Hugh saw at once that he was very weary and had not slept; the letter lay on the table beside him; and he said to Hugh that he had given the letter great thought, and that it was a very honourable behest: "And herewith I accept it for the Lady Mary," he said stammeringly, "who will do as my daughter and as the chosen of the honourable Earl should do."
In preparation for such arrangements the bishop had gone to Mr Harding's funeral. And now the dean went to the palace at the bishop's behest. He found his lordship alone, and was received with almost reverential courtesy.
Now the Lord spake to him and said: "Well, youngling, thou hast done well, and better than thy behest: and since ye have been playing at sharps, I deem thou would'st not do ill in battle, if it came to that. So now I am like to make something other of thee than I was minded to at first: for I deem that thou art good enough to be a man.
At Langley's behest, the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself to the skin, for Langley knew what to study, and why, and how; while Adams might as well have stood outside in the night, staring at the Milky Way.
Rollo lifted his hat, but the lady nearest them leaned out and cried 'Stop, stop! A gentleman must obey such a behest. Rollo wheeled and stood still. 'Where are you going? said the lady. Probably Rollo did not hear, for he looked at her calmly without answering. 'Is that the little lady? said the speaker, stretching her head out a little further to catch better sight of Wych Hazel.
“Glory be unto Thee, O Lord, Thou Who hast brought ...” Glory be unto Thee, O Lord, Thou Who hast brought into being all created things, through the power of Thy behest. O Lord! Assist those who have renounced all else but Thee, and grant them a mighty victory.
Thorpe said to himself that he did not like this and though afterward, when he had also climbed the gate and taken up his station under a clump of trees at the autocrat's behest, he strove to soothe his ruffled feelings by the argument that it was probably the absolutely correct deportment for a shooting party, his mind remained unconvinced.
In fact, my feeling for him was something greater than admiration. I almost worshiped him. His will was law to me in everything. His slightest wish I regarded as a behest. His talents amazed me. But I thought him not only the cleverest, but the best of men. It seemed to me right that such a man should be autocratic. A beneficent autocracy became my ideal of government.
"I come inter this house," declared Sim Squires, "at Bas Rowlett's behest, ter spy on Parish Thornton an' I j'ined ther riders fer ther same reason but I'm done with lyin' now! Hit's Bas Rowlett thet made a fool of me an' seeks ter make convicts outen you." He paused; then wheeling once more he walked slowly, step by step, to where Bas Rowlett stood cowering.
I awaited their further proceedings with curiosity. Was it in quest of us, at the behest of De Berquin, that they had come hither so cautiously and without their horses? Very probably. Doubtless, from afar, they had seen us turn into the byway which, as one or more of them perhaps knew, led to this inn and to no other.
