Aschenbach is greeted by the Hotel Manager, who shows him his room with ingratiating volubility. His tone was small but ingratiating, his technique polished and elegant. It flows in an unbroken expressive stream, lyrical and ingratiating to the ear. His appearance was alert and masculine, and he had an ingratiating sense of humour. He frequently stumbles over his new language while ingratiating himself with her and her family. The style is unrestrained, the tunes ingratiating, the writing expert. First of all he begins ingratiating himself with her young son and her lover. Dokett also succeeded in ingratiating himself with the King's brother, Richard, and obtained his patronage. In the tavern the two Whig candidates are ingratiating themselves with supporters. Penny eventually resolves to stay in Leonard's life by ingratiating herself to Priya. Julia recovers and begins ingratiating herself into the family. Fats Domino come up behind him with similar music with a more ingratiating delivery. Ji, soon, was also ingratiating An Lushan, and An was repeatedly recommending him.
