"I've no aptitude myself for patronizing or toadying, and I don't particularly enjoy being patronized or toadied to." "Is that the beginning and end of social life in England?" Lady Blanchemain inquired, delicately sarcastic. "As I have seen it, yes," asseverated John.
Young Snaily did his exercises for him, and tried 'to know him at home; but Young Bull licked him in a fight of fifty-five minutes, and he was caned several times with great advantage for not sufficiently polishing his master Smith's shoes. Boys are not ALL toadies in the morning of life. But when he went to the University, crowds of toadies sprawled over him. The tutors toadied him.
How listless I am, turning from my sorrow to write of what to most girls would be a delight of that pathetic little figure, toadied and flattered, but keeping a good heart through it all; of his marked attentions, which I permit because they keep other men away; of his efforts to see me for the Van Dams' position isn't what I imagined it, and we are not invited to many houses where I could meet him; of Meg's rejoicings over a few of the cards we do receive.

I begged the foreman to put him back in the chuck team, but the cook kicked on account of his well-known laziness, so Turk and I continued to adorn the rear of the column.
And they stood, under similar orders, at all sorts of elections; and they turned out of their own seats, on the shortest notice and the most unreasonable terms, to let in other men; and they fetched and carried, and toadied and jobbed, and corrupted, and ate heaps of dirt, and were indefatigable in the public service.
The public hated and despised him; even his so-called friends and business associates toadied to him merely because they feared him. And this judge this father he had persecuted and ruined, what a better man and citizen he was, how much more worthy of a child's love and of the esteem of the world!
If there were children, the Roman law put certain limitations on the testator's powers, whether man or woman. That they had complete disposal of their property is proved furthermore by the numerous complaints in Roman authors about the sycophants who flattered and toadied the wealthy ladies with an eye to being remembered in their wills.
