The frightful force of this phrase was so terrifying, that M. de Meaux thought it worthy of being shown to Madame de Maintenon; and she, seeking only to crush M. de Cambrai with all the authorities possible, would insist upon this opinion of M. de La Trappe being printed. It may be imagined what triumphing there was on the one side, and what piercing cries on the other.
Pierce had no intention of surrendering his place, and now the satisfaction of triumphing over these crooks excited him. He continued to cover the walnut-shell while with his free hand he drew his own money from his pocket. He saw that the owner of the game was suffering extreme discomfort at this checkmate, and he enjoyed the situation.
"He would convert her and he likes triumphing. Oh! Cousin Isabel! look at that lamp!" An oil lamp in an inner drawing-room, placed to illuminate an easel portrait of Lady Lucy, was smoking atrociously.

His father caught him by the ear. "Answer me, have you been cheeky to her?" "Hm." Wolfgang nodded and laughed. And then he said, still triumphing in the remembrance: "It was only yesterday. I gave her a smack in the face. Why does she always say I've no right here?" The man did not tell anything of this to his wife; she would only have brooded over it.

The fleet, which would then be fifty or sixty strong, assured of triumphing over all the English forces if they should dare to face it, would return into the channel to cover the departure of the flotilla.
She took from them their human form and turned them into animals of characters resembling their own: of the huntress-heroine, triumphing in the blood of her lovers, she made a lioness, and of her lord and master a lion, and yoked them to her car, where they are still to be seen in all representations, in statuary or painting, of the goddess Cybele.
Then, with a sudden, longing triumphing over all: "I prefer to take the blame upon myself, but even then I hope some day you will find it possible to forgive me." "I shall never forget how much Lorraine loved you," was all the poor hope she gave him. "Will that make it possible for us to remain friends?" "Yes; I hope so."
