And then to go Worming about till you got Miriam fired and then bag her job yourself!
"The Story of Louie"
Oliver Onions
These men, by their smooth speech, their effrontery and ready wit, their infinite capacity for assuming every mood and humouring every caprice of the patron, are creeping into the recesses of great houses, Worming out their secrets, and mastering their virtue.
"Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius"
Samuel Dill
The poor people Worming in and out around your cab are very patient of your progress over the terrible floor of their crooked thoroughfare, perhaps because they reciprocate your curiosity, and perhaps because they are very amiable and not very sensitive.
"Roman Holidays and Others"
W. D. Howells
