Sister has gone to bed; she's had a headache with the excitement, I think; but she says it's new bread. Come upstairs softly, my dear, and I'll tell you what it is! Who do you think has been here, drinking tea with us, too, in the most condescending manner? 'Lady Harriet? said Molly, suddenly enlightened by the word 'condescending. 'Yes. Why, how did you guess it?
But in a short time they forgot the distress from which they had been rescued, and began to consider their deliverer as a wretch of narrow capacity, who was growing great by works which he could not perform, and whom they overpaid by condescending to accept his bounties. Abouzaid heard their murmurs and dismissed them, and from that hour continued blind to colours, and deaf to panegyrick.
Josey himself was reticent, and beyond the fact that he held up his head with more dignity, and showed a touch of more conscious superiority in his demeanour, he did not give himself away by condescending to narrate any word of the lengthy interview that had taken place between himself and 'th' owld Squire's little gel. One remarkable thing was noticed by the villagers and commented upon, Miss Vancourt had now passed two Sundays in their midst, and had never once attended church.
He had also seen a great many other people in the presence of whom he was condescending, jovial, and witty. His amiability was proverbial. Now he was sitting with a gloomy face by the chimney.

She called Emma Miss Lindsay; so Emma felt obliged to call her Miss Palmer, though she longed to put her arms around her, as they sat upon the box, and call her Mary. All this time the company in the rear were talking in this way: "I suppose," said Fanny Brighton, "that this little chicky-dandy thinks she has done us a great favor, by condescending to ride in a wagon, and upon a box.
Your Majesty knows that, when they do any thing for the benefit of your service, I am never silent. Nevertheless, thus they are constituted. I hope, however, that this flurry will blow over, and that when your Majesty comes they will all be found to deserve rewards of merit." Of Egmont, especially, he often spoke in terms of vague, but somewhat condescending commendation.
John felt a condescending expansion and did not withdraw his arm even after the bridge was passed until he thought Miss Garnet was about to glance around at it, which she had no idea of doing. "I declare, Miss Garnet, I I wish " She turned her eyes to his handsome face lifted with venturesome diffidence and frowning against the blustering wind.
"He certainly hinted, that were it not for the idea of supplanting his brother, he would now, in consequence of his change of profession, be desirous that the word Rashleigh should fill up the blank in the dispensation, instead of the word Thorncliff." "Ay? indeed?" she replied "was he so very condescending?
