Note
Because the verb is regular, one spelling does both jobs: she quested is the simple past, and they had quested is the perfect, marked only by have. Usually the verb stands without an object and leans on a preposition (quested after the truth, quested across kingdoms), though it can also take a direct object in the sense 'searched for'. A specialist use describes a parasite that has located and attached to a host animal.
