Let me illustrate with an incident which happened in my own observation. A small boy and girl had a nervous, ever worrying mother. She was assured that her boy was bound to come to physical ill, for he was so courageous, so adventuresome, so daring. To her he was the duck instead of the chicken she thought she was hatching out. One day he climbed to the roof of the barn. His sister followed him.
Across the whole world, and everywhere in triumph, that whimsical, adventuresome, madcap woman, of whose life as an actress so many stories were told, had carried the arrogance of the virgin warrior-maid conceived by the master Wagner.
So completely did he ignore his blindness that Monte, talking with him in the dark, found himself forgetting it awakening to the fact each time with a shock when it was necessary to offer an assisting arm. It was the man's enthusiasm Monte admired. He seemed to be always alert always keen. Yet, as near as he could find out, his life had been anything but adventuresome or varied.
Philippina’s whole bearing had something of the monstrous about it. Even her dress was picturesque, adventuresome. Her great brown straw hat, with the ribbon sticking straight up in the air, was shoved on to the back of her head so as not to spoil the effect of the fashionable bangs that hung down over her forehead.
Perchance, mimicked the old woman, aye, perchance! Think you the knight of Windeck will take such lads as you are for hostages? And in truth they were not an imposing couple the elder a slim, fragile youth, whose eyes were already tearful at the prospect of confronting his uncles captor; while the younger was a mere boy, sanguine and adventuresome as children often are.
If so, the beginning, to an adventuresome young spirit, seemed promising. It was Malvina's voice that recalled him from this train of musing. "Shall we go?" she repeated, and this time the note in her voice suggested command rather than question. Why not? Whatever had happened to him, at whatever plane of existence he was now arrived, the machine apparently had followed him.
But there is one statement which we especially commend to those in search of an effective military policy in the present crisis. Jefferson declares of the negroes, that they are "at least as brave as the whites, and more adventuresome." May not this truth account for the fact that one of the most daring deeds in the present war was done by a black man?
Every once in a while, an adventuresome youth seeks to restore the princess to her father, and he is as surely transformed into a swan. So, while the court is in mourning, the princess pines in the witch's castle and the swans wander about the castle yard."
We do not mean to san that before the coming of the Spaniards the natives did not gamble: the passion for grumbling is innate in adventuresome and excitable races, and such is the Malay. Pigafetta tells us of cock-fights and of bets in the Island of Paragua. But there is not the least doubt that the fostering of this game is due to the government, as well as the perfecting of it.
In a moment she went on swiftly, the eyes turned upon Drennen very bright, a flush of excitement in her cheeks. "My grandmother died soon after Paul Bellaire. They had just the one child, my father. He was no coward; no man ever dared say that of him; but he seemed to have none of the adventuresome blood of his parents. And yet that blood has come down to me!
