Due occhi incavati eran per lo più chinati a terra , ma talvolta sfolgoravano , con vivacità repentina ; come due cavalli bizzarri , condotti a mano da un cocchiere , col quale sanno , per esperienza , che non si può vincerla , pure fanno , di tempo in tempo , qualche sgambetto , che scontan subito , con una buona tirata di morso .(Manzoni-I Promessi sposi)<>

Que' ritrovati maestri , quelle belle malizie , con le quali sono avvezzi a vincere , che son diventate per loro quasi una seconda natura , e che , messe in opera a tempo , e condotte con la pacatezza d'animo , con la serenità di mente necessarie , fanno il colpo così bene e così nascostamente , e conosciute anche , dopo la riuscita , riscotono l'applauso universale ; i poverini quando sono alle strette , le adoprano in fretta , all'impazzata , senza garbo né grazia .(Manzoni-I Promessi sposi)<>

- E non sapete voi che il soffrire per la giustizia è il nostro vincere ? E se non sapete questo , che cosa predicate ? di che siete maestro ? qual è la buona nuova che annunziate a' poveri ? Chi pretende da voi che vinciate la forza con la forza ? Certo non vi sarà domandato , un giorno , se abbiate saputo fare stare a dovere i potenti ; che a questo non vi fu dato né missione , né modo .(Manzoni-I Promessi sposi)<>

Vi sarete umiliato di quel primo timore , perché era un effetto della vostra miseria ; avrete implorato la forza per vincerlo , per discacciarlo , perché era una tentazione: ma il timor santo e nobile per gli altri , per i vostri figliuoli , quello l'avrete ascoltato , quello non v'avrà dato pace , quello v'avrà eccitato , costretto , a pensare , a fare ciò che si potesse , per riparare al pericolo che lor sovrastava . . .Cosa v'ha ispirato il timore , l'amore ? Cosa avete fatto per loro ? Cosa avete pensato ?<>

Appena ebbe proferite queste parole , si morse la lingua ; s'accorse d'essersi lasciato troppo vincere dalla stizza , e disse tra sé: " ora vien la grandine " .(Manzoni-I Promessi sposi)<>

Eppure quella grandissima che godeva , non solo non bastò a vincere , in questo caso , l'opinion di quello che i poeti chiamavan volgo profano , e i capocomici , rispettabile pubblico ; ma non poté salvarlo dall'animosità e dagl'insulti di quella parte di esso che corre più facilmente da' giudizi alle dimostrazioni e ai fatti .(Manzoni-I Promessi sposi)<>

Certo il dottor Sarti, suo intimo amico fin dall'infanzia, aveva consigliato a Flavia di cangiar vita, di darsi un po' di svago, per vincere la depressione nervosa che tanti anni di chiusa, monotona esistenza le avevano cagionato.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
E a poco a poco era divenuta anche sorda come una pietra, la povera nonnina; aveva ottantacinque anni e non capiva piú niente: una balla di carne, che ansimava e si reggeva appena, pesante e traballante; e obbligava a cure, per cui ci voleva un'adorazione come la mia, a vincer la pena e il ribrezzo che costavano.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Ma che glien'importava, allora? Lavorava con tutto il cuore, per acquistarsi la benevolenza paterna di chi la ospitava, con una speranza segreta: che quelle sue cure amorose, cioè, quei suoi servizi senz'alcun compenso, dopo il sacrificio del padre, valessero a vincere l'opposizione che forse il barone avrebbe fatta al figliuolo maggiore, Riccardo, quando questi, come già le aveva promesso, gli avrebbe dichiarato l'amore che sentiva per lei.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Di Iduccia soltanto? Pareva veramente il promesso sposo di tutt'e quattro le Margheri; anzi, piú che di Iduccia, delle altre tre; perché Iduccia, vedendo cosí naturalmente partecipi le sorelle della soddisfazione, della gioja che avrebbero dovuto esser sue principalmente, s'irrigidiva in un contegno piuttosto riserbato, e faceva peggio; ché quelle, supponendo ch'ella non riuscisse ancora a vincere la prima, ingiusta antipatia per il Tempini, ritenevano che fosse loro dovere compensarlo di quella freddezza, opprimendolo di cure, d'amorevolezze, cosí che egli non se n'accorgesse.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Era allora saltato dal letto e, in un attimo, entro di sé, la tremenda lotta di tutte le energie vitali contro l'idea della morte; prima, l'orrore di essa; poi la necessità e il sorgere d'un sentimento atroce, oscuro, a vincere ogni ripugnanza e ogni altro sentimento.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Ma dalla fretta con cui il signor Postella accolse questa spiegazione per vincere lo sbigottimento da cui tutti a quella vista fummo invasi, mi sorse all'improvviso il sospetto che, oscuramente, dalla prima impressione di quella tua cassa cosí gonfiata un rimorso gli fosse nato, che non al gas, ma a ben altro si dovesse attribuire la causa di quella tua enorme gonfiatura.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Ora aveva detto di sí allo zio, e certo avrebbe sentito un gran dolore, se il Cleen se ne fosse andato; sentiva orrore del tedio mortale in cui sarebbe ricaduta, sola sola, nella casa vuota e silenziosa; era perciò contenta che lo zio fosse ora con lei, di là, a pensare, a escogitare il modo di vincere, se fosse possibile, tutte le difficoltà che avevano fino allora tenuto sospeso il suo sentimento.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Ma si potevano vincere quelle difficoltà? Il Cleen, pur lí presente, le pareva tanto, tanto lontano: parlava una lingua ch'ella non intendeva; aveva nel cuore, negli occhi, un mondo remoto, ch'ella non indovinava neppure.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Prevedeva che tra breve tutti gli sguardi si sarebbero rivolti con simpatia al giornalista effimero, elegantissimo, e che nessuno piú avrebbe badato a lui; e si lasciava vincere a poco a poco dal malumore, al quale, senza bisogno, pareva facesse da mantice un certo signore che la Venanzi gli aveva messo alle costole: un signore arguto, calvo, di cui non ricordava piú il nome, ma che gli ricordava invece quello di tutti gli altri lí presenti, dicendo male di ciascuno.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

