This they attributed to the presence of the gorilla's skin; but when they saw Grandpa continue to dash wildly about the cabin, from their shoulders to the rear window, out of which he would take a quick look only to fly back to them and chatter wildly and coweringly, Paul thought he would see what could be the trouble. One glance was enough.
She took an involuntary step backward, encountered the chair she had just left, and sank into it coweringly. She sat there, looking up at him, fascinated. His hand, on the wing of the great chair, was shaking. So, too, was his voice. "Fanny, Katherine's not here." Fanny still looked up at him, wordlessly. "Katherine left here yesterday. She's in town."
'I'll never luik at it; I'll never mint at dreamin' o' 't, answered Shargar, coweringly. 'Gin she pits 't intil my moo', I'll spit it oot. But gin ye strive wi' me, Bob, I'll cut my throat I will; an' that'll be seen and heard tell o'. All this time, save during the alarm of Mrs.
Scudder, in a manner which brought such a severe rejoinder as quite humbled and abashed her, so that she coweringly took refuge under her former declaration, that, "to be sure, there couldn't be any man in the world better worthy of Mary than the Doctor," while still at her heart she was possessed with that troublesome preference for unworthy people which stands in the way of so many excellent things.
Not for the world! As he spoke, he shrank coweringly backwards, out of the room; his wavering, unquiet eyes fixed upon mine as long as we remained within view of each other: a moment afterwards, I heard him dart into his chamber, and bolt and double-lock the door. It was plain that lunacy, but partially subdued, had resumed its former mastery over the unfortunate gentleman.
"Speak," he said, as she coweringly hid her face, "speak to me, or I shall be turned to stone by one horrid thought. It is not before that symbol that thou kneelest in adoration; and my sense wanders, if it tell me that thy broken words expressed the worship of an apostate? In mercy, speak!" "Father!" began Leila; but her lips refused to utter more than that touching and holy word.
"Ay," returned Lord Andrew; "but the royal spirit keeps the beast in awe-see how coweringly that bold spirit now bows before it!" Wallace marked the impression his glance had made, but where he had struck, being unqilling to pierce also, he dispelled the thunder from his countenance, and once more looking on Sir Roger with a frank serenity.

Thrice the Duke sneezed, with a sound that was as the bursting of the dams of body and soul together; then sneezed again. Now was his will broken. He capitulated. In rushed shame and horror and hatred, pell-mell, to ravage him. What care now, what use, for deportment? He walked coweringly round and round his room, with frantic gestures, with head bowed. He shuffled and slunk.
