No one spark of divine fire has ever touched her soul or warmed the latent energies of her being. She has lived in the thick of the world, but love has passed her scatheless. Her mind, her intellect, her brain, are all alive, and sharpened acutely; her heart slumbers still. Happier for her, perhaps, had it never awakened.
Ah, if it comes to blame, who goes scatheless in this heritage of error? With such highly novel thoughts as these I descended the steps from my researches at the corner of Court and Chancel streets an hour earlier than my custom, because well, I couldn't, that day, stand Cowpens for another minute.
Quinborough was a little town of 3,000 inhabitants clustering round the gates of a great Whig Marquis, which had been spared, who can say why? at the first Reform Bill, and having but one member had come out scatheless from the second.
That is some consolation, though slight. But how do you know all this, Nance?" "Dunna ax me," she replied. "Whatever ey ha' been to Christopher Demdike, ey bear him neaw love now; fo', as ey ha towd yo, he is a black-hearted murtherin' villain. Boh lemme get up behind yo, an ey'n bring yo through scatheless. An to-morrow yo may arrest the whole band at Malkin Tower."
But he is yet loth to break his mind unto the maid, seeing that many perils do now seem to lie in the way of wedded priests, and he cannot tell if it were well done or no, that he should speak unto her.

One cannot whole-heartedly serve an ideal and come off scatheless.

Chromius and Aretus went also with them, and their hearts beat high with hope that they might kill the men and capture the horses fools that they were, for they were not to return scatheless from their meeting with Automedon, who prayed to father Jove and was forthwith filled with courage and strength abounding.
So I thought although I said nothing, for since we had come off scatheless, what did it matter? Well, this. It showed me that the signet of the Great King was indeed to be dreaded and coveted, even here in Egypt. If Idernes could get it into his possession, what might he not do with it? Cause himself to be proclaimed Pharaoh perhaps and become the forefather of an independent dynasty.
It is a game from which you will come out scatheless, but I have been scalded. 'Scalded! 'Well never mind. I do not mean to complain, and certainly not of you. 'I have come here all the way from Yorkshire in order that things may be put right between us. 'You have been very good, very good to come, and I will not say that I regret your trouble.
