yet purged himself of both treason and sedition, and justifies his act as innocent and harmless, even in the sight of God.
Boru looked up and cocked one ear rakishly, as though he thoroughly enjoyed the joke. "Here, sir."

Phyllis slipped her hand under his collar and pulled him behind the high stoop that they were just passing.
Celsianus was affronted at the suggestion that he stoop to prescribe for a slave and incensed at having been called in haste for such a trifle: but Galen, who came in while Celsianus was expressing his indignation, diverted his mind at once by rejoicing that I was sufficiently recovered to take that much interest in one of my slaves.

"I want to help hunt whoever took our ice cream."
Although equally clever, I venture to flatter myself, in the art of manipulating speech, I could not stoop to such condescensions. You cannot easily divert when you have a heart and are sincere a man who deserts you, who does not even take the trouble to acknowledge it and excuse himself.
