The King should be as generous, as liberal in his mercy as the clouds, the outpourings of whose bounty are showered upon every land, by the behest of Him Who is the Supreme Ordainer, the All-Knowing. Have a care not to entrust thine affairs of state entirely into another’s hands. None can discharge thy functions better than thine own self.
But Richard again laid his hand on him more gently, and added, "This behest we lay on thee as on a slave. Wert thou knight and gentleman, we would require thine honour in pledge of thy silence, which is one especial condition of our present trust." The Ethiopian raised his body proudly, looked full at the King, and laid his right hand on his heart. Richard then summoned his chamberlain.
Each of these monsters appeared to be seeking to snare me in a horrible net, and when the nauarch came to beseech me to wait, I imperiously commanded him to obey my orders. "The luckless man bowed, and performed his Queen's behest. The giant was turned, and forced a passage through the maze. "I breathed more freely. "What had threatened me like the legs of huge spiders became oars once more.
The one unclouded certainty was that the hatred had grown until even in this land of vendetta its levy of violent deaths had been appalling beyond those of other enmities. Yet, paradoxically enough, the Harpers in the later feud stages had followed a man named Thornton and the Doanes had fought at the behest of a Rowlett.
It is when the ideal speaks in us and to us as the behest of the Living God above all, when it stands before us incarnated, made actual in the Son of God that it becomes dynamic, drawing and uplifting and transforming men into the Divine likeness.

Thenceforth, a resident but no longer a citizen of the land that had given him birth, William M. Gwin, to the end of his life, bore the high sounding but empty title of "Duke of Sonora."
"I could dare it for the sake of any friend who deserved my adherence; as you, I am sure, do." "Go back now into the room; step quietly up to Mason, and whisper in his ear that Mr. Rochester is come and wishes to see him: show him in here and then leave me." "Yes, sir." I did his behest. The company all stared at me as I passed straight among them. I sought Mr.
"They are awfully proud folks." "With a proper pride, perhaps." "I guess so. They are real nice anyway even if Gummy does wear patched pants." "And does he?" asked daddy, seriously. "Perhaps we had better look through my Wardrobe in his behest." "But, Daddy! he can't wear your clothes. He'd be lost in them," Janice giggled. "True.
The ring which I gave thee once in the garden of the Face, give thou to Bow-may, my trusty and well-beloved, in token of the fulfilment of my behest." Then the Bride kissed Bow-may again, and fell to fondling of the child, which was loth to leave Bow-may.
On the other hand, when one sees how the citizenship of the United States, which ought to be a millionfold more precious than that of Russia, is conferred loosely upon tens of thousands of men absolutely unfit to exercise it, whose exercise of it seems, at times, likely to destroy republican government; when one sees the power of conferring it granted to the least respectable class of officials at the behest of ward politicians, without proper safeguards and at times without any regard to the laws; when one sees it prostituted by men of the most unfit class, and, indeed, of the predatory class, who have left Europe just long enough to obtain it, and then left America in order to escape the duties both of their native and their adopted country, and to avail themselves of the privileges of both citizenships without one thought of the duties of either, using them often in careers of scoundrelism, one feels that Russia is nearer the true ideal in this respect than we are.
