He was dressed with scrupulous neatness and rather pretentiously, as behooved his occupation, but all this would scarcely have prevented one from telling him for a tailor from some poor town in Russia Now and then my project struck me as absurd. For Chaikin was in the foremost ranks of a trade in which I was one of the ruck.
Had he been wholly innocent he would have demanded trial at the hands of his peers of the Golden Fleece as behooved one of the order. But he withdrew undefended, and left his tattered reputation fluttering raggedly in the breeze of gossip. Charles stayed in Holland aloof from the ducal court until a fresh incident drove him thither to give vent to his indignation.
It was but for a brief time with Gaston, for however he might cherish a lady in his heart, his duty as a man came first; and with a small estate, it behooved him to be very active in his profession of arms, that he might not be known as a laggard and sluggard.
If it were he, his presence there savored of mystery or it savored of the tragic. The latter seemed the more likely hypothesis, judging from the expression of his face, as seen by me under the lantern. It behooved me then to approach him, but to approach him in the shadow of the boat-house. What passed in the next few minutes seemed to me unreal and dreamlike.
Then as he let the folds of canvas fall, a voice inside called angrily: "Quit that! I want to get out." It was Dave Darrin's voice, and Dave was the quickest-tempered one of the six boys. Fred knew that it behooved him to get away from the spot at once. There was a wriggling under the canvas. Ripley turned to flee. Gr-r-r-r! Towser stood barring his path.
Heb. iii. 2, which were to be said, if Christ had not, by as plain, plentiful, and particular directions and ordinances, provided for all the necessities of the Christian church in the matter of religion, as Moses for the Jewish; or if the least pin, and the meanest appurtenance of the tabernacle, and all the service thereof, behooved to be ordered according to the express commandment of God by the hand of Moses, how shall we think, that in the rearing, framing, ordering, and beautifying of the church, the house of the living God, he would have less honour and prerogative given than to his own well-beloved Son, by whom he hath spoken to us in these last days, and whom he hath commanded us to hear in all things?
It behooved him to be on the watch during the time of trial and triumph and at breakfast he had observed Red Perris looking at the girl a dozen times with an anticipatory smile which changed straightway to glumness when her glance passed him carelessly by. And now Hervey communicated his opinions to the others on the way to the bunkhouse to get their things for the day's riding.
If so experienced a man as that muskrat trapper could get lost in Black Water Swamps and stay lost for two whole days, it behooved a party of boys, unfamiliar with such surroundings to be very careful in all they did. But Paul had ever been known as a cautious fellow.
He might even be hunted by a village posse. And bloodhounds! The adventurous side of this rather pleased him. It simply narrowed down to this it behooved him to loiter no longer in the green world of spring. Penance or no penance he must now try penitential speed. How on earth had he ever managed to blunder into a country all trees and no rails?
Of one thing I felt sure all right for these meant all wrong for me, and it behooved me to prevent the meeting but how?
