Her savings have all been used up from her bank account in New York. She is determined to go to her father in Kentucky. You might be loafing around the place about that time." Jim's hand was suddenly lifted. "I got ye, Doc, I got ye! I'll be there all day." "Don't let her see you until I give the signal." "Caution's my name." "We'll see what happens." Jim pressed close.
I claim that, as a cook, Stevey's a bold and skilful one, and enterprising. But outside the galley he's a backward man and caution's his motto, and in argument he's, as you might say, a gradual man. His nature, as differing there from Flannagan's, might be seen in this way.
Accordingly, in such cries and shouts as but for caution's sake they would have indulged in from the very first, they now gave utterance to their feelings as regarded the man whose destruction was aimed at. "Death to the vampyre! death to the vampyre!" was the principal shout, and it was uttered in tones which sounded like those of rage and disappointment.

The man touched his hat, got out of the fly immediately, and gave me the letter. I opened it at once and read these lines. I copy them here, thinking it best to destroy the original for caution's sake.
I'll show you a way, if you're not too proud to take advice from a girl." "Certainly not," Kit said, smiling. "I don't know why you think I'm proud." "Then perhaps you're obstinate; some of the dalesfolk are." "We're slow. We like to try things properly; and then, perhaps we stick to them longer than is needful if we find them good.

"I wonder," said a voice from the group, "if we are looking on the passing of the breed."
"Of all things in the world, don't you think caution's the most awful? Smell the moonlight!" She thrust the blossom against his face; Jon agreed giddily that of all things in the world caution was the worst, and bending over, kissed the hand which held his. "That's nice and old-fashioned," said Fleur calmly. "You're frightfully silent, Jon. Still I like silence when it's swift."

But now he, the man, loved her, the woman herself, frantically, with just a downright common human love.

For caution's sake, Lest thou should chance, a second time, to make An Eboli thy confidant. Ha! Now I see it all all is explained. Who's there? DUKE ALVA. The former. Prince, you are free. Deputed by the king I come to tell you so.
Now, the Captain, therefore, made the signal to the other boats to follow him in and lie by a while. The men who were off duty went ashore, and lay down, but were ordered, for caution's sake, not to stray, and to keep within view. The others rested on their oars, and dozed.
