"I wouldn't mind doing it if I had her horse," put in Maurice Whitlow, smirking at the girls. "I think you could do that, Miss DeVere," and he looked at Alice. She turned away with only a murmured reply, but, nothing daunted, the "pest" went on: "Estelle is certainly a fine rider. I think she must have been a cowgirl on a ranch at one time, though she won't admit it."
On his soul, he swears it to me he will redeem his pledge. His mistress, did you say? His wife, Mrs. Glenarm, before the week is out!" In those wild words she cast back the taunt with the letter held in triumph in her hand. Daunted for the moment by the doubt now literally forced on her, that Anne might really have the claim on Geoffrey which she advanced, Mrs.
"I am quite aware of the fact," I said somewhat frigidly. In nowise daunted he went on, "Coming back just now I saw the big Nicolo the eccellenza has doubtless seen him often? he is a vine-grower, and they say he is the largest man in Naples three months since he nearly killed his brother ebbene!
With bulldog persistence he besieged the court of James II for a whole year, this rough-and-ready New England shipmaster, until he was given a royal frigate for his purpose. He failed to fish up more silver from the sands but, nothing daunted, he persuaded other patrons to outfit him with a small merchantman, the James and Mary, in which he sailed for the coast of Hispaniola.
Marie was an Austrian and knew how to manage that was different. And another thing troubled him.

"If we don't bear a hand, I fear the craft will sink under us." Such it appeared would probably be the case, but no one was daunted. All set to work and laboured away as manfully as before.

The British bayonets gleamed brightly in the sun, as, with steady tramp, the line of redcoats and bluejackets advanced at the charge.
Madame la Duchesse d'Orleans more timid still, addressed herself to Madame, and to Madame de Maintenon, who, indifferent as they might be respecting Madame la Duchesse de Berry, thought her departure so hazardous that, supported by Fagon, they spoke of it to the King. It was useless. They were not daunted, however, and this dispute lasted three or four days.
The assailants, nothing daunted, continued to batter at the door; but at this moment the monks, aroused from their beds, hastened to the spot, and seizing bill and sword for in those days even monks were obliged at times to depend upon carnal weapons they opened the door, and flung themselves upon the assailants with such force that the latter, surprised and discomfited, were forced to make a hasty retreat.
