The glass was set in heavy leaded panes, which were so engrained with the grime of centuries that we could discern nothing through them. 'We must search for the wizard's cell from below, I said. 'If we cannot discover it there we must return and break in from above. 'Yes, agreed Dick, 'it would be a pity to smash the roof in if we can find an entry below without causing damage.
Such the Romans were in the day when their dominion had not extended beyond the limits of Italy; and because they were such they were able to prosper under a constitution which to modern experience would promise only the most hopeless confusion. Morality thus engrained in the national character and grooved into habits of action creates strength, as nothing else creates it.
'But it was my own fault: for I ought to have known that these stage and platform women have what they are pleased to call Bohemianism so thoroughly engrained with their natures that they are no more constant to usage in their sentiments than they are in their way of living. Good Lord, to think she has caught old Mountclere!
He need fear no loss, for his wealth is so engrained in the very substance of his being that nothing can rob him of it but himself, and that whilst he lasts it will last with, because in, him.

That was a rather perturbed and unhappy night, and my progress thereafter was a somewhat slower and more laborious process. The habit of rising with the sun was now fairly engrained in me.
Not one of them, too, that did not jump with terror engrained by the bitter experience of hundreds of generations at her fiendish scream.
Fourthly, it requires many repeated impressions to fix a method firmly, but when it has been engrained into us we cease to have much recollection of the manner in which it came to be so, or indeed of any individual repetition, but sometimes a single impression if prolonged as well as profound, produces a lasting impression and is liable to return with sudden force, and then to go on returning to us at intervals.
Yet just now he grew distrustful, as though its fair seeming cloaked some subtle trickery and deceit.
