He followed me, as biddable as a sheep, draggin' his legs like yin far gone in seeckness. I set him by the fire, and put whisky at his elbow, but he wadna touch it. "I've nae need o' it," said he. "I'm find and warm"; and he sits staring at the fire, aye comin' ower again and again, "The Solloway, the Solloway. It's a guid name and a muckle water."
An' I hope ye'll mend yer ways, an' be a better boy than ye've been." "I am very grateful, Aunt Hepsy," said Tom very quietly. "And I will try to be what you say." Something in his face and eyes touched even Aunt Hepsy, and it came upon her very suddenly to wonder if she had not treated him a little unjustly. "He's a biddable cretur, too," she said to Mr. Keane.
His quick brain mapped out a plan of escape in which the sole flaw was that he must leave behind his brilliant bride. With eight or ten of his greatest, most loyal gentlemen, he arranged to hunt in the forest of Senlis; and he had shown himself so biddable, so boyish, that at first even Catherine de Medicis did not suspect him.
"I thought so. But we are drifting away from the boats, and should swim back as fast as we can. Can you swim?" "Yes; better when I get rid of this cloak. Which way is the yacht? I've lost my bearings." "Behind us over there. Put your hand on my shoulder and I'll take you along until you get your breath. So!" The girl obeyed implicitly, "as if she were a good, biddable child," thought Jim.
At that time I had become editor of The Atlantic Monthly, and I had allegiances belonging to the conduct of what was and still remains the most scrupulously cultivated of our periodicals. When Clemens began to write for it he came willingly under its rules, for with all his wilfulness there never was a more biddable man in things you could show him a reason for.
"Up to a year ago she was like she had always been, as biddable as a child, and meek and yielding every way. All at once she's got stiff-necked and wilful." "She couldn't tell you why, herself, David. We are all that way good little girls and then all of a sudden wilful women. I don't know what changes us. It's harder on us than it is on you.
But she cam nae speed wi' him; an' at last she says, says she, 'Geordie, I can make nothing of him: what in the world is to be done? 'Gie him a shairp upward yark, my leddy, says I; 'there canna be muckle strength o' resistance left in him by this time! Weel, she did as I tellt her I will say this for Leddy Carline, that she's aye biddable.
At last he realised that I was master, and after that I hardly remember one occasion on which he gave any trouble; for the three years that I afterwards possessed him, we were the best of friends, and he the most gentle and biddable of beasts. Alas! that I should have had to end his days with a bullet, and leave his bones to be picked by the dingoes of the Great Sandy Desert.
They make up one of the noblest bodies of women associated with any social movement of humanity. And in their zeal and submissiveness they are so innocently meek and "biddable" that they can listen with reverence to young Hyrum Smith publicly lecturing the grandmothers of the order for occasionally partaking of a cup of thin tea.
She is just Mrs. Swinburne, but I love her! And Mrs. Swinburne picked him up and kissed him and cried, and I don't believe she ever tried again to make him mind." "I'm glad Perdita and Peter are such a biddable sort," said Polly. "I don't know what we'd do with two little imps around. They are quite good, almost always. Perdita is mischievous, but Peter keeps her straight.
