They turned and went back to camp, but on reaching it they sat down among the packers, avoiding Gladwyne and Millicent. The sense of security which Millicent experienced on announcing her engagement was not permanent and in a few days the doubts that had troubled her crept back into her mind.
Pigot now instructed Charlie to hand over the command of that force to Peters; and, with fifty men, to make his way north and to effect a junction with Forde, who was entirely deficient in cavalry. Avoiding the French force, Charlie reached Vizagapatam upon the 2nd of December, and found that Forde had marched on the previous day.
He would wait to make his claim until he could bring evidence that could not be disregarded he would go to Mark Ashburn and force him to give him an acknowledgment which would carry conviction to every mind. He would go at once. Mark had evidently gone to this place, Gross Laufingen, with the idea of avoiding him he would follow him there!
There are couples that appear and vanish, strictly avoiding the little light that is left. Night is wiping out colors and features and names from both sorts of strollers. I notice a woman who waits, standing on the river bank. Her silhouette has pearly-gray sky behind it, so that she seems to support the darkness.
Crossing the great line of hills, they came down on the Saone; which they crossed at a ferry, fifteen miles below Dijon.

She wound a veil about her head, and, avoiding the main thoroughfare, slipped out of the town unperceived, and gained the free country.
He may be quite ignorant that thoughtful men have disputed concerning the nature of these for centuries past. And a man may go through the world avoiding disaster year after year by distinguishing with some success between what is real and what is not real, and yet he may be quite unable to tell us what, in general, it means for a thing to be real.
He had capitulated; a thin-skinned aversion to confronting difficulties, when he saw the chance of avoiding them, had won the day. He intended had perhaps the whole time intended to take the hand held out to him. After all, why not? Anyone else, as Polly said, would have jumped at John's offer. He alone must argue himself blue in the face over it.
Hannibal ordered Hanno to pass with his army from Bruttium into Campania, and to take care that the Campanians were supplied with corn. Hanno, setting out from Bruttium with his army, and carefully avoiding the camp of the enemy and the consuls who were in Samnium, when he drew near to Beneventum, pitched his camp on an eminence three miles from the city.
