Fortunately Lionel's boast was not a vain one, and he reached the shore before I did, laughing and wringing the water out of his clothes. "Well, it's good to be on dry land once more at any rate," he said, as I waded ashore, "isn't it?" "Yes," I agreed, looking about to see if I could discover any traces of Shin Shira in the dusk.
Fortunately, her manner somewhat modified the rudeness of her words and the ill humor of her tone carried no conviction. "You cannot come in. I did not invite you! I have no room!" Instead of being angry, one, the Count Rosso, answered her in a voice that was half jesting, half conciliatory, in the familiar second person singular: "But thou art quite mad, my dear!
"Get every move of that, Russ!" called Mr. Pertell. But there was not much more to get, for with the next buck Mr. Bunn's hold was loosened and away he shot, out of the saddle. Fortunately he landed on a pile of hay and was not hurt beyond a shaking up. But Russ got a good picture of the whole scene. The actor picked himself up, and without a word started for the ranch house.
Napoleon perceiving it, repeated his order. Fortunately, the artillery of the reserve advanced at that moment, to take a position on the conquered heights; Lauriston had obtained the emperor's consent to that manoeuvre, but it was rather a permission than an order.
Fortunately it was a success for him; all the full-blown peonies, who did not understand much of his poetry, thought him a handsome man, with his blue eyes, and their ardent, melancholy glance; and they applauded him as much as they could without bursting their very tight gloves.

Fortunately, Checkers, in Little Rock, had but a few moments to wait for the outgoing train after receiving the message; but every moment of the journey was torture; every delay at way-stations, agony. When, after what seemed to him like years, they at last pulled into Clarksville, he jumped from the moving train to the platform.
Imagination itself, however lofty, wild, or daring its flights, cannot quit the universe matter is its prison, where, like Sterne's starling, it is 'caged and can't get out. Fortunately, however, imagination, though a prisoner, has abundance of room to legitimately exercise itself in.
Mademoiselle Hortense had fortunately gone back to settle with the porter, so this observation passed unheard. The man being dismissed, she came back, carrying the parcel. It was evidently heavy, and she put it down on the nearest chair. "I fear, Madame Bouïsse," she said, "that I must ask you to help me with this. I am not strong enough to carry it upstairs."
But then, fortunately, there is no great difficulty in avoiding them, the love of life and health having more sway over men of understanding, than any satisfaction they could find in doing what must be extremely hurtful to their constitution.
