The old man gazed into her face, at first wonderingly; then, with the instinct of old reverence and obedience, he handed the rapier to her, crossed his muscular arms over his broad breast, bowed his grisly head, and stood submissively before her. "You can return now safely," Dulcibel called out to the constables. They came in, at first a little warily.
I am ready to go now," upon which he did not seem at all so, but went submissively. "Who are those people, Lily?" asked Mrs. Elmore, as they walked towards Florian's for their after-dinner coffee. The Austrian band was playing in the centre of the Piazza, and the tall, blond German officers promenaded back and forth with dark Hungarian women, who looked each like a princess of her race.
It was now Heidi's turn to be a little put out, and she said, "My name is not miss, it is Heidi." "Quite so, but the same lady has ordered me to call you miss," explained Sebastian. "Has she? oh, then I must be called so," said Heidi submissively, for she had already noticed that whatever Fraulein Rottenmeier said was law. "Then now I have three names," she added with a sigh.
"You hateful, horrid, little liar!" Johnny accepted his punishment meekly in his heart gratefully. "I reckoned you'd laugh and not get mad," he said submissively. The girl turned, with tears of rage and vexation in her eyes, and walked away. Johnny followed at a humble distance.
"I mean harm to none," said he, almost submissively; "and if I am so unhappy as to scare with my presence the Lady Anne, I will retire, praying you, donzell, to see to her state, and lead her back to her chamber when it so pleases herself.

Harriet listened submissively, and said "it was very true it was just as Miss Woodhouse described it was not worth while to think about them and she would not think about them any longer" but no change of subject could avail, and the next half-hour saw her as anxious and restless about the Eltons as before. At last Emma attacked her on another ground.
Mortimer forgot that two horses were in his ball-room destroying his carpets; he forgot that hundreds of eyes were turned expectantly toward him, and, waiting for the moment when he would show the bold intruders to the door. He made a low bow to Clary and inquired almost submissively: "I am at your service, Miss Ellis." "I have to speak to you, Mr. Mortimer; the affair cannot be put off."
"Is it permitted to enter?" he asked, smiling blandly at the marchesa, as, leaning upon his stick, he made her a ceremonious bow. "Yes, Cesarino, yes, you may enter," she replied, stiffly. "I cannot very well send you away now but you deserve it." "Why, most distinguished lady?" again asked Trenta, submissively, closing the door, and advancing to where she sat.
