The Mission House at Togiak stands forlornly on a wind-swept Alaskan spit, while huddled around it a swarm of dirt-covered "igloos" grovel in an ecstacy of abasement. Many natives crawled out of these and stared across the bay as down a gully came an Arctic caravan, men and dogs, black against, the deadly whiteness.
She fairly coloured with the attempt. "One must let the sense of all that I speak of well, all come. One must rather like it. I don't know but I suppose one must rather grovel." Mr. Longdon, though with visible reluctance, turned it over. "That's very fine but you're a woman." "Yes that must make a difference. But being a woman, in such a case, has then," Nanda went on, "its advantages."
Before the National Gallery was extended and rearranged, there was a little ``St Catherine'' by Pinturicchio that possessed my undivided affections. In those days she hung near the floor, so that those who would worship must grovel; and little I grudged it.
He came up the last of a number who presented themselves for the Archiepiscopal blessing, as Wolsey sat under a large tree in Cawood Park. Wolsey gave it with his raised fingers, without special heed, but therewith Hal threw himself on the ground, kissed his feet, and cried, "My lord, my dear lord, your pardon." "What hast done, fellow?

Nothing remained but to strip oneself bare of all pride and dignity and grovel in the dust before the great unknown, a humble, will-less slave, completely at its mercy. While on the Roland, time had crawled at a snail's pace, the hour hand of the clock on the Hamburg travelled twice around its face with surprising rapidity.
And I've heard that that's what they're doing elsewhere." "But we shall never in this life be unanimous about anything whatever," said an old stonemason sadly. "If one of the gentlemen only scratches our neck a bit, then we all grovel at his feet, and let ourselves be set on to one of our own chaps. If we were all like the 'Great Power, then things might have turned out different."
I shall come to grief at the bottom of some glacier; but, if I am to speak my mind, I would rather live for a couple of years among the heights, where there are no governments, nor excisemen, nor gamekeepers, nor procureurs du roi, than grovel in a marsh for a century. You are the only one that I shall be sorry to leave behind; all the rest of them bore me!
