"May I see the Zanjero?" asked Rosa gravely. The Zanjero's wife, whose name in plain English was Mrs. Craig, led the two children into her husband's presence. Rosa, very pale with the thought of being in the presence of so great a man, told her story in trembling tones, and held out the key. The Zanjero took it, and looked at it curiously. "Will you forgive?" asked Rosa timorously.
"Begin by being seated," he said rather sharply, as if he meant to convey that he penetrated her sham diffidence. Ignoring his brusqueness, she dropped into one of the ornate rosewood chairs near the table. "It is such a delicate matter on which I have come," she began timorously, eying him for a sign of encouragement. "Now that I am here I wish I hadn't come it's so difficult for me to begin."
"It has sometimes even seemed to me that our Heavenly Father has a special objection to ladies," she had once timorously confessed to Tembarom. "I suppose it is because we are so much weaker than men, and so much more given to vanity and petty vices." He had caught her in his arms and actually hugged her that time.
But I think they sent rhetoricians, who could, allege of little grief, and speak pitiful, and truly I find your ears have been as pitiful in so timorously condemning me.

Frank blessed his new C.O. for his thoughtfulness and made a welcome meal while he watched his baggage being loaded on to one of the elephants. "Buth!" Frank's "boy" mounted timorously when the luggage had been strapped on to the pad.
Almost timorously he pulled the rope and listened with a tremor of excitement to the clanging of the bell deep within the building. And the long-forgotten sound brought the past before him with such a vivid sense of reality that he positively shivered. It was like the magic bell in the fairy-tale that rolls back the curtain of Time and summons the figures from the shadows of the dead.
For surely, at this time of day in the nineteenth century, there is nothing that an honest man should fear more timorously than getting and spending more than he deserves.
She fancied nor was it without horror that Beatrice's expression, seen aside and vanishing in a moment, had been depicted in her own face likewise, and flitted from it as timorously. "Am I, too, stained with guilt?" thought the poor girl, hiding her face in her hands. Not so, thank Heaven!
Instead of going up the left branch, which led to Jack's door, she took him to the right, where, at the head of the stairs, there was another door directly opposite his. As soon as he saw it he went forward quickly and turned the knob. It stuck; it was locked; and rather timorously he stepped back to meet Julia's searching look as she handed him a rusty old key.
The next room was the antechamber to the marquis's bedroom: timorously on tiptoe he stepped through it, fearful of waking the two young gentlemen for Scudamore's place had been easily supplied who waited upon his lordship. Opening the inner door as softly as he could, he crept in, and found the marquis fast asleep.
