The answer of the bee-hunter explained his purpose. He was merely ascending to have a lookout over the forest which in that neighbourhood could not be obtained by any other means than by the climbing of a tapang. It was fearful to watch the man ascending to such a dizzy height, and with such a flimsy, uncertain support beneath his feet.
Already we perceive that man's universe is no fixed order; and that the many ways in which he is able to apprehend it are earnests of a greater transfiguration, a more profound contact with reality yet possible to him. Higher forms of realization, a wider span of experience, a sharpening of our vague, uncertain consciousness of value these may well be before us.
For the truth must be told: he was morose and uncertain in his temper; and although all the other boys bore with him most generously, as one whom they had heard was born under some great misfortune, yet he was hardly a favourite amongst them; and the poor boy, sometimes perceiving this, would withdraw from his play, and sulk alone, resisting all the sober, kind inducements of Sam, and the merry, impetuous persuasions of Jim, to return.
Uncle Henry's office was a gloomy place, where I had had to endure long periods of waiting as a child when my mother took us in to the dentist, and had shopping and visiting of uncertain length to do. Uncle Henry himself was no favourite with me. He was harder than my father if you vexed him, and less genial when you didn't. And I wanted to go to sea.
Or, since she hadn't, I was sure that she would not have left that parcel in any other hiding-place. I put the flashlight back in my pocket, and started downstairs. Slowly I descended, for I still felt a little uncertain what to do. Should I wait for a short time, or go back home and return again later? I reached the foot of the stairs, and concluded to go home, and then think out my next step.
Without hesitation or difficulty the natives of the country passed over, trusting themselves without apparent concern to walk at that tremendous height along the rough surface of the primitive bridge, which afforded so uncertain and precarious a foothold. The captain, having the nerves and nimbleness of a sailor, followed them fearlessly and safely.
"He spoke much of the weak and uncertain condition of the Electoral house of Brandenburg, which he said rested upon only two lives, and would be extinct if the Electoral Prince Frederick William should perish by a sudden death." The count started, and a gray pallor overspread his face.
The duty is upon her in this poor world of being as attractive as she can, and yet she is held responsible for all the mischief her attractiveness produces. As if the blazing sun should be called to account by people with weak eyes. The month of February in all latitudes in the United States is uncertain. The birth of George Washington in it has not raised it in public esteem.
A man uncertain of his own power would have taken care that no other man of strong nature with a great following of his own should be there to dispute his authority. Lincoln did the very opposite. He had a sincere belief in public opinion, and a deep respect for the popular will.
"Then one day with me is not worth those many days of murder?" she asked in pretended astonishment. "Ask yourself why those many days would be doubly empty," he said so seriously that the pointless game began to confuse her. "Then" she turned lightly from uncertain ground "then perhaps we had better be about that matter of the cup you prize so highly. Are you ready, Mr. Siward?
