Unless my hold on him slipped even more than I thought.

But his hold was slipping; he could feel the rat slithering from beneath him.

Her fingers were white from gripping the rock, and her hold was slipping.

Time and again a hold slipped and he escaped falling by a hair's breadth.

Sluggish blood fought against her, and her hold on herself was slipping.

Some say the numbers show that Mr. Silver's hold on the district is slipping.

Her last hold on reality had just slipped off the edge of a cliff to its untimely death.

The man's hold slipped; he let go and slithered down, landing askew.

His hold over the unending lyric flow never slips for an instant.
