"But you didn't save my life or anything like that, did you?" she adventured; like a vagrant in the sun. The blood was warm in her. She did not weigh her words. "I shouldn't like having my life saved. The necessity for feeling such a vast emotion I shouldn't know how to cope with it." "I will claim to have saved your other hand," he smiled. "You will be quite grateful enough for that."
Its obliteration was so great no life had adventured back into the desolated country, though the conflagration must have passed in the preceding autumn, many months ago. The burned country was a grave and the nearest edge of it, judged from the sepulchral stillness of the night, was many miles away.
But he had something, the subtle Celt; he had horizons, lifted lines beyond the common vision, and an eye rapt and a heart intrepid; and though for a long time he was unconscious of it, he must have adventured there with a happier confidence because of her companionship. From the first Advena knew no faltering or fluttering, none of the baser nervous betrayals.
She had once adventured to the law courts by herself, to see him in his wig and gown. Under that stiff grey crescent on his broad forehead, he seemed so hard and clever so of a world to which she never could belong, so of a piece with the brilliant bullying of the whole proceeding.

Some citizens spoke of victualling their houses as for a siege, and entirely secluding themselves and their families till the plague was overpast and indeed this was many times done with success, although the plan broke down in other cases but this was not Harmer's idea. He did indeed advise his wife and daughters to be careful how they adventured themselves abroad, and where they went.
We were smothered with spray and forced to cling frenziedly to the hands of our guide, but it was a part of our duty, and we did it. No one could rob us of the glory of having adventured so far. That night we resumed our seats in the smoking car, and pushed on toward Boston in patiently-endured discomfort.
Nothing less than the audacity of the unblushing Pietro Aretino could have adventured on this project; he claims the honour, and the critics do not deny it, of being the first who published Italian letters.
Absolutely, sir." He stopped in the doorway. "I daresay it was 'er beauty, sir, that did it. No chops. Quite so, sir." "If Blithers were only here," sighed Dank. "He would make short work of the female invasion. He would have them chucked overboard." "I beg pardon, sir," further adventured Hobbs, "but I fancy not even Mr.
But all of this history concerns the year just before America spoke to Germany; and in this town buried among the cornfields and the wheat, men still thought more about the price of grain than about the souls of nations. On the evening before Claire Boltwood left Minneapolis and adventured into democracy, Milt was in the garage.
