De la biblioteca

So he would go to Lawson’s, where Samuel or his son would wait on him.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 189 · C1
They had not been long together before Darcy told her that Bingley was also coming to wait on her; and she had barely time to express her satisfaction, and prepare for such a visitor, when Bingley’s quick step was heard on the stairs, and in a moment he entered the room.
Pride and Prejudice, p. 292 · B2
It had been settled in the evening, between the aunt and niece, that such a striking civility as Miss Darcy’s, in coming to them on the very day of her arrival at Pemberley--for she had reached it only to a late breakfast--ought to be imitated, though it could not be equalled, by some exertion of politeness on their side; and, consequently, that it would be highly expedient to wait on her at Pemberley the following morning.
Pride and Prejudice, p. 299 · B2
Bennet, “you will wait on him, of course.”
Pride and Prejudice, p. 309 · B2
