If Amelia could have heard the comments regarding her which were made in the circle from which her father's ruin had just driven her, she would have seen what her own crimes were, and how entirely her character was jeopardised. Such criminal imprudence Mrs. Smith never knew of; such horrid familiarities Mrs. Brown had always condemned, and the end might be a warning to HER daughters.
But in and around Paris and at the front, I have talked with, dined with, and known many of these bird-men, both English, French and American, and have generally found them very human indeed, often shy, generally simple and unaffected, and always modest of their achievements and full of admiration for seamen and soldiers, and heartily glad that their lives are not jeopardised aboard ships, or submarines, or in muddy trenches; which sentiment I have heard fervently expressed not once, but many times.
If it should fall into the hands of a certain other power and be translated the entire negotiation would be jeopardised. Almost inevitably at least one Oriental nation would withdraw from the conference.
His eye devoured the beloved shore: he hugged the treasure his own ill luck had jeopardised but Robarts had sailed it safe into British waters and forgave the man his ill manners for his good luck. Robarts steered in for the Lizard; but, when abreast the Point, kept well out again, and opened the Channel and looked out for a pilot

They not only made no protest, but they prevented Greece from doing so. There remained to be reckoned with only Russia and Servia. Russia showed her displeasure by recalling every Russian officer then serving with the Bulgarian army; but she did not make war. Servia, fearful that this Bulgarian aggrandisement jeopardised her own future in the Balkans, made war.
"So man built things like the Myra, which, of course, was foolish?" "An' set out sailing around in a winter storm off Labrador, instead of basking in a pleasant tropical sun, which hasn't any sense."
