But Anne had a secret, cherishing eye on martyrdom, and it was intolerable to her to be reminded in this way that, after all, she was only a spiritual voluptuary. Still more intolerable was the large indulgence of her husband's manner. He seemed positively to pander to her curious passion, while preserving an attitude of superior purity. He multiplied her opportunities.
What eager snatches at mere words, and bald technics, irrespective of connection, principles of construction, Bible usages, or limitations of meaning by other passages and all to eke out such a sense as sanctifies existing usages, thus making God pander for lust. The words nahal and nahala, inherit and inheritance by no means necessarily signify articles of property.
"Shut up!" said his mates. "Don't carry on like an old woman." He was the next to be lifted on board, merely whimpering now in ineffable agony. After him came the man in the velvet jacket, who was maundering, Doctor Wilhelm, Max Pander, and the other two sailors. Lastly the little corpse of Siegfried Liebling was lifted from the boat.
The Symposium of Xenophon, in which Socrates describes himself as a pander, and also discourses of the difference between sensual and sentimental love, likewise offers several interesting points of comparison.
The rascally Goudar made them drunk, and in this state they told some terrible truths about their pretended father.

That General Trochu should pander to their vanity, by telling them that they are able to cope outside with the Prussians, is his affair. I do not blame him. He best knows how to deal with his fellow-countrymen. I am not, however, under the necessity of following his example. The usual stalls which appear at this season of the year have been erected on the Boulevards.
The ambassador, who felt that such a compliment would not be attempted with out means having been prepared to put it in execution, made no difficulty, and did not lose for a moment his address or his tranquillity. Then looking at him, he added, "He has been a pander all his life, and there are nothing but women's letters there." The Abbe Dubois burst out laughing, not daring to grow angry.
Carlyle, greatest of critics, the supreme lord of literature that Scottish Arcturus before whom even Shakespeare's glorious star pals its ineffectual fires awards the palm of correlated cussedness to Cagliostro; yet the "count" was merely a successful swindler and professional pander.
The belief in a divine protection did not give him or his lady wife that serenity it might have done, and they traveled fearfully, taking with them their own jaeger sheets among other precautions. They realized they must put up with the restaurant for meals, but at least the women folk should not pander to the customs of the place and wear evening dress.
