One young officer, more out of carelessness, it seemed, than from any bad wish, had written a letter giving information to the enemy. "I shall pass over your fault this time," said Gordon, "if you show your loyalty by leading the next forlorn hope." Gordon forgot this condition, but the young officer did not.
Madame Sennier received the praises with an air of gracious indifference, as if her husband's opera were now so famous that it was scarcely worth while to talk about it. This carelessness accentuated brutally the difference between her position and Charmian's. And it stung Charmian into indiscretion. Something fiery and impetuous seemed to rise up in her, something that wanted to fight.
"Look here, Vyse I'm not sorry not altogether sorry this has happened!" He moved slowly across the room, and laid a friendly palm on Vyse's shoulder. "In a queer illogical way it evens up things, as it were. I did you a shabby turn once, years ago oh, out of sheer carelessness, of course about that novel of yours I promised to give to Apthorn.
At present I am quite unable to see how they have found you out, unless you have betrayed yourself by some piece of unintentional carelessness. Anyhow, the fact remains that they know where you are, and that very probably they will be able to trace this launch." Savaroff nodded. "As likely as not we shall have a shot across our bows when we get to Sheerness," he growled.
"Really it's too absurd," he said, betraying his confusion by assuming a carelessness quite foreign to his normal manner. "In what way could I possibly be jealous, Miss Goff?" "That is best known to yourself." Lucian now saw plainly that there was a change in Alice, and that he had lost ground with her.
Such carelessness of money was a natural reversion to habit, which came as a consequence of her absorbed mind. The great hospital looked bare and grim, the smell of iodoform was more repellent than ever, after the sweet scents of the country. Claire knew her way by this time, and ascended by lift to the women's ward, where Sophie lay.
Two of the best hands were at the wheel, for any carelessness in steering might in an instant have produced a serious disaster. The effects of the additional sail were satisfactory, as the stranger was no longer gaining on us, as she had hitherto done.
"I have told you a great many times that it is never safe for you to touch my gun," said Tom, gravely. He felt that Gypsy's carelessness might have brought about too terrible consequences, both to herself and to him, to be passed by lightly; and he had an idea that, as long as her mother was not there to tell her so, he must.
No one could tell how it happened; but the supports were all cut save two or three, which the swaying of the hammock gradually loosened until, just as the officer went to "change sides," down he came with a frightful splash head first into the tub. Terrence, who was near, ran to his rescue and quickly pulled him out. "It's bastely carelessness to lave the water there," cried Terrence.
With which summary of his merits, "Beauty," who felt himself to be a master in those two arts, but thought himself a bad fellow out of them, sauntered away to join the Seraph and the rest of his guests; his father's words pursuing him a little, despite his carelessness, for they had borne an unwelcome measure of truth. "Royal can hit hard," his thoughts continued.
