To teach us to fly, to exercise our half-fledged wings in short flights, that may prepare us for, and make it possible to take, longer ones. Every event that befalls us has a meaning beyond itself; and every task that we have to do reacts upon us, the doers, and either fits or hinders us for larger work.
"Go," he said, "back to the village of Mbonga, and Tarzan will follow to see that no harm befalls you." Tibo translated the words to his mother, and the two turned their backs upon the ape-man and started off toward home. In the heart of Momaya was a great fear and a great exultation, for never before had she walked with God, and never had she been so happy.
It befalls, therefore, as I was told on most excellent authority, that when the editor of a live London daily finds the local grist to be dull and uninteresting reading he straightway cables to his American correspondent or his Paris correspondent these two being his main standbys for sensations asking, if his choice falls on the man in America, for a snappy dispatch, say, about an American train smash-up, or a Nature freak, or a scandal in high society with a rich man mixed up in it.
The fate of the traitor befalls the man who is slain at this point; he has been a traitor to the inner true man. Man is to be transmuted on rectangular principles, or in the language of alchemy, is to be tinctured with the divine tincture.

"What do you intend to do with us?" questioned Dick curiously. "You'll have to ask your friend Arnold Baxter about that." "He is no friend of ours!" cried Tom.

"I'm sorry I mixed up in this affair, but now I am in it I'm going to see it through."
Now I indeed will hide desire and all repine, And light up this my fire that neighbours see no sign: Accept I what befalls by order of my Lord, Haply he too accept this humble act of mine. Sir Richard Burton's funeral was attended by a great crowd of mourners and representatives of every class in Trieste.
He was about to take a second mouthful, when Zumurrud, who was watching him, cried out to certain of her guards, saying, 'Bring me yonder man with the dish of sweet rice before him and let him not eat the mouthful he hath ready, but throw it from his hand. So four of the guards went up to Bersoum and throwing the mouthful of rice from his hand, haled him forthright before Zumurrud, whilst all the people left eating and said to one another, 'By Allah, he did wrong in not eating of the food meant for the like of him. 'For me, quoth one, 'I was content with this frumenty that is before me. And the hashish- eater said, 'Praised be God who hindered me from eating of the dish of sweet rice, for I looked for it to stand before him and was only waiting for him to have stayed his hunger of it, to eat with him, when there befell him what we see. And they said, one to another, 'Wait till we see what befalls him.
For while it is a painful and a grievous thing for a man to be robbed of anything, particularly if it is at the hands of an enemy that this befalls him, it is especially so, when he is robbed of your goodwill and kindness, just in proportion as to win these is the greatest possible gain.
The Lord Oro commands those who are left to enter their flying ships and bear to the Nations of the Earth tidings of what befalls those who dare to defy and insult him; to warn them also to eat and drink and be merry while they may, since for their wickedness they are about to perish." The scene faded and there followed another which really I cannot describe.
