Basil H. Chamberlain says, "Japan stood still so long that she has to move quickly and often now to make up for lost time." This states the case pretty well.

Diana waited a few minutes and then spoke again. "Basil I want to consult you." "Well, do it." "Ought I to leave my mother to live alone, as she is? She is not young now." "What would you do?" "If I knew, Basil, I would like it to do what I ought to do." "Would you take her to live with you?" "If you would? and she would." Basil put his arm round his wife and bent down and kissed her.
The beginning of the Venetian dominion was brought about by the appeal for help against Cresimir which the Spalatines made to Venice by advice of Basil and Constantine, emperors of Byzantium.
"Wilt do so?" Basil opened the press, and tossed a packet on the table. "There they are." Dan snatched it up, and turned it round and round in his fingers. "Why dost thou give them back?"

Swinburne and I will clear out the prison downstairs." "All right," said Basil, rising also and seating himself in a leisured way in an armchair.
Then Veranilda rose from the couch, and knelt beside her. Having solaced their souls, they kissed each other tenderly. 'You are not afraid, whispered Veranilda, 'that Basil may be in the garden when we go forth? 'Basil? Ah, little rogue, have you betrayed yourself?
