Mr Curdle wore a loose robe on his back, and his right forefinger on his forehead after the portraits of Sterne, to whom somebody or other had once said he bore a striking resemblance. 'I venture to call, for the purpose of asking whether you would put your name to my bespeak, ma'am, said Miss Snevellicci, producing documents. 'Oh! I really don't know what to say, replied Mrs Curdle.
"Now thou mayst go, Blunt. Thou, Falworth, stay; I would bespeak thee further." "Tell me," said he, when the elder lad had left them, "why wilt thou not serve these bachelors as the other squires do? Such is the custom here. Why wilt thou not obey it?" "Because," said Myles, "I cannot stomach it, and they shall not make me serve them.
These things bespeak an industrious, efficient, and tractable king, such as the Norwegians, who would equally resent either vacillation or tyranny, know how to appreciate.

His small stature, iron heart, and willingness to enter the earth bespeak the terrier cross.
'The short and the long of what you mean, said Nancy: speaking very emphatically, and slightly frowning at Oliver as if to bespeak his serious attention to her words: 'is, that if you're crossed by him in this job you have on hand, you'll prevent his ever telling tales afterwards, by shooting him through the head, and will take your chance of swinging for it, as you do for a great many other things in the way of business, every month of your life.
Therefore it struck me as strange that Generals Hardee and Smith should commit their, families to our custody, and even bespeak our personal care and attention. These officers knew well that these reports were exaggerated in the extreme, and yet tacitly assented to these publications, to arouse the drooping energies of the people of the South.
I bid the postilion go on with the chaise to Moulines and La Fleur to bespeak my supper; and that I would walk after him. She was dress'd in white, and much as my friend described her, except that her hair hung loose, which before was twisted within a silk net.
