He is ane o' those wicked Papists wha ha' just stepped in to rob and murder us." "Nonsense! Do as I bid you." "I winna be fashed aboot him. An' if he bides here, I'll e'en flit by the first blink o' the morn." "Isabel, for shame! Is this acting like a Christian, or doing as you would be done by?"
Randal gnawed his lip in the sullen wrath of a man who bides his hour of future emancipation, and lent his brain to the hire of the present servitude, in mechanical acquiescence. The inherent superiority of the profound young schemer became instantly apparent over the courage of Peschiera and the practised wit of the baron.

To succeed in winning a bishopric requires a sagacity as keen as that required to become a Senator of Massachusetts or the Governor of New York. The man bides his time, makes himself popular, secures advocates, lubricates the way, pulls the wires, and slides noiselessly into place. Swift lacked diplomacy.