La signora Lèuca, che stentava ancora a riconoscerlo, cosí cangiato, cosí arrozzito e invecchiato dopo undici anni, avrebbe voluto accostarsi per sollevarlo da terra, ma non riusciva a vincere il ribrezzo e lo spavento, e si tirava indietro, invece, per non vederselo cosí davanti in ginocchio, e gemeva: - Ma no...(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Ha riconosciuto la signora Lèuca che molte delle opere di carità a cui attende sono anche un modo per lei di passare il tempo; fa, è vero, piú di quanto potrebbe; si stanca a salire e scendere tante scale e vince spesso con la volontà la stanchezza degli occhi e delle mani nel lavorare per i poveri fino a tarda notte; dà poi in beneficenza gran parte delle sue rendite, privandosi di cose che per lei non sarebbero al tutto superflue; ma un vero e proprio sacrifizio non può dire che l'abbia mai fatto, come sarebbe vincere quel disgusto, quel certo orrore che nasce dalla propria carne al pensiero d'un contatto insoffribile, o rischiar di rompere quell'armonia di vita raccolta in tanta lindura d'ordine.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Il solo sacrificio che lei può fare, è questo: vincere quest'orrore.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Perché anche in questo, ciò che lei fa per gli altri è assai meno di ciò che ha fatto per sé quando, tante volte, ha dovuto vincere l'orrore del suo stesso corpo, della sua stessa carne, per tutto ciò che nell'intimità si passa, anche senza volerlo, e che nessuno vuol confessare nemmeno a se stesso.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
Ancora, fermamente sostiene che no, non si sarebbe lasciata vincere neppure dalla previsione certa di questo rimorso.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
E infine, per giunta, si vede accusata anche lei, la signora Lèuca, d'aver fatto le cose a mezzo, sempre - s'intende - per il suo difetto di non saper vincere quella tale schifiltà naturale, che tante volte le ha impedito l'intero esercizio della carità, proprio di quella certa carità difficile, che pure questa volta lei stessa era andata a cercare.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

