Only a strong man can go back over the Old Road to the beginning-point facing the memories that throng the path meeting the surging emotions that sweep away all our carefully-laid defenses braving the grim spectre that puts the white seal of age upon our heads.
For instance, if I had a friend buried in the cemetery here, to whom should I apply for identification of the grave?" The General screwed up his features into a judicial frown. "Well er I should go to the communal office in the village, if I were you," said he. Braving his mother's possible displeasure, George de Courcy Vavasour asserted his manliness for Beryl's benefit.
John a Gore Cross, where a chantry chapel once stood, a shrine where travellers might make their orisons before braving the terrors of the great waste. Tilshead met with a curious misfortune in 1841, according to the inscription on one of the cottages. Market Lavington is farther east on the Pewsey road.
I have fewer illusions; what I wish for now is active exertion a stake in life. Haworth seems such a lonely, quiet spot, buried away from the world. I no longer regard myself as young indeed, I shall soon be twenty-eight; and it seems as if I ought to be working and braving the rough realities of the world, as other people do.

During this time, the Iroquois were as dangerous to the French by their inroads and devastations as the Abenaquis were to the English colonies; accordingly Frontenac wished to subdue them. In the summer of 1696, braving the fatigue and privations so hard to bear for a man of his age, Frontenac set out from Ile Perrot with more than two thousand men, and landed at the mouth of the Oswego River.
Well! I too in these daily exhibitions where my life is at stake find a wild, fierce pleasure in braving death, before a crowded assembly, shuddering and terrified at my audacity. Yes, even in the fear with which this Englishman inspires me, I find, in spite of myself, a terrible excitement, which I abhor, and which yet subjugates me."
Sonoy, who was on his way to their rescue, was frustrated in his design by the unexpected faint-heartedness of the volunteers whom he had enlisted at Edam. Braving a thousand perils, he advanced, almost unattended, in his little vessel, but only to witness the overthrow and expulsion of his band. It was too late for him singly to attempt to rally the retreating troops.
