Throughout their revels he kept close to his adored mistress, who was at the banquet with him and was more charming and fascinating to him than ever -- he did not leave her side, abasing himself in his homage before her.

It was clear his only chance of concealing his bottomless baseness was to hold his tongue, and meanwhile he chipped with earnest care and abased his soul before the very shadow of Miss Walshingham.
Был лишь один способ утаить всю глубину своего невежества — держать язык за зубами, и Киппс старательно и сосредоточенно обтесывал чурбачки, в душе поклоняясь даже тени мисс Уолшингем.

But when, as in the case of Nicholas the Czar, the ringed crown of geographical empire encircles an imperial brain; then, the plebeian herds crouch abased before the tremendous centralization.
Когда же, как это было с царем Николаем, круглая корона мировой империи заключает в себе императорский мозг, тогда плебейская толпа никнет, подавленная грандиозным единовластием.

He cowered in the shadow of the thought, abasing himself in the awe of God Who had made all things and all men.
В смиренном унижении и в страхе перед Богом, который создал все живое и все сущее, он весь сжался перед нарастающим мраком этой мысли.