---------------
Bisognava ora vincere l'opposizione della madre.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>
---------------
La quale, perché fosse in tutto giusta, tanto aveva usato di crudeltà quanto di carità, punendo della sua superstizione quella madre col farle obbligo di vincere per amore del figlio lontano la ripugnanza che sentiva per quest'altro, il ribrezzo del seno da porgergli in bocca per nutrirlo; e non levandole poi del tutto la speranza di potere un giorno riavere il suo bambino, che intanto altri occhi, se non piú i suoi, seguitavano a vedere, sano e bello com'era.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Tra pochi mesi si sarebbe deciso il concorso a tre posti di assistente nell'ospedale maggiore della città, a cui egli aveva preso parte: era sicuro di vincere; sicurissimo; aveva poi qualcosa di suo e la professione di medico: poteva sposare.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Ma poteva confidar queste cose donna Angeletta Dinelli al commendator Federico Morozzi? LA CORONA Il dottor Cima si fermò all'entrata della villetta comunale, che sorgeva sul poggio all'uscita del paese; stette un pezzo a guardare il rustico cancello a una sola banda, sorretto da due pilastri non meno rustici, dietro ai quali si levavano tristi due cipressetti (tristi, quantunque attorno a loro ridessero in ghirlande qua e là, tra il cupo verde, alcune roselline rampicanti); guardò l'erto viale che dal cancello saliva al poggio, alla cui vetta stava tra gli alberi un chiosco che voleva sembrare una pagoda; e aspettò che il desiderio di farsi una giratina per sollievo in quella vecchia villetta quasi abbandonata riuscisse a vincere in lui la rilassatezza delle membra, che il tepore inebriante del primo sole gli aveva cagionato.(Pirandello - Novelle per un anno)<>

Una donna, passata i trentatré, ma pur bella, s’intendeva molto materialmente in me giovanetto che molto spiritualmente l’andavo considerando: e non m’accorgevo de’ suoi consumati ma pure schietti artifizi, né discernevo le tenerezze ch’ella mi scoccava tratte da’ libri, e volevo a forza adorarla com’angelo: e lei che prima posava la sua sulla mia mano, e mi si abbandonava in provocatrici attitudini, non capivo e con lunghissimi abbracciamenti, a me quasi puri, ferocemente la tormentavo e la rimandavo delusa, ma non disperata di vincermi, e maledicente in cuore i letterati matterugi e le meteore platoniche.

Una sera se n’andavano a passo lento in silenzio: la luna, ora leggermente velata, or tuffata nelle nuvole spesse, nuotava in esse; e pur nel vincerle, torbido aveva l’aspetto, e segnava ombre incerte, e tremolava quasi svogliata sull’acque: correndo per poco in un tratto di ciel puro, imbelliva, poi, rintorbidata, si perdeva nel fosco.

E che s’intendeva l’infelice di fare con questo biglietto? Vincere i riguardi dell’amica, affrettare il desiderio di lui, compiere un nuovo dovere, frapporre un nuovo ostacolo tra sé e l’uomo che quasi suo malgrado le piacque. (Tommaseo - Fede e bellezza)
---------------
Incerto in amore, quanto in altre cose sicuro, e’ voleva a ogni passo essere sostenuto, sospinto, rincontrato: e le donne che questo fanno, non sempre sono le più innamorate; perché chi fa questo, ha il tempo di pensare all’altrui debolezza e ai modi di vincerla. (Tommaseo - Fede e bellezza)

– Il patto d’alleanza? dopo che l’Austria l’ha strappato aggredendo? dopo che la Germania, impazzita, dichiara guerra a destra, guerra a sinistra, guerra finanche alle stelle, senza darcene avviso, senza tener conto delle nostre condizioni? Ignorante! imbecille! Che parola e parola! Combattere ai nostri danni? Ajutare l’Austria a vincere? noi? E le nostre terre irredente? E le nostre coste e le nostre isole, con la flotta inglese e francese contro di noi? Possiamo essere contro l’Inghilterra, noi? Ignorante! imbecille! –

Trasognato egli si volse, e guardò l'uomo: riconobbe l'ossatura della volontà temeraria, la biliosa faccia scarnita dall'ardore di vincere, la pupilla fulminea del predatore, quegli angoli vivi che parevano fatti per fendere come i conii la resistenza, quelle dure mascelle che per contrasto portavano la carne rossa della bocca come un frutto molle in una tenaglia d'acciaio (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)
---------------
Aveva quasi forzata la sua attenzione verso quella realtà, come per vincere l'indefinibile sentimento di assenza e di distanza ond'era occupata la profondità della sua vita. Egli rivedeva le chiostre della pagoda, le piscine gremite di torsi ignudi e di teste rase, il popolo d'iddii di dèmoni di nimostri scolpito nelle lunghe logge cupe, nei tabernacoli nelle nicchie nei pilastri, lordato dagli escrementi dei pipistrelli innumerevoli. Riudiva il mugghio dei buoi, il barrito degli elefanti che s'inginocchiavano nel loro fimo. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

