   A few days before, the adulations and applauses of a nation were sounding in her [Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma's] ears, and now she was come to this!

   Lestrade and I sat silent for a moment, and then, with a spontaneous impulse, we both broke at clapping, as at the well-wrought crisis of a play. […] It was at such moments that for an instant he [Sherlock Holmes] ceased to be a reasoning machine, and betrayed his human love for admiration and applause.

   Livy never gets her share of those applauses, but it is because the people do not know. Yet she is entitled to the lion's share.

   Rice’s celebrations upon his goal were controlled, muted. Not so those of Grealish, who lapped up the applause of the England fans behind the goal.

   But (which had ſcarrefide our wounds, if wounded, with the Balme / Of her ſweete Preſence, ſo applaus’d as in Sea-ſtormes a Calme) / Her royall-ſelfe, Elizabeth our Soueraigne lawfull Queene, / In magnanimious Maieſtie amidſt her Troupes was ſeene.

   Now Ahab ſees the ground of that applauſed conſent of his rabble of Prophets: […]

   O ſacred Emperour, theſe ears have heard, / What no Sons ears can unrevenged hear, / The Princes all of them, but ſpecially, / The Prince Elector Archbiſhop of Collen, / Revil’d him by the names of murderer, / Arch villain, robber of the Empires fame, / And Cæſars tutor in all wickedneſs, / And with a general voice applaus’d his death, / As for a ſpecial good to Chriſtendome.
