The men were instantly satisfied and steady. It was, indeed, indispensable for the Duke to bide his time. The premature movement of a single corps down from the British line of heights, would have endangered the whole position, and have probably made Waterloo a second Hastings. But the Duke inspired all under him with his own spirit of patient firmness.
"Cheer up, and count our score of heads." "I can count but one head, and that my own. Let it bide." "So, that is better," said Wislac. "I should surely have been slain five times by my own count, but it seems I am wrong. Wherefore I must have escaped somehow. And that is all I know about it." Then he turned to me, and asked if I had noted any doings at all.
Donal looked at her; his face was in the light reflected from the opposite gray precipice: she thought it looked white and strange, and grew more frightened, but dared not speak. Presently Donal again began to sing, and this is something like what he sang: "Death! whaur do ye bide, auld Death?" "I bide in ilka breath," Quo' Death.
Now Dalfin and I went together, and set back the timbers in their places. But they would not bide there properly, and I took up the hammer we had used to take them down, and drove one or two of the upper nails again lightly, Dalfin kneeling and holding the ends below.
"And why should not the gentleman be like his ancestor, you silly boy?" said the Lord Keeper. "Ay; but if he is come to chase us all out of the castle," said the boy, "and has twenty men at his back in disguise; and is come to say, with a hollow voice, 'I bide my time'; and is to kill you on the hearth as Malise did the other man, and whose blood is still to be seen!"
When thou, O Death! shalt wait Without my gate Call not the porter out With knock and shout: But still unnoticed bide The gate beside, Till Sleep, my oft-time guest, Doth come in quest Of me. Quick after her, Past bolt and bar, Enter all silently. Thenceforth for me The gate thou mayest keep, That calm-browed Sleep, So often missed before, Pass forth no more.
This was hard to bide for ane that had suffered and done mickle, ower mickle, it may be; but why suld I be a judge?
They recalled those dismal days and nights earlier on their journey, when they were storm-stayed, and they were depressed at the thought that something of the nature might again overtake them. When the boys proposed to put up the tent, the Irishman said: "It is early in the day; bide awhile before going to that trouble."
"Sit into the fire, Sam'l," said the farmer, not, however, making way for him. "Na, na," said Sam'l, "I'm to bide nae time." Then he sat into the fire. His face was turned away from Bell, and when she spoke he answered her without looking round. Sam'l felt a little anxious. Sanders Elshioner, who had one leg shorter than the other, but looked well when sitting, seemed suspiciously at home.
On this occasion she did glance once or twice at Rosamund, and something which was not often seen in her eyes filled them for a moment a look of mingled admiration and fear. Rosamund determined to bide her time. "I have not come here to make friends with the stupid Leaves," she said to herself. "I have come here to talk to Miss Carter, and talk to her I will.
