She'd fain be like Marty South think o' that! That's the top of her ambition! Perhaps she's right. Giles, she loved you under the rind; and, what's more, she loves ye still worse luck for the poor maid!" If Melbury only had known what fires he was recklessly stirring up he might have held his peace. Winterborne was silent a long time.
What the stone mason had recklessly vaunted to Adelle as "anarchism," the judge recognized as a healthy reaction against unworthy human institutions, the idiom in him of youth and hope and will. And he could understand, now that he was face to face with the vigorous young man, the reason why Adelle had been drawn to the stone mason from that first time when she had discharged him from her employ.
But of course there was nothing for her to do but comply, and she made no comment on the arrangement. She pushed her chair back and rose to go. "Are you alone in the world?" he asked abruptly then, "Yes; I oh yes." It was too much for him. "How would you like," he asked recklessly, "to have me get you transportation out West?" She sank back in her chair. Every particle of colour had left her face.
Money was recklessly borrowed and as recklessly squandered. The king's pride became insane, and it was fed with dreams of winning the Imperial crown through the deposition of Wenzel of Bohemia. The councillors with whom he had acted since his resumption of authority saw themselves powerless. John of Gaunt indeed still retained influence over the king.
I carried a stick in my hand, I had no thought of using it. But I found him lying full-length upon the grave with his lips pressed to the earth of it, whispering to her who lay beneath him.... I called to him to stand up and he did. I bade him, if he dared, repeat the words he had used to my face, to me, the father of the girl he had married, and he did triumphantly, recklessly.
Moved by her memories of better things, of a better love and dreams and ideals, she had spent a little hour or two in sentimental regret for that which she had so recklessly cast aside.
"I don't care," said Polly, recklessly, pushing back the little rings of brown hair from her brow, "they'll be good enough, the pictures you are going to do, to put into the Louvre, anyway, Adela Gray." Tom Selwyn had been very sober during all this merry chatter; and now in his seat across the narrow aisle, he drummed his heels impatiently on the floor.
"If we'd had a ship that wasna rotten to the hairt, like her owners, we'd ha pu'ed through." "Right you are, old Sandy! But we're all goin' together, captain and owners and the whole bilin'," yelled Miggs recklessly. The mate looked at him half in surprise and half in contempt. "You've been at the bottle," he said.
To be sure, this has the advantage that a failure in one vocation does not bring with it such a serious injury as in Europe, but it contributes much to the greater danger that any one may jump recklessly and without preparation into any vocational stream. It is fresh in every one's mind how during the last decade the economic conscience of the whole American nation became aroused.
I looked longingly at the box-seat, but he did not respond to the appeal. I flung my carpetbag into the chasm, dived recklessly after it, and before I was fairly seated with a great sigh, a creaking of unwilling springs, complaining bolts, and harshly expostulating axle, we moved away.
