One of his greatest troubles was the impetuosity of the young man, the uncontrollable haste which he manifested to plunge into the excitement of life, without listening to the advice of his elders. After having with pain renounced all hope of making him a priest, his father found that he could not establish him in any occupation suitable to his rank and his fortune.
But now, safe from the clear-sighted glance of Tim's blue eyes, she let the mask slip from her and crouched against his door in uncontrollable agony of spirit. The sin which she had sinned in secret which, sometimes, she had almost come to believe was not a sin, so beautiful had been its fruit revealed itself to her now in all its naked ugliness.
The Marquis de Gemosac gave a curt laugh, which thrilled with a note of that fearful joy known to those who seek to control the uncontrollable. "At that time," he admitted, "it might be so. But not now. At that time there lived Louis XVIII and Charles X, and his sons, the Duc d'Angouleme and the Duc de Berri, who might reasonably be expected to have sons in their turn.
At first he remained silent, but after a few moments his blue eyes began to twinkle like stars in the firmament, and then, slapping his knees with both hands, he broke into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.

But her thoughts were uncontrollable, she was drawn continually to the edge of that precipice which hung over the waters whence they had dragged her, never knowing when the vertigo would seize her.

How savagely strong it all looked! what uncontrollable majesty lived in every line of the scene!
He seemed to be raising despairing hands to high Heaven, in token of helplessness. Above around everywhere, he looked for succor; found none. A glance from Henriette's doomed form to Louise's bitter anguish converts him into a maniac. Pierre shouts the words in a fury that is rapidly growing uncontrollable. Spectators for the first time notice his strange actions.
Dorian Gray glanced at the picture, and suddenly an uncontrollable feeling of hatred for Basil Hallward came over him, as though it had been suggested to him by the image on the canvas, whispered into his ear by those grinning lips. The mad passions of a hunted animal stirred within him, and he loathed the man who was seated at the table, more than in his whole life he had ever loathed anything.

"You nearly mastered the first elements of science, didn't you?" "Sir!" "A credit to your class!" "Hold your tongue, sir!" bellowed the captain again, as if his anger was uncontrollable. "Not I," said the professor.
A deer hotly pursued by a hound might rush into the barn-yard or into the open door of the barn in sheer desperation of uncontrollable terror. Then we should say the creature knew the farmer would protect it, and every woman who read the incident, and half the men, would believe that that thought was in the deer's mind.