L'Àrdea continuava la sua rotta, girava le mète nel decimoquinto giro. Il Latino era per ritogliere il primato al Barbaro. Nella calca efimera e indistinta le radici eterne della stirpe fremettero. Tutti i cuori furono alati per sostenere il volo eroico. Tutte le gole riverse gittarono al prode il suo nome come un soffio sonante che incitasse la rapidità. Gli comandarono di vincere. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

— Scusa. È un freddo nervoso. Non posso vincerlo. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

— Mi ami? mi ami? — chiese ella, chinandosi ancor più verso la gota scarna, assalita da uno sgomento subitaneo al pensiero di quell'altro amore che ardeva lassù, nella Città di vento e di macigno, e che poteva vincere il suo. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)
---------------
— Ti cuoce, quel che ti dico? Ti meravigli di ritrovarmi in questo aspetto? Ma non sono io l'opera tua? non sono la tua alunna? non m'hai fatta così tu stessa, alla tua scuola, per anni? Senz'accorgertene, senza badarci, m'hai riempita di scienza. Ma non credevi che questa scienza potesse un giorno diventare tanto amara e potesse ritorcersi contro te. L'ho tenuta nascosta, l'ho coperta di malinconia per non lasciarla trasparire, l'ho sopita col mio canto. Ora, a un tratto, lo vedi, mi diventa un veleno, mi diventa un'arme. Tu m'incalzi, mi serri, non mi dai quartiere, mi sei sopra come una nemica che non si contenta di vincere ma vuol martoriare, vuol profanare il corpo e l'anima con una tortura che sembra una libidine.... (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

Nel punto di montare in sella, egli aveva ordinato al palafreniere di trattenere Assra che voleva seguirlo. Certo essa era fuggita e aveva ritrovato le tracce. La cagna si avvicinava simulando il movimento flessuoso d'una piccola onda, per vincere la collera con la grazia; e l'onda aveva due dolci occhi di cortigiana cerchiati di bistro. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

— Non temo di mostrarvi la mia verità. A chi mi confesserò se non a colui che amo? Questo è un sacramento. «Che cosa hai tu fatto dell'anima tua?» E bisogna rispondere. Non si perdona a chi abbia vissuto invano. Io ho dato tutto. La mia anima disperata io l'ho sostenuta con la speranza, per l'amore dell'amore. Udite questo. La notte che seguì il vostro arrivo a Volterra, io e mia sorella fummo l'una di fronte all'altra, così come nostra madre ci fece, senza freno e senza maschera. Ella era smarrita, ella era atterrita dinanzi a quel che il mio cuore poteva. Tre volte, disse: «Fa dunque ch'egli t'ami». Era una sfida superba? La raccolsi? M'illusi di poter vincere? E che ho mai fatto io per vincere? di quali seduzioni mi sono armata? Udite questo ancóra. Quella notte, nel combattimento, ella mi domandò: «Credi tu che l'ami di più?» Io risposi: «Non di più. L'amo io sola». Avevo già guardato la morte, mi ero già inclinata verso l'abisso. E volli vivere. Non io volli vivere, ma il mio amore volle vivere in me. Non ero nata se non per portarlo.(D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)
---------------
— Potevo io vincere? Quella notte ella aveva detto: «L'amore più forte non è quello che vince?» Ah, non è vero. Ho dato tutto, per saper questo! Ella aveva detto a disfida: «Egli è folle di me.» Sì, una cosa torbida e trista vi rendeva folle, vi rende folle. Vi amavo io sola, vi amo io sola. Ma non avevate occhi per me, come ora; non per me, non per l'inganno.... (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

E il cuore gli tremò perché v'era rinata la volontà di vivere, la volontà di vivere per vincere. (D'Annunzio - Forse che sì forse che no)

* Con lo stordimento del loro profumo, che le aveva reso come di piombo la testa, si era a un tratto sentita vincere da una disperata stanchezza di tutte le cose della vita, nel tetro silenzio di quella casa schiacciata dall'incubo della morte. ( Pirandello - Il fu Mattia Pascal )<>

* Che colpa ho io se Pomino eseguì con troppa timidezza le mie prescrizioni? che colpa ho io se Romilda, invece d’innamorarsi di Pomino, s’innamorò di me, che pur le parlavo sempre di lui? che colpa, infine, se la perfidia di Marianna Dondi, vedova Pescatore, giunse fino a farmi credere ch’io con la mia arte, in poco tempo, fossi riuscito a vincere la diffidenza di lei e a fare anche un miracolo: quello di farla ridere più d’una volta, con le mie uscite balzane? Le vidi a poco a poco ceder le armi; mi vidi accolto bene; pensai che, con un giovanotto lì per casa, ricco (io mi credevo ancora ricco) e che dava non dubbii segni di essere innamorato della figlia, ella avesse finalmente smesso la sua iniqua idea, se pure le fosse mai passata per il capo.

