"How about taking cover now and going on only at night?" suggested Shann. "Ordinarily, I'd say yes. But with time pressing us now, no. If we keep straight on, we could reach the foothills in about forty hours, maybe less. And we have to stay with the river. To strike across country there without good supplies and on foot is sheer folly." Two days.
For some reason or other it was necessary that they should be without the comfort, and help, and protection, of her presence in this world. We cannot understand it, but a time may come when we may see it all as clearly as we now see the folly of those children who so doted upon senseless rabbits' tails." "Oh, Aunt Judy, but it was still very, very sad."
As he had foreseen they had never ceased in the darkness, and he could not remember how many days and nights now they had been raining steel upon human beings. He was refreshed and strengthened by a night of good sleep, but his mind was as sensitive as ever. In the morning no less bitterly than at night he raged against the folly and ambition of the kings.
Hereafter I shall be astonished at nothing but that credulity which could give even momentary credit to your assertions. Most fortunately, my belief lasted only till you left the house. Then my scruples, which slept for a moment, revived, and I determined to clear up my doubts by immediately calling on Miss Jessup. If any thing can exceed your depravity, sir, it is your folly.
There was a Simon once would not have seen me weep. There was a Simon " " we are gathered together here in the sight of God " "You cannot do it, Simon, do I not know you to the marrow? Remember not me not the vain folly of my girlhood! but do you remember the man you have been, Simon Orts!" Fiercely Lady Allonby caught him by the shoulder. "For you do remember! You do remember, don't you, Simon?"
We know that the water has gathered from many a distant vein underground, but we do not see these. Or it is like the drawing up the curtain on the opening of a play the scene is then first revealed. Glacial Periods of Folly The moraines left by secular glacial periods of folly stretch out over many a plain of our civilisation.
There are those who seem to consider it a mark of manliness to affect indifference to them; but these, as they grow older become real men generally lay this bit of folly aside. Then there are those, plenty of them, who really do not know that they care for flowers. The boys, ushered for the first time in their lives into the full bloom of a conservatory, were, most of them, of this latter stamp.
Already we had suffered one year to pass away; and now, when the question was renewed, not only had this wretched argument been revived, but a proposition had been made for the gradual abolition of the trade. Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel? Alas! we might wait for ever. The river would still flow on.
"You will find her dressed now, Mr. Mason," said she; "but I conjure you, as you hope for mercy yourself, to be merciful to her. She is your mother, and though she has injured you by her folly, her heart has been true to you through it all. Go now, and remember that harshness to any woman is unmanly."
The narrow mind can command only that which lies close under observation; the fool and visionary only that which is far off. I will not blame you, for even the wisest has his hours of folly, but on this occasion you have certainly overlooked that which is at hand, in gazing at the distance, and I see you stumble in consequence.
