"Take your sleep, William, whenever you feel that you can get it. You won't find yourself in bed again till we get to Glasgow." ALTHOUGH the events that I am now relating happened many years ago, I shall still, for caution's sake, avoid mentioning by name the various places visited by Mr. Dark and myself for the purpose of making inquiries.
The disgracefully deceitful circumstances under which Mrs. Catherick had married, the purpose of concealment which the marriage was intended to answer, might well keep her silent for caution's sake, perhaps for her own pride's sake also, even assuming that she had the means, in his absence, of communicating with the father of her unborn child.
"I was a confiding fool then and trusted my friends. It cost me something." "And now you're afraid to let anybody pass your logs in the dark? Well, caution's useful, but it can be overdone." "Why did you want to pass the pond?" "For one thing, because it's the easiest way of getting from the smithy to the track; then this piece of hillside doesn't belong to you.
They're a turbulent lot, but you might send a present to the headman at the native town up river, and it's possible he'll let you go to see him. For all that, some caution's indicated. The fellow's a cunning old rascal." Brown looked thoughtful, but began to talk about something else and by and by got up.
Now, as he drew nearer, the voices became louder. He could distinctly hear the rise and fall of their tones, but still they were unrecognizable. Again he paused, this time for caution's sake only. He estimated that he was within twenty-five yards of the stable. It would not be safe to go further. The steady murmur that reached him was tantalizing.
Already within hailing distance, they might hear one another's voices; but neither being aware of this mutual proximity, all advance in silence the trio on horseback proceeding at a slow pace for caution's sake, lest the tread of their animals should betray them. But if their own be not heard afar, there are other hoofs making a noise to disturb the stillness of the night.
Armadale might be perverse enough, at his enviable age, to recover sooner than his medical advisers might have anticipated." For caution's sake, therefore, Mr. Bashwood was instructed to begin watching the arrival of the tidal trains on the day after he had received his employer's letter.
Peter looked at her and then, quickly, for caution's sake, looked elsewhere. "But there were other things to be taken into account," he said. The Duchessa raised her eyes. "What other things?" they gravely questioned. "Would n't his telling her have been equivalent to a declaration of love?" questioned he, looking at the signet-ring on the little finger of his left hand. "A declaration of love?"
I at once slackened my pace, so as to avoid all appearance of being in a hurry, and even went the length, for caution's sake, of inquiring if she thought of going out before lunch. She smiled at me in the friendliest manner said she preferred remaining near the house, nodded pleasantly, and re-entered the hall.
"Of all things in the world, don't you think caution's the most awful? Smell the moonlight!" She thrust the blossom against his face; Jon agreed giddily that of all things in the world caution was the worst, and bending over, kissed the hand which held his. "That's nice and old-fashioned," said Fleur calmly. "You're frightfully silent, Jon. Still I like silence when it's swift."
