"Thank your Ladyship kindly," Miss Brennan said with one of the dips which perhaps kept her limbs "souple" as she said. "I'll be glad o' the dry sticks. The green do be makin' me cry. All the same I like to pick up sticks. Isn't it what the Lord sends us, what matter if they're green itself. 'Tis the chancey things I love havin' the musharoons and the blackberries, straight from God, I call them.
Pinkey's arrival had cheered him wonderfully. Now when that person observed tentatively that $1,800 was "a good little stake," Wallie blithely offered to count it. "You got it with you?" Wallie nodded. "That's chancey," Pinkey commented. "They's people in the country would stick you up if they knowed you carried it."
Uncle Jabez had said that girls were of little use in the world, anyway unless they settled down to housekeeping. The times Ruth had been of aid to him were, as he said, "just chancey."
"You don't really suppose " The captain burst into a laugh. "What? Those two?" he said. "No, no, I was only jokin'. I don't know about Hannah single women her age are kind of chancey but I do know Caleb. He ain't takin' a wife to support, not unless she can support him.
I was just telling this horse of mine all I was going to do to him. Say, you're a chancey bird, Swan, yelling from the brush like that. Some folks woulda taken a shot at you."

"I am sure it would," said Grizel. Mr. Cathro was rubbing his hands together covertly, yet half wishing he could take her aside and whisper: "Be canny; it's grand to hear you, but be canny; he is looking most extraordinar meek, and unless he has cast his skin since he was a laddie, it's not chancey to meddle with him when he is meek."
In them the men who played the most important part in the Revolutionary period received their early education. The Adamses, Chancey, Cooper, Cushing, Hancock, Mayhew, Warren, and the rest breathed their bracing atmosphere.
A second boat expedition from Kingston failed, Sir James Yeo, conceived that he might out cut of Sackett's Harbour the new American ship Pike, the equipment of which Commodore Chancey was superintending. He arrived at the mouth of the harbor, but the enemy having accidentally heard of his errand, Sir James abandoned a scheme that could only have been effected by surprise.
November weather on Cape Cod is what Captain Elisha described as "considerable chancey." "The feller that can guess it two days ahead of time," he declared, "is wastin' his talents; he could make a livin' prophesyin' most anything, even the market price of cranberries."