* Credete non mi costi dolore il confessare cosi crudamente la debolezza e la finzione della vita ? Eppure sta cosi : perchè dovrei seguitare a imbrogliar me e gli altri ? Tante volte , invece di starmene chiuso nella mia stanza solo coi miei pensieri , mi son lasciato vincere da un momento di noia e sono scappato fuori , mi son fermato alle vetrine , ho seguito i lumi accesi sopra il mio capo , son montato sopra i trams scampanellanti e fuggenti , mi son seduto nei caff'è a guardar le figure di una borghesissima rivista tedesca ; ho cercato gli amici e ho fatto con loro non so quanti discorsi sciocchi , cattivi o spiritosi ; sono — 208 — andato a far delle visite , a bere il caffè in tazzine dorate , a ciarlare con signorine forestiere e con vecchie dame affettuose .

Vi pare che i pochi che vedono quattro spanne più in là di queste bestie fanciulle , e sanno la fine che ci aspetta se non sapremo vincer coraggiosamente il destino creando una vita più pura dinanzi alla minaccia del nulla , vi pare , dico , che costoro dovrebbero incoraggiare questa fanciullonaggine e baloccaggine degli uomini e tenerli qui fermi davanti ai teatri di fogUo dove si muovono i burattini dei sogni ad ascoltare le peripezie immaginarie di fantasmi immaginari ? Perchè aver tanta compassione fuor di posto per loro e adoprar tanto genio per addormentarli e trastullarli mentre tanto più bello e pericoloso sarebbe svegliarli a forza — 247 — d'urli , metterli in faccia al buio , farli spenzolare col capo giù nell'abisso e forzarli così a rialzarsi , a scoprirsi , a farsi più dolorosi ma più alti davanti all'universo che ora appena li sopporta .

* Speravo di domarlo ; contavo di vincerlo , di pigliarlo dalla parte dell'anima e insignorirmene senza neppur guardarlo , e ora si vendica : sento che la fine s'approssima e che questa impalcatura d'ossi lunghi imbottita di poca carne fa segno di sfasciarsi — di tornar fango sotto il fango .

---------------
Brother Tadger, let him come forth and greet us.<>

The old gentleman's countenance wore a mournfulexpression, as he shook his head gravely, and said, in warning accents--'I know'd what 'ud come o' this here mode o' doin' bisness.<>
---------------
I am wery much afeered,' muttered Sam to himself, as he turned away,'that somethin' queer's come over the governor, or he'd never ha' stoodthis so quiet.<>

To this, the other king (who was the weaker of the two) replied that hewas very much obliged to his friend and brother for all his goodnessand magnanimity, and that his daughter was quite ready to be married,whenever Prince Bladud liked to come and fetch her.<>

( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) '"Why," replied the peasant, "the foreign lady that our prince wishedto wed, is married to a foreign noble of her own country, and the kingproclaims the fact, and a great public festival besides; for now, ofcourse, Prince Bladud will come back and marry the lady his fatherchose, who they say is as beautiful as the noonday sun.<>

( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'You'll see some very handsome uniforms, Mr. Weller,' continued Mr. JohnSmauker; 'and perhaps you'll find some of the gentlemen rather high atfirst, you know, but they'll soon come round.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) The man in blue being a light-haired, stiff-necked, free and easy sortof footman, with a swaggering air and pert face, had attracted Mr.Weller's special attention at first, but when he began to come outin this way, Sam felt more than ever disposed to cultivate hisacquaintance; so he launched himself into the conversation at once, withcharacteristic independence.<>
---------------
'And s'posehe won't come back, Sir?' said Sam.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'You'll tell him,' said Mr. Pickwick, 'that if he does not come back tothis very house, with you, he will come back with me, for I will comeand fetch him.<>
---------------
Butcome in, come in!' Chattering in this way, Mr. Bob Sawyer pushed Mr.Winkle into the back room, where, amusing himself by boring littlecircular caverns in the chimney-piece with a red-hot poker, sat no lessa person than Mr. Benjamin Allen.<>
---------------
The water in the professionalpipkin having been made to boil, in course of time, by various littleshovelfuls of coal, which Mr. Bob Sawyer took out of a practicablewindow-seat, labelled 'Soda Water,' Mr. Winkle adulterated his brandy;and the conversation was becoming general, when it was interruptedby the entrance into the shop of a boy, in a sober gray livery and agold-laced hat, with a small covered basket under his arm, whom Mr. BobSawyer immediately hailed with, 'Tom, you vagabond, come here.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) The mirth of Mr. Bob Sawyer was rapidly ripening into the furious, Mr.Ben Allen was fast relapsing into the sentimental, and the punch hadwell-nigh disappeared altogether, when the boy hastily running in,announced that a young woman had just come over, to say that Sawyer lateNockemorf was wanted directly, a couple of streets off.<>

If I find it necessary tocarry you away, pick-a-back, o' course I shall leave it the least bito' time possible afore you; but allow me to express a hope as youwon't reduce me to extremities; in saying wich, I merely quote wot thenobleman said to the fractious pennywinkle, ven he vouldn't come outof his shell by means of a pin, and he conseqvently began to be afeeredthat he should be obliged to crack him in the parlour door.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'I thought it better to come myself,' said Mr. Pickwick, addressing Mr.Winkle, as Sam disencumbered him of his great-coat and travelling-shawl,'to ascertain, before I gave my consent to Sam's employment in thismatter, that you are quite in earnest and serious, with respect to thisyoung lady.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Why, how did you come here?' said Mary, when the conversation to whichthis interruption had been offered, was resumed.<>
---------------
Having been admitted into the garden by Mary, and havingreceived from that lady sundry admonitions concerning the safety of hislimbs and neck, Sam mounted into the pear-tree, to wait until Arabellashould come into sight.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Then come along, Sir,' said Sam, setting his master on his feet again.<>
---------------
I suppose you'll come over to my house.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) Mr. Pickwick, feeling not a little disgusted with this dialogue, as wellas with the air and manner of the two beings by whom it had been carriedon, was about to inquire whether he could not be accommodated with aprivate sitting-room, when two or three strangers of genteel appearanceentered, at sight of whom the boy threw his cigar into the fire, andwhispering to Mr. Price that they had come to 'make it all right' forhim, joined them at a table in the farther end of the room.<>
---------------
Namby is come home by this time, I dare say.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'If you'll come with me, I'll show it you at once,' said the man.<>

"Wot, ain't you come home yet, Tventy?" says the turnkey, "Ithought you wos in, long ago.<>

