Bide one’s time and await developments. Daniel Defoe used this term in Robinson Crusoe (1719): “We had no remedy but to wait and see.” In England it became firmly associated with Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, because it was his repeated reply to demands by the opposition that he reveal in advance, against precedent, the terms of an impending bill to the members of the House of Commons (1910). A popular song making fun of Asquith did much to perpetuate his new nickname, Old Wait and See.
