If you're any kind of a man a-tall you'd better shoot me right now. I'm gonna take her from you, an' you're goin' to tell her to go with me. Understand?" "He'll not tell me any such a thing," June protested. But her heart sank. She was not sure whether her husband would grovel. If he did if he did The jeering voice went on taunting its victim.
The whites, not so susceptible to abstract influence, still hesitated, drawing near to each other in growling consultation. Dolores gave them no sign, though she watched them keenly from under her lowered lashes. She gave her attention to the line of abject creatures who filed slowly past her, each one stopping to grovel in the dust at her feet and passing on.
In a few ordinary words the deputies of Appenzell said all that has since been said with infinite bombast: "We are convinced that mankind are born for order, but not for servitude that they must have magistrates whom they themselves elect, but not masters to grovel under."
And now in order to put yourself right, you expect that she shall come forward, and own herself to have been the cause of this misfortune. I tell you that she will not do it. I would not even ask her to do it; not for her sake, nor for your own." "I am then to go," said he, "and grovel in the dust before her feet." "There need be no grovelling. There need be no confessions." "How then?"
"I thought you would outgrow it." "I don't blame him," continued the girl, ignoring his interruption. "I am just getting back from forty-seven teas. Gabble, gabble, gabble. I don't blame him. We deserve it." "Then you have had nothing to eat?" "Almost. Only insignificant indigestibles." The white man glories in being salaamed, especially by an Oriental, who can grovel with a touch of art.
Are ye not ashamed to let him grovel on the ground?" "Go to; the bare ground is the best cure for his disorder. If you get sober in bed, it gives you a headache; but you leap up from the hard ground like a lark in spring. Eh, Ulric?" "He speaks sooth, young man," said Ulric warmly. "What, is the gentleman drunk?" The servants burst into a hoarse laugh at the simplicity of Gerard's question.
Alexander Nevski is remembered as the hero of the Neva and of the North; yet even he was finally compelled to grovel at the feet of the barbarians. Novgorod alone had stood erect, had paid no tribute and offered no homage to the Khan. At last, when its destruction was at hand, thirty-six years after the invasion, Nevski had the heroism to submit to the inevitable. He advised a surrender.
I'm always quite candid on the subject of my appearance," returned Darsie calmly. "On principle! Why should you speak the truth on every other subject, and humbug about that? When I've a plain fit I know it, and grovel accordingly, and when I'm nice I'm as pleased as Punch. I am nice to-day, thanks to you and Mason, and if other people admire me, why shouldn't I admire myself?
Everything has been aiding to drive you into these arms. My hour of triumph is at hand yield, then! Cast yourself at my feet, and grovel for pardon for mercy or assuredly I will spare you not!" Leander went down on all fours on the hearthrug. "Mercy!" he cried, feebly. "I've meant no offence. Only tell me what you want of me." "Why should I tell you again?
"Well," said she, after a pause, "if you despise my love, I must see what can be done with fear. You smile, but the day will come when you will come screaming to me for pardon. Yes, you will grovel on the ground before me, proud as you are, and you will curse the day that ever you turned me from your best friend into your most bitter enemy. Have a care, Professor Gilroy!"