Having satisfiedhimself, by mathematical calculation, that the apartment was about equalin annual value to the freehold of a small street in the suburbs ofLondon, he took to wondering what possible temptation could have induceda dingy-looking fly that was crawling over his pantaloons, to come intoa close prison, when he had the choice of so many airy situations--acourse of meditation which led him to the irresistible conclusionthat the insect was insane.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'You know where the coffee-room is,' said Smangle; 'just run down,and tell that gentleman you've come to help him up with the jug.<>
---------------
Then knock him downstairs, and tell him notto presume to get up till I come and kick him,' rejoined Mr. Mivins;with this prompt advice that excellent gentleman again betook himself toslumber.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'I have come here in consequence of receiving this bit of paper,'rejoined Mr. Pickwick.<>
---------------
Lord! why didn't yousay at first that you was willing to come down handsome?'The matter was soon arranged, as the turnkey had foretold.<>
---------------
Now, pray, consider this room your own when youwant quiet, or when any of your friends come to see you.<>
---------------
There was a lean andhaggard woman, too--a prisoner's wife--who was watering, with greatsolicitude, the wretched stump of a dried-up, withered plant, which, itwas plain to see, could never send forth a green leaf again--too true anemblem, perhaps, of the office she had come there to discharge.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Have you seen Mr. Tupman and our other friends?Yes, I HAVE seen 'em, sir, and they're a-comin' to-morrow, and wos werymuch surprised to hear they warn't to come to-day,' replied Sam.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'You're quite right, Sam,' said Mr. Pickwick; 'but old men may come herethrough their own heedlessness and unsuspicion, and young men may bebrought here by the selfishness of those they serve.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) Now, the place where this discourse occurred was the public-house justopposite to the Insolvent Court; and the person with whom it was heldwas no other than the elder Mr. Weller, who had come there, to comfortand console a friend, whose petition to be discharged under the act,was to be that day heard, and whose attorney he was at that momentconsulting.<>
---------------
I told my clerkto come over and tell us when there was a chance.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'You're a dutiful and affectionate little boy, you are, ain't you,' saidMr. Weller, 'to come a-bonnetin' your father in his old age?How should I know who you wos?' responded the son.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'He goes in rayther raw, Sammy,' said Mr. Weller metaphorically, 'andhe'll come out, done so ex-ceedin' brown, that his most formiliarfriends won't know him.<>
---------------
I appealed; the case come on beforethree or four very sleepy gentlemen, who had heard it all before in theother court, where they're lawyers without work; the only differencebeing, that, there, they're called doctors, and in the other placedelegates, if you understand that; and they very dutifully confirmed thedecision of the old gentleman below.<>
---------------
Hear him come the four cats inthe wheel-barrow--four distinct cats, sir, I pledge you my honour.<>
---------------
What can that youngman be going to do?'He had sat ruminating about the matter for some time, when the voice ofRoker, the turnkey, demanded whether he might come in.<>
---------------
Wot's the matter? Who wants him? Hasan express come to say that his country house is afire?Somebody wants you in the hall,' said a man who was standing by.<>
---------------
Now, then, wot have yougot to say?Who do you think's come here with me, Samivel?' said Mr. Weller,drawing back a pace or two, pursing up his mouth, and extending hiseyebrows.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'They've come to have a little serious talk with you, Samivel,' saidMr. Weller, wiping his eyes.<>
---------------
Well, if that's wot it is,' said Sam, 'you'd better not try to come itagin.<>
---------------
(the old gentleman was seated in a corner);'Weller! Come forth.<>
---------------
Bardell's dead, or Mr.Dodson and Fogg's hung (wich last ewent I think is the most likely tohappen first, Sammy), and then let him come back and write a book aboutthe 'Merrikins as'll pay all his expenses and more, if he blows 'em upenough.<>
---------------
More than that, Mr. Weller; my master beingvery ill, he got us a room--we were in a kennel before--and paid forit, Sir; and come to look at us, at night, when nobody should know.<>
---------------
But after the cabriolet had dashed up, in splendid style, to thehouse with the yellow door, 'making,' as one of the vixenish ladiestriumphantly said, 'acterrally more noise than if one had come in one'sown carriage,' and after the driver had dismounted to assist the ladiesin getting out, the small round head of Master Thomas Bardell was thrustout of the one-pair window of a house with a red door, a few numbersoff.<>
---------------
Bardell announcedto him with a solemn face that he might come in now, but that he must bevery careful how he behaved towards his wife.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Oh, ask your friend to come here, Sir,' said Mrs.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Now, Lowten,' said little Mr. Perker, shutting the door,'what's thematter? No important letter come in a parcel, is there?No, Sir,' replied Lowten.<>
---------------
I have come here on purpose.<>
---------------
Why, mydear girl,' said Mr. Pickwick, 'how has all this come about? Come! Sitdown, and let me hear it all.<>
---------------
Didshe come back?No, she did not; she wrote,' replied the old lady.<>
---------------
Now depitty sawbones, bring out thewollatilly!'The latter observation was addressed to the boy in gray, who, havinghanded over the fly to the care of the street-keeper, had come back tosee what all the noise was about.<>
---------------
Indeed, when I come to think of the matter,gentlemen, I feel pretty sure she wouldn't, for she died when my unclewas two years and seven months old, and I think it's very likely that,even without the gravel, his top-boots would have puzzled the good ladynot a little; to say nothing of his jolly red face.<>
---------------
This roused my uncle more and more, and he resolved, come whatmight, to see the end of it.<>
---------------
" '"Well then, my dear, I'm afraidhe'll never come to the title," said my uncle, looking coolly at theyoung gentleman as he stood fixed up against the wall, in the cockchaferfashion that I have described.<>
---------------
Why, we have only come nineteen miles, andhave eighty-seven and a half to go.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Very sorry to leave you standing at the door, Sir,' said the girl,lighting a lamp, and addressing Mr. Pickwick with a winning smile, 'butyou was quite strangers to me; and we have such a many trampers thatonly come to see what they can lay their hands on, that really--There is not the least occasion for any apology, my dear,' said Mr.Pickwick good-humouredly.<>
---------------
"She smiled at this, Samivel,' said the old gentleman, stifling a sighwith his pipe, 'but she died arter all!Vell,' said Sam, venturing to offer a little homely consolation, afterthe lapse of three or four minutes, consumed by the old gentleman inslowly shaking his head from side to side, and solemnly smoking, 'vell,gov'nor, ve must all come to it, one day or another.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'How it ever come to that 'ere pass,' resumed the parent Weller, 'Ican't say.<>
---------------
With these words, Mr. Weller refilled and relighted his pipe, and oncemore summoning up a meditative expression of countenance, continued asfollows--'Therefore, my boy, as I do not see the adwisability o' stoppin hereto be married vether I vant to or not, and as at the same time I donot vish to separate myself from them interestin' members o' societyaltogether, I have come to the determination o' driving the Safety,and puttin' up vunce more at the Bell Savage, vich is my nat'ral bornelement, Sammy.<>
---------------
The rest will be inwested in my name,' continued the elder Mr. Weller;'and wen I'm took off the road, it'll come to you, so take care youdon't spend it all at vunst, my boy, and mind that no widder gets ainklin' o' your fortun', or you're done.<>
---------------
As Mr. Pickwick was further prompted to betake himself to Gray's InnSquare by an anxious desire to come to a pecuniary settlement with thekind-hearted little attorney without further delay, he made a hurriedbreakfast, and executed his intention so speedily, that ten o'clock hadnot struck when he reached Gray's Inn.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'I've come along, rather, I can tell you,' replied Lowten.<>
---------------
I've got myoffice coat on, and my pad out, and let him come as soon as he likes.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Do you think he will come round?' inquired Mr. Pickwick.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Where do you come from?' inquired the clerk.<>
---------------
You have not come up to London, of all places in the world, to tell usthat, my dear Sir, have you?' inquired Perker.<>
---------------
I say?Well?Are you going to come here regular?No,' rejoined Mary, shaking her head, 'I'm going away again to-night.<>
---------------
Why?Oh,' said the fat boy, in a tone of strong feeling; 'how we should haveenjoyed ourselves at meals, if you had been!I might come here sometimes, perhaps, to see you,' said Mary, plaitingthe table-cloth in assumed coyness, 'if you would do me a favour.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Let the ladies know we have come in.<>
---------------
Devoutly and ardently did Mr. Snodgrass wish that the ladies couldknow he had come in.<>

