And Lancelot smote at the monster so that his spear brake in twain, yet had he not bruised it a whit, or pierced its hide; then he drew forth his sword and smote with great force, but he harmed it not, and it seized Lancelot by the throat and scored him in such wise that the knight was wroth thereof, for it tare a great rent through the hauberk even to the flesh, and wounded him sore.
V. Though one of the kindest and most affable of men, he was of a forbidding and severe countenance, so that men who did not know him well feared to address him when alone. Once when Chares in a speech mentioned Phokion's gloomy brow, the Athenians began to laugh. "Yet," said he, "his brow has never harmed you: but the laughter of these men has brought great sorrow upon the state."
"Look," said Ghek, then, "I have given your jeddak his life, nor have I harmed one of those whom I might easily have slain when they were in my power. No harm have I or my friends done in the city of Manator. Why then should you persecute us? Give us our lives. Give us our liberty." O-Tar, now in command of his faculties, stooped and regained his sword.
However, the footsteps quickly died away, though heard far off clattering amid the still and listening night; and Charles, thankfully, no less than cautiously, drew himself out of the stream, very little harmed beyond a drenching: for the waters had recovered him at once from the effects of that desperate blow. Thank Heaven!
"Yes, and oh, Uncle Richard, you can't know how I longed to see you, to tell you that I was alive and safe! I knew you would worry, but I didn't think you'd think me dead. I didn't think that till we got to Culm, and Dirk and all the rest trembled, and were actually going to run away from me!" "Then you have not been harmed?" said Trafford: "but oh, my boy, where were you on that awful night?"
After he had taken the old man, his father, he led him as a prisoner ten or twelve miles up the river, and then stepped before him, faced about, and addressed him in the following terms: "My name is John O'Bail, commonly called Corn Planter. I am your son! you are my father! You are now my prisoner, and subject to the customs of Indian warfare: but you shall not be harmed; you need not fear.
Lamoine, glaring at his partner and not understanding what had happened, hissed "You have turned traitor, Picard; you have informed, curse you!" "Keep quiet, you fool. Don't you see I am bound as tightly as you?" "There has been no traitor and no informing, nor need of any. A month ago tonight, Picard, there was blown into eternity a good and honest man, who never harmed you or any one.
"I would not that a hair of the young son of De Aldithely should be harmed," he said. "And what I dare not do, that thou must perform." "And what is that?" asked Elfric. "Thou must fray his bow-string so it will not be true, and thou must injure his arrows likewise." "Right willingly will I do so," promised Elfric.
And yet it would seem that, recalling that other conflict, he ought to have had no such apprehension, for he had done his best on that occasion to kill the Indian youth, who was not harmed at all, and overcame the creature that possessed ten times his strength. Whirlwind showed signs of fatigue before Deerfoot did. A comparatively clear path stretched in front.
"They would not have harmed thee, not even they, had they known." "But you see they did not know, and all was fish that came to their nets. Martin, don't thou ever think of them." "Hubert, thou hadst better go, and come back presently," whispered the chaplain, who felt that there were certain circumstances of which the boy might be better left ignorant, which nearly concerned his companion.
