"I thank you, indeed, sir, and shall ever feel beholden to you; and I will, moreover, give you my knightly word that, whatever service I may have to perform, I will never again war with the Welsh. "May I ask if any of our party succeeded in reaching Llanidloes?" "Yes, some sixty or seventy of them got in.
"No one," said Flint, with sudden hopelessness. "And you say you're an orphan, and ain't got any relations livin' that you're beholden to?" "No one." "Then, take my advice, and BE Fowler, and stick to it!
The perpetual enticement and blandishment of worldly success so universal in our time can not move us if we found one theory and practice upon the central doctrine of moral education. Education, therefore, in its popular, untrammeled, moral sense, is the greatest concern of society. In projecting a general plan of popular education we are beholden to the prejudices of no man nor class of men.
Some o' 'em, who I had the pleasure of surveyin' through Sarge's glasses this mornin', have overcoats good warm ones. Now that's what'd pleasure a poor cold Texas boy, makin' him forgit his troubles. You keep your eyes sighted for one of them theah overcoats, Boyd. I'll be right beholden to you for it." Hannibal brayed again and switched his rope tail.
So I'm much beholden to your missus, and so's Charley, I'm sure; though he's ta'en a turn to betterin' sin' he came out here to be nursed. 'I'm a deal better, said Kinraid; 'a'most ready for t' press-gang to give chase to again. 'But folk say they're gone off this coast for one while, added Daniel. 'They're gone down towards Hull, as I've been told, said Kinraid.
"You know you is really 'titled to yo' fif's by law, Mahs William," resumed Mammy, in her natural manner, "because still bein' bond, you could call on me, an' I don't begrudge you; in fact, Ise beholden to you." "Not at all, Mammy. Don't talk any more about my fifth. You are as good as free, you know." "I knows that, Mahs William; but right is right, and I gwine to pay for them buttons."
At this meeting she had her full revenge of him; for she told him she wondered what he took her to be, that she should admit any man to a treaty of so much consequence as that to marriage, without inquiring very well into his circumstances; that if he thought she was to be huffed into wedlock, and that she was in the same circumstances which her neighbours might be in, viz. to take up with the first good Christian that came, he was mistaken; that, in a word, his character was really bad, or he was very ill beholden to his neighbours; and that unless he could clear up some points, in which she had justly been prejudiced, she had no more to say to him, but to do herself justice, and give him the satisfaction of knowing that she was not afraid to say No, either to him or any man else.
"Nay, child, I called too loudly for that. But certainly another moment would have been our last. Senor, is yonder villain dead?" "Nay," said Pharaoh in his best Spanish, "he breathes, Senor, and will come to presently." "I am beholden, deeply beholden to you both, gentlemen. Dios! to think that I should be unable to travel on even so short a journey with safety!
Silence in officious service is the best oratory to plead for his respect: all diligence is but lent to him, none lost. His wealth stands in receiving, his honour in giving. He cares not either how many hold of his goodness, or to how few he is beholden: and if he have cast away favours, he hates either to upbraid them to his enemy, or to challenge restitution.
"Oh my dear!" she pleaded, "you that I love like my own flesh and blood, don't! Oh Anthea! don't do what can never be undone.
