To go on seeing all those people who had known him as a 'long-headed chap, an astute adviser after that no! The fastidiousness and pride which was so strangely, so inextricably blended in him with possessive obtuseness, revolted against the thought.
He sat there a long time dreaming his career, faithful to the scut of his possessive instinct, warming himself even with its failures. "To Let" the Forsyte age and way of life, when a man owned his soul, his investments, and his woman, without check or question. And now the State had, or would have, his investments, his woman had herself, and God knew who had his soul.
The manolas of Madrid, the cigaretas of Seville in their satin slippers are not better shod; mine pardon the anticipation of this possessive pronoun put forward from under the seat an irreproachable boot and aristocratically turned ankle.
John Thomas intended to remain a nocturnal presence; he had no idea of becoming an all-round individual to her. When she started to take an intelligent interest in him and his life and his character, he sheered off. He hated intelligent interest. And he knew that the only way to stop it was to avoid it. The possessive female was aroused in Annie. So he left her.

As he moved away Una reveled in having refused his half-hearted invitation, but already she was aware that she would regret it. She was shaken with woman's fiercely possessive clinging to love.

The drift is clearly toward the limitation, of possessive forms to animate nouns. All the possessive pronominal forms except its and, in part, their and theirs, are also animate.
His possessive instinct, subtle, less formal, more elastic since the War, kept all misgiving underground.
The waitress shook her head. "No, I don't want him to think I'm afraid of him. I'm not, either. I'll wait on him." June took Houck's order and presently served it. His opaque eyes watched her in the way she remembered of old. They were still bold and possessive, still curtained windows through which she glimpsed volcanic passion.
Here beside him in the cab was the very embodiment, the corporeal sum as it were, of the possessive instinct his own kinsman, too! It was uncanny and intolerable! 'But there's something more in it than that! he thought with a sick feeling. 'The dog, they say, returns to his vomit! The sight of her has reawakened something. Beauty! The devil's in it!
