Then I softened, as I always do towards the claimant of the other part, and added that we were on the same footing; I had been a pensioner myself. "Sire, I thank you," said Bellenger, having shaken the wallet and poked his fingers into the lining where an unheard-of gold piece could have lodged. "It tickles my vanity to be called sire." "You are a true prince," said Bellenger.
"You are come!" said Redclyffe, solemnly. "But too late!" "And yonder is the coffer," said the pensioner. "Open but that; and our quest is ended." "That, if I mistake not, I can do," said Redclyffe.
A man raised from a petty pensioner on the crown's bounty, to be the counsellor of majesty, and the prime distributor of the bounties of the state; one with whom rank, fortune, title, consequence, and power, all grew up like a mushroom, by the mere warm good-will of the sister, whom, in requital, he hath mewed up in this place of melancholy seclusion whom, in farther requital, he has deposed, and whom, if he dared, he would murder!"

The oracle of the civil law, the learned Bartolus, was a pensioner of Charles the Fourth; and his school resounded with the doctrine, that the Roman emperor was the rightful sovereign of the earth, from the rising to the setting sun.
The regiments of English and Irish auxiliaries remained quietly in the service of France; and the king did not withdraw his subsidies from his royal pensioner. Thus was being undone, link by link, the chain of alliances which Louis XIV. had but lately twisted round Holland.
Being the agent of Mary de' Medici, he was, of course, described as a tool of the court and a secret pensioner of Spain. He was to plot with the arch traitor Barneveld as to the best means for distracting the Provinces and bringing them back into Spanish subjection.
I had heard them calumniated, and held my tongue but I was to see Lillian. I had let the dean fancy I was willing to become a pensioner on his bounty that I was a member of the Church of England, and willing to go to a Church Training School but I was to see Lillian. I had lowered myself in my own eyes but I had seen Lillian.
The consciousness of acres had passed away from his portly presence. He was no longer a possessor, but a pensioner.
