| The likes of Mr Ambani and Mr Deveshwar may be embarrassed to be reminded of how sycophantic they were in Mr Modi's presence. |
| Somewhat sheepishly, I reflected on how often I had felt that patients were a little sycophantic in their remarks at the end of a consultation. |
| That was said not vainly or presumptuously, but in reproof of sycophantic courtiers. |
| Even when he joshed with them, the sycophantic laughter was always nervous. |
| Backhanders from the publishers, I shouldn't wonder, judging by the sycophantic drivel they've written. |
| I not only love movies, I'm also fascinated with the larger star-making machine that is Hollywood and the sycophantic press that supports it. |
