Never more will the South come back to be served and toadied to by them as of old; never more will they receive contemptuous patronage and dishonorable honors. It is all passed. Those who look deepest into this battle, and into the future, see a resistance, grim and terrible, to the death; and one which will call for the strictest and sternest watch and ward.
It was made up of lesser lights of like tastes and ambitions, who toadied to and imitated the tyrant simply to avoid the unpleasant necessities which the alternative involved.
I understand him now better than I did, but I have more reason to blame myself for having been toadied by such a man, than to find fault with him for paying court to me." The Wolf reached Portsmouth after a somewhat long voyage, and going into harbour, was at once paid off. Lord Reginald invited Dick to accompany him to Elverston.
I shouldn't have tried it only he didn't fight fair hitting me before I was ready, and kicking me when I was down." "You watch out that he doesn't play you foul," said Dale, who was present. "I'll keep my eyes open." It was soon whispered around the school how Andy had met and vanquished the bully, and as a consequence many of the fellows who had toadied to Ritter deserted him.
She did it, didn't she?" "Yes, because he was one of those beastly 'hims, to be toadied and cajoled and fussed into a good humour before his wife dare ask for a carriage for the baby that belongs to both of them." "Oh, I see! I see! I say, I'm stupid, aren't I?" "I'll forgive you your stupidity if you promise me never to marry and make any woman miserable." Rokeby became slightly nettled.

Persons who would, very likely, have passed Captain Stone on Fifth Avenue or Piccadilly without recognizing him now toadied to him as if he were a Czar, which, in a way, I suppose he is when afloat. His familiarity with us shed a sort of reflected glory upon Hephzy and me.

Gainsborough was never a tuft-hunter: he toadied to no man, and his swinging independence refused to see any special difference between himself and the sleek, titled nobility. He asked no favors of the Academy, no quarter from his rivals, no grants from royalty.
But there were facts in his career which his countrymen were bound to bear in mind, but which, on the contrary, they strove hard to forget, and sometimes to pervert. He had been the uncompromising defender of his native land in places where it cost reputation and regard to appear in that light. He was assailed largely by the men who had toadied to a hostile feeling which he himself had confronted.
Elizabeth's governess, Miss White called by Elizabeth, for reasons of her own, "Cherry-pie" had completely surrendered to his brown eyes; the men in the Maitland Works toadied to him; David Richie blustered, perhaps, but always gave in to him; in his own home, Harris, who was a cross between a butler and a maid-of-all-work, adored him to the point of letting him make candy on the kitchen stove probably the greatest expression of affection possible to the kitchen; in fact, little Elizabeth Ferguson was the only person in his world who did not knuckle down to this pleasant and lovable child.
But they delighted in generalizing rather than in detailed propositions; and had not probably, even in their own minds, realized any exact idea as to the means by which the results they desired were to be brought about.
