From his utter disregard of what was said of him, and his carelessness for his honour, which, though it was mere shameless impudence and apathy, was thought by some to show firmness and true courage, he was pleasing to no party, but frequently made use of by the people when they wished to have a scurrilous attack made upon those in power.
"Still, you would be deeply, bitterly disappointed if I didn't." "Perhaps I should," admitted Nora. "I suppose you might as well stay," she added with affected carelessness. "Thank you," retorted Hippy. "But I had made up my mind not to move." "Had you?" said Nora indifferently, turning her back on Hippy and addressing Tom Gray.
Sending off detached columns, who moved round, and unseen by the Dutch, who acted with as great carelessness as if their foes had been 500 miles away he took possession of the roads on the dykes leading not only to Fort Lille on the Scheldt, but to Bergen op Zoom, and fell suddenly upon the Dutch army on all sides.
"I dare say," ses George, "I dare say. But you'll come along with me to the wharf and see the skipper. I'm not going to lose five-and-twenty quid through your carelessness." I marched along in front of 'im with my 'ead in the air, and when he spoke to me I didn't answer him.

Of all the sights of that melancholy traverse, this the most disheartened me, whatever had been my carelessness of life before. It was now almost scorn. The thoughts fell heavy on my mind. What was I, when such victims were prepared for sacrifice? What was the crush of my obscure hopes, when the sitters on thrones were thus leveled with the earth?
It was revealed to her as in a blaze of light that, after all, he was the one and only man who could be everything to her. His frankness, his cynicism, his mockery, his carelessness, his courage, and the power of his mind matched her moods completely. She threw away all semblance of concealment. She ignored the fact that he had married at her wish. She was queen. She desired him.
