Yet would that tale hardly be stranger than was the truth, that not one of the wild creatures, either beast or bird, had harmed our king's sacred head. And how it should be so preserved in that place I cannot tell, but I say what I saw. Yet his body was not so preserved in the place where we had hidden it.
Your up-to-date criminal presses the button of a social mechanism, and at the other end of the land or the year innocent lives are snuffed out. As society grows complex, it can be harmed in more ways. Each advance to higher organization runs us into a fresh zone of danger, so there is more than ever need to be quick to detect and foil the new public enemies that present themselves.
His eyes glittered at Murk through the slits in the handkerchief. "You are not going to be harmed, my man if you are reasonable," he said. "Reasonable about what?" Murk demanded. "We want some information and we think you can give it to us; that is all." "I don't know much," said Murk. "Tell us why you were prowling around that house near the Park." "Maybe I was takin' a walk," Murk answered.
The next day, Sunday, at 10 A.M., she reached, in her wanderings, the house of John Beebe, near a place called Evans, having traveled constantly eighteen hours, and a distance of not less than twenty-five miles. All night the wolves growled around her, but harmed her not; neither was she in the least frightened by them.
Had you bid me love the man of whom I spoke, and make him my son-in-law and heir, I would have obeyed you; and what if I obey you now, and send the man to win himself immortal fame?

It was impossible that the party should not view with solicitude their entrance into Miles Cañon, though Tim assured his friends that much more dangerous rapids would remain to be passed.

Although the raft was tossed about like a cockleshell, it went through without injury, and none of the goods were displaced or harmed.
"Mrs Stirling," exclaimed Ellen Wilson, "I canna but wonder that one that has had the troubles you have had, should have so little consideration for other folks. Do you not see that you are vexing the bairns?" "Weel, it's not my design nor my desire to vex them, poor things! It never harmed me to get a friend's sympathy; though it's little ever I got. I'll not trouble them."
And after that the creatures of the forest were never harmed and they grew up so tame they would wander right up to the castle, where the king's men would feed them.

"Well, in the course of my promenade I came to a couple of fellers setting half-buried in the sand, and just as I was passing one of them got up sort of on all-fours and er facing away from me sabe? That's where the trouble hatched.
In any case she would be finding pleasure of her own and would touch nothing which could be harmed. When the child found herself in the entrance hall she stopped a few moments to look about her. The stillness seemed to hold her and she paused to hear and feel it. In leaving the basement behind, she had left the movement of living behind also.
