It appeared that the champion canoeist of Europe (as well as most other champions) was a Royal Nautical Sportsman. And if we would only wait until the Sunday, this infernal paddler would be so condescending as to accompany us on our next stage. Neither of us had the least desire to drive the coursers of the sun against Apollo.英文原著 · 《An Inland Voyage》
At the Wicket Gate pilgrim Feeble-mind met with nothing but the kindest and the most condescending entertainment. It was the gatekeepers way to become all things to all men. The gatekeeper's nature was all in his name; for he was all Goodwill together. No kind of pilgrim ever came wrong to Goodwill. He never found fault with any. Only let them knock and come in and he will see to all the rest. The way is full of all the gatekeeper's kind words and still kinder actions. Every several pilgrim has his wager with all the rest that no one ever got such kindness at the gate as he got.英文原著 · 《Bunyan Characters-2》

It was all very pleasant for Honey--and Bud ultimately won his point--Honey decided to extend her graciousness a little.英文原著 · 《Cow-Country》

He has the brute force, and his last word on any subject could always be his fist."英文原著 · 《Elizabeth and her German Garden》
