But then his instinct for resistance came to life within him.

The old instinct came upon him to cling to the land just a little longer and give it one more chance.

Yet instincts born in years past came back to him.

And then, suddenly, the old instinct of recording came over me.

But now it did seem that old instincts came into play and I gave orders without working them out first.

The instinct of the people no longer comes to meet him.

Here just the opposite happens: The instincts come rushing out.

But here the old human instinct of the chase came into play.

But why wasn't her first instinct to come flying at me?

I had only to play on the instincts already coming to the surface.
