I would have crawled to you upon my knees and groveled in the dirt and begged you to have mercy upon me; and afterwards when you lifted me up, I could have kissed the ground that you trod.
The door of the jail yielded to heavy blows of an ax. In the corner of a dim, bare room groveled Glidden, bound so that he had little use of his body. But he was terribly awake. When six men entered he asked, hoarsely: "What're you after?... What you mean?" They jerked him erect. They cut the bonds from his legs. They dragged him out into the light of breaking day.
He groveled on his forelegs, while his tail and hind legs continued to wiggle, and with a sniff he grabbed a bit of stick between his teeth. "Come on let me in," he urged. "I know how to play!" He tossed the stick in the air as if to prove what he was saying, and gave a little yap. Umisk and his brothers were like dummies. And then, of a sudden, someone saw Baree.

She called him the "Inimitable One," and set him up in her heart and groveled joyfully at his feet.

She couldn't! No one could! There is NOTHING as wicked as that!" Bat, even as she cried out, the overthrow was utter, and she threw herself forward on the arm of the couch and sobbed sobbed with the passion she had only known on the day long ago when she had crawled into the shrubs and groveled in the earth.
The two lay up until late in the afternoon and then took up the journey once again a journey that was so frightful to Schneider because of his ignorance of its destination that he at times groveled at Tarzan's feet begging for an explanation and for mercy; but on and on in silence the ape-man went, prodding the failing Hun whenever the latter faltered.
