"Well, I must be off," the man went on. "I've done my duty in warning you." "Yes, you have," agreed Tom, "and if any damage comes to us it will be our own fault. But I don't believe there will." The man hastened out, murmuring something about "rash and foolhardy people." "What are you going to do, Tom?" asked Ned. "Stay right here." "But if the dam bursts?"
This letter contains statements, my lovely child, which I Nay, don't be troubled; the roses on your cheeks are glowing enough already, and for their sake I will not mention its contents; only they force me to ask the question come nearer whether, though it caused you great annoyance that a certain young Swiss knight forced his way into your father's house under cover of the darkness, you do not hope with me, the more experienced friend, that this foolhardy fellow, misguided by ardent love, with the aid of the saints to whom he is beginning to turn, may be converted to greater caution and praiseworthy virtue?

"I hope from my heart the wound will give you little trouble." His good right hand closed over hers for an instant and then clasped Dorothy's warmly, lingeringly. "You must let us hear from you to-morrow," said she, softly.
After endeavoring to dissuade us from what he called a foolhardy undertaking, even with the most valuable papers, he sent us, with his interpreter, to the Kuldja Tootai for the proper visé. That dignitary, although deeply interested, was almost amused at the boldness of our enterprise.
They hadn't figured on this when they left the nets and boats to follow. There had been a rosy glamour filling impulsive Peter's self-confident sky. Now this black storm cloud! Then to Peter's foolhardy daring came words spoken with a new intense quietness that made the words quiver: "If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and 'Follow Me."
"Sacredie!" he screamed, first pointing to the gathering storm and then to the crosses that marked the fate of other foolhardy voyageurs, "Allez si vous voulez! Pour moi je n'irai pas; ne voyez pas le danger!"
"Yes, as that of the foolhardy leader of an armed troup." "He is a hero perhaps the Redeemer." "And it was for him that you charged me to load my next corn vessel to Joppa with swords, shields and lance-heads?" "And are none but the Romans to be permitted to use iron?"
