The coat seems to be its midsummer holiday uniform which is laid aside when it goes back to the marshes to hibernate in the fall. Wild creatures so unafraid are sure to have means of protection that do not at once appear. In the case of the newt it is evidently an acrid or other disagreeable secretion, which would cause any animal to repent that took it in its mouth.
Polly stood hesitating, razor in hand, and then sat down. He was trembling violently, but quite unafraid. He drew the blade lightly under one ear. "Lord!" but it stung like a nettle! Then he perceived a little blue thread of flame running up his leg. It arrested his attention, and for a moment he sat, razor in hand, staring at it.
And the LAW is All there Is. And in that Law we may rest Content and Unafraid. May this Realization be YOURS. We have now reached a most interesting point in this course of lessons, and a period of fascinating study lies before us from now until the close of the course.
He forgot himself, and looked up at his mistress, a wonderful, slim little thing standing there at last unafraid before the future and in his dog heart and soul a part of the truth came to him, and he planted his big feet squarely in front of Jed Hawkins, and snarled at him as he had never snarled before in his life.
Hated and hooted by the multitudes who at one time followed Him gladly, deserted even by the twelve who had pledged to Him their lives, misunderstood, despised, condemned, spat upon a stranger even to His mother and His brethren what a fate was this! And what consummate heroism was needed to meet it unafraid!
And there were dangers enough already. Highly dangerous, Jean reflected in the back of his head as he backed out with a bow. A young girl unafraid of the morning sun and sitting at a little breakfast table as fresh as herself that was a picture for a war-weary man. Jean forgot for a moment his anxiety for Henri's safety in his fear for his peace of mind. For a doubt had been removed.
Her laughter, cool and unafraid, sent a strange little thrill through Bud Lee who, with fear in his heart, was watching her. "Look out for him now!" he called warningly. In truth the Prince had not yet begun. He had tried a trick which would have unseated any but one who rode well. He knew that he had to do with something more than a rank amateur.
The children went outside the stockade and brought green boughs and August wild flowers, bearing the early autumn colors of gold and scarlet. With these they bedded the child in his plank coffin, unafraid of his waxen sleep. Before Croghan went to report to his General, he asked me where we should bury the little fellow. "In the fort, by the southern blockhouse," I answered.
"Ah," laughed Leclair, "the ball has opened, eh? Well this is now no time for talk, for empty words. I think I understand you, my Captain; and to the death I stand at your right hand!" Their palms met and clasped, a moment, in the firm grip of a compact between two strong men, unafraid. Then each drew his pistol, crouching there at the windows of the pilot-house.
He was quite unafraid and had a rather bored look on his face. Two men were walking beside him. One of them, a Corporal, who a few hours before had complained that we were having no excitement, was saying in a strained, halting voice, that he felt very unwell, that he had hurt his knee, and would like to go back to camp.
