He sees the cook cleaning a fish-but he does not appear curious as to where those delicacies go; he bides his time.
"Life and Writings of Maurice Maeterlinck"
Jethro Bithell
It is almost best for him if he finds that his opponent has the pace of him, and if he therefore relapses to his proper style, and bides his time.
"Boating"
W. B. Woodgate Commentator: Harvey Mason
My heart in me keepes him and me in one, My heart in him his thoughts and sences guides: He loues my heart, for once it was his owne, I cherish his because in me it bides.
"The Arte of English Poesie"
George Puttenham
