But I repeat to you, I am charged with reclaiming it; and if you do not give it up " "Well?" "He has, then, charged me to take it from you." "How! What do you say?" "That my orders go far, madame; and that I am authorized to seek for the suspected paper, even on the person of your Majesty." "What horror!" cried the queen. "Be kind enough, then, madame, to act more compliantly."
She suggested the Commander of the Faithful, the Lord Haroun, who likewise had a turn for buffooneries to serve a purpose, and could direct them loftily and sovereignty. 'No: Everard Romfrey's a Northerner from the feet up, said Beauchamp. Cecilia compliantly offered him a sketch of the Scandinavian Troll: much nearer the mark, he thought, and exclaimed: 'Baron Troll!
"Well," she said cheerily, "I don't believe in a man making a slave of himself, not to take a glass when he wants it just because he sometimes makes a beast of himself by taking more than he ought." "If you choose to think black is white, Ann, it will not make it that way." "That's true," she replied compliantly; "and you've got more call to know than I have, for I've never 'been there."
The result was to deepen his perplexity and cause him to regret that he had so compliantly countersigned an account which, every time he studied it in the light of his new wisdom, appeared to bristle with problems. Faithful to her promise, at the end of a week Rosalind presented herself at Maxfield. "Well, my child?" said the parent blandly, laying down his newspaper.
And she could do this without fretful regrets, without looking to the future. The spirit of her hatred extracted its own nourishment from things, like an organized creature. When foiled she became passive, and she enjoyed forced herself compliantly to enjoy her redoubled energy of hatred voluptuously, if ever a turn in events made wreck of her scheming.
There are two trees in the Sierra forests that are never blown down, so long as they continue in sound health. These are the Juniper and the Dwarf Pine of the summit peaks. Their stiff, crooked roots grip the storm-beaten ledges like eagles' claws, while their lithe, cord-like branches bend round compliantly, offering but slight holds for winds, however violent.

"They are sketching you," said Colville, and she sank compliantly into her seat again.
"Oh, yes," she answered compliantly. I then broke to her that Hugues's and I had provided a suit of boy's clothes which she might substitute for her present attire at his house, and so travel with less likelihood of attracting notice. To this she made no objection. She seemed, on leaving the chateau, to have resigned herself, almost languidly, to guidance.
It went against him to reel off compliantly the usual patriotic phrases that forced themselves on one's lips as though dictated by an outside power. For months he had carried about the defiant resolve not to utter the prescribed "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori," whatever the refusal might cost. Nothing was so repulsive to him as singing the praises of the sacrifice of one's life.
