He aimed a vicious stroke at my head, which I ducked in the nick of time to permit of its landing with full force in my companion's ribs. I heard him grunt in acknowledgment of its receipt. "Where is the guard, I say! If they come not I will strangle the dogs with my own consecrated hands to the glory of God. By the sainted Benedine! was ever one of our Order so basely treated before?
"Will you like me better if I didn't?" he inquired. "I shan't like you at all if you did." "Then I didn't hear a word.... Besides," he basely uttered, "you were entirely in the right!" "I should think I was!" said Arlee Beecher very indignantly. "The very notion ! Captain Kerissen is a very nice young man. He is going to get me an invitation to the Khedive's ball." "Is that a very crumby affair?"
After dinner with my Lord Bruncker and his mistress to the King's playhouse, and there saw "The Indian Emperour;" where I find Nell come again, which I am glad of; but was most infinitely displeased with her being put to act the Emperour's daughter; which is a great and serious part, which she do most basely.
I speak that, when in after years my innocence will be made evident by the discovery of the real assassin, you will all remember what I now say that I have not so basely requited the King and Country who so generously and trustingly befriended me that I am no murderer!" "Then, if so convinced of innocence, young man, wherefore not attempt defence?" demanded the Sub-Prior of St. Francis.
From first to last, from the day when she had frankly told him her story and he had accepted it and refused to let it bring any difference to his friendship for her, down to this present time, when after being basely attacked by her own husband, he had nobly brought the wretch home and was caring for him as for one of his own blood through all and in spite of all, the squire had shown the same unassuming but unfailing generosity.
But, slipping away too happily into thoughts of how different she was from everyone else in the whole world, beyond that he had not found it easy to go.

He had received a flesh-wound above the eyes, and his forehead was bandaged, but the rest of the face uncovered. As the light fell on him he lifted his eyelids and looked at me: his look was inscrutable. For half an hour or so I sat there in the dark, the sense of that face pressing close on me. It was a damnable face meanly handsome, basely proud.
And if we consider things truly, the soul should exert itself in every pursuit, for that is the only security for its doing its duty. But this should be principally regarded in pain, that we must not do anything timidly, or dastardly, or basely, or slavishly, or effeminately, and, above all things, we must dismiss and avoid that Philoctetean sort of outcry.
It is the vices of men, and not the weakness of their nature, that basely enslave them to their equals; and he that prizes liberty beyond a few contemptible pleasures of his senses may be certain that no human force can ever bereave him of so great a good.
