Ramon had wanted to join the Army; but every time he referred to what he called his vocation, his father would fly into a rage. "Do you think that is what I've worked for all these years?" He could remember the time when, as a poor clerk, he had been forced to fawn on his superiors and listen humbly, cringingly, to their reprimands.
They would have been personally more self-assured than we, far freer of cheap imitativeness of each other in manners and art, and hence more original in art; more clearly aware of what they really desired; not cringingly watchful of what was expected of them; less widely observant perhaps, more deeply thoughtful. Their artists would have produced less however, even though they felt more.
All my life I have loved you without even knowing you. All my life I—" "All my life I have loved you," she broke in cringingly. He laughed aloud. "The hell you have!" he cried out. "You have allowed me to hold you in my arms, to kiss you, to fondle you, and you have trembled with joy and passion,—and now you call it love! Love! You have never loved in your life and you never will.
I would give you warning, sir." He stood with his mean figure bent cringingly forward, and with his hat in his hand. "A warning, sir," he went ramblingly on. "Maybe a certain one has made me his enemy. Maybe I cut myself loose from his service. Maybe I would do him an ill turn. I can tell you a secret, sir." He lowered his voice and looked around, as if in fear of eavesdroppers.
Margaret put out a detaining hand. "Sit down for a minute, please," she said cringingly. "I want to explain?" "There is nothing whatever to explain," replied Annie. "I heard."

He was chained; but he carried his head erect and, though his countenance was pale and careworn, his spirit was not crushed. He bowed respectfully, but not cringingly, to the grand inquisitor, and bestowed a friendly nod of recognition upon the Jew.
When I got back to my inn, I found my brother there looking very uneasy at my absence at such an early hour. When I saw him I cried, "Rome or Paris, which is it to be?" "Rome," he replied, cringingly. "Wait in the antechamber. I will do your business for you." When I had finished I called him in, and found my other brother and his wife, who said they had come to ask me to give them a dinner.
Billy, bent on giving the Pilgrim a fair chance, waited another second; waited and saw fear creep into the bold eyes of the Pilgrim; waited and saw the inward cringing of the man. It was like striking a dog and waiting for the spring at your throat promised by his snarling defiance, and then seeing the fire go from his eyes as he grovels, cringingly confessing you his master, himself a cur.
"Your Excellency has promised me my life," said Trail cringingly, but with an inscrutable something that was not fear in his sinister green eyes. "An escort must be gotten together," said the Colonel, "and the day is far advanced. I advise keeping them here until the morning." "See that you keep them straitly then," said the Governor.
Through no matter what indignation and rage that possessed him, his lord's voice penetrated his consciousness, so that, cooling almost instantly, Michael's ears flattened, his bristling hair lay down, and his lips covered his fangs as he turned his head to look acknowledgment. "Come here, Killeny!" Michael obeyed not crouching cringingly, but trotting eagerly, gladly, to Steward's feet.