You'd better getyour out o' door clothes on, and come to town about this bisness, thanstand a-preachin' there about wot you don't understand nothin' on.<>

Idon't say it to flatter you, gentlemen, but there are not five other menin the world, that I'd have come out of that court for, to-day.<>

( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Sammy is a leg-at-ease,' replied Mr. Weller; 'these other gen'l'm'n isfriends o' mine, just come to see fair; a kind of umpires.<>

He has only just come home.<>

---------------
For vich reasons,' continued Sam, plucking nervously at the brim of hishat--'for vich reasons, he's drawn it out to-day, and come here vith meto say, leastvays to offer, or in other vords--To say this here,' said the elder Mr. Weller impatiently, 'that itain't o' no use to me.<>
---------------
( Dickens The Pickwick papers ) 'Perhaps not,' replied Mr. Pickwick; 'but as I have no intention oftrying any such experiments, I am not likely to come to want.<>
---------------
Vell,' said Mr. Weller, 'this here's a pretty sort o' thing to come toa father's ears, this is!I have observed them on several occasions,' said Mr. Pickwick, makingno comment on Mr. Weller's last remark; 'and entertain no doubt at allabout it.<>
---------------
If you vant a more polished sort o' feller,vell and good, have him; but vages or no vages, notice or no notice,board or no board, lodgin' or no lodgin', Sam Veller, as you tookfrom the old inn in the Borough, sticks by you, come what may; and letev'rythin' and ev'rybody do their wery fiercest, nothin' shall everperwent it!'At the close of this declaration, which Sam made with great emotion, theelder Mr. Weller rose from his chair, and, forgetting all considerationsof time, place, or propriety, waved his hat above his head, and gavethree vehement cheers.<>
