'Seneca his preceptor, he forced to kill himself. And there was Petronius, who had called his friends about him at the last, bidding them talk to him, not of the consolations of philosophy, but of love and gallantry, while the life was ebbing away through his opened veins.
Things had reached this crisis, and Peter the Great, having hurled aside his two assailants, was on the point of rushing to the rescue of his friend, when the door burst open, and Ben-Ahmed stood before them quivering with indignation. "Is this your return for my forbearance? Be-gone!" he shouted to his son in a voice of thunder. Osman knew his father too well to require a second bidding.
"Though Barry Lynch, and that limb o' the divil, young Daly, 'd stick at nothin in the way of lies and desait, they'd niver go to say all this about Moylan, unless he'd agree to do their bidding." "That's like enough, mother: I dare say Moylan has been talked over bought over rather; for he's not one of them as'd do mischief for nothin."
Indeed there is an audacity about his conduct to which I know no parallel. Fancy a man marrying a wife and then instantly bidding her go home to her mother because he finds that she once liked another man better than himself! I wonder whether the law couldn't touch him! But you have escaped from all that, and I really can't understand why you should be so awfully cruel to the poor girl."

Unless miracle had made another like it, it was the very same, even to the peculiar jagged edge where it met in front. Antoli's expression was foolish and ashamed, but at Giacomo's bidding be began a recital of his recent experiences.
Was it likely the storm which hung over me would thus early be dispersed? should I again enjoy that liberty so dearly prized, be restored to my beloved parents, and see my brothers and sisters? I was allowed short time to indulge these flattering hopes. The moment I had thrown on my clothes, I followed my conductors without having an opportunity of bidding farewell to my royal neighbour.
Here was the way of it. I was auctioneer, you ken but that was not enough to keep me from bidding myself. And so I worked them up and on and then I bid in the flag for myself for a hundred pounds five hundred dollars of American money. I had my doots about how they'd be taking it to have a stranger carry their flag away. And so I bided a wee.
The moment he arrived in Paris the young officer had been, so to speak, seized by the collar. He had found a great glazed card, bidding him to attend this fair, in a fashionable quarter, and forthwith he had forgotten his resolution of not going near the Nailles for a long time. "This is not the same thing," he said to himself. "One must not let one's self be supposed to be stingy."
Dellius, the false-tongued, came also, fawning and bowing, and in the name of Antony gave the "Queen of Beauty" greeting, bidding her to a feast that Antony had made ready. But she made high answer, and said, "Forsooth, it is Antony who should wait on us; not we on Antony. Bid the noble Antony to our poor table this night else we dine alone."
