Perhaps the part in him which had never had the opportunity of behaving ill to his mother, and so had not choked up its channels with wrong, remained, in middle age and illness, capable of receiving kindness. Hesper saw the relation between them, but without the least pleasure or the least curiosity. She seemed to care for nothing except the keeping of her back straight.
Duncan and the other magistrate, and they were sent to Victoria for trial. They were found guilty, and, on being called upon to reply, made most affecting speeches in court, acknowledging the sin, and their just liability to punishment. "So," wrote Mr. Duncan six months afterwards, "they are now with us, and all behaving very well.
I am not within reach, so it is useless to cry for help." "Scoundrel!" cried the King. "There's no use in behaving like a child ... you won't gain anything by it." "Pity, pity!... I will make you rich ... I will give you anything you ask, only set me at liberty ... take me out of this prison or I shall become mad." "Have you done with your lamentations?" "I'll be revenged!"
"I think," said Marcia, in a tone trembling with indignation, "that Coryston is behaving abominably." But her brothers did not respond, and Coryston looked at his sister with lifted brows. "Go it, Marcia!" he said, indulgently. Lady Coryston began to read.

It was, Professor Stephens said, a solitary instance, as the brave Germans thought magic the art of a coward. The hypnotism from which all the garrison suffered was a slight hypnotism; the eyes remained open and people went about behaving almost normally. Father B. lost his self-control for an instant. Some people would have to be tricked in a complicated way.
Alas! it is one of the many drawbacks of experience that it frequently prevents our behaving with spirit. I must be content to appeal to the wiser and therefore sadder reader, of whom I have but a poor opinion if he too fails to understand me.
Her brother stared at the others in dismay. "What nonsense," he said, patting her on the shoulder. "You're a bit tired, and you need rest. That's what you need. The idea of my sister going off in hysterics after behaving like such a sport and before these young ladies, too. Aren't you ashamed?"
