It did not occur to her that the mountains could work her ill, though she reminded herself that standing still was not the best way to keep warm on such a day. She started up again, ignorantly keeping among the trees, that a mountaineer would have shunned. But straightway she stopped and looked around her puzzled. Surely she had not come down this way when she skirted the manzanita.
But one night, under cover of darkness, and further concealed in a most cunning disguisement, a desperate burglar slid into his happy home, and robbed them all of everything.

Suppose that the question had risen within him, whether that Dread Being whom he "ignorantly worshipped," and against whom he had committed the offence, would forgive it; was there anything in his own soul, was there anything in the world around him or above him, that could give him an affirmative answer?
The time hath therefore arrived for thee to bear witness before man to the truth and to accept the blessed sacrament of baptism at his hands and to swear publicly that thou wilt have naught more to do with the heathen gods whom thy people ignorantly worship."
Surely if we leave them out the subject and the object of the cognitive relation float-in the same universe, 'tis true but vaguely and ignorantly and without mutual contact or mediation. Our critics nevertheless call the workings inessential.
