Pete was married, and lived in one of the cottages on the Oakwood estate, where he worked intermittently, sandwiching between thin slices of manual labor thick layers of less legitimate emprise. Independence Day, as the anniversary of the birth of our country's liberty, is not celebrated with enthusiasm in the South.

The whole city, stung by the apprehension of winter, had an atmosphere of emprise and energy. In this atmosphere, with a fairly clear comprehension of the elements which were at work making the colour of the life about him, was Eugene, digging away at the task he had set himself.

If thou lovest thy life, come not in such straits for her sake." "Nay, now, I care not how stark she be; I will journey, even as I have said, to Brunhild, and take my chance. For her great beauty I must adventure this. What if God prosper me, and she follow me to the Rhine?" "Then I counsel thee," said Hagen, "to ask Siegfried to share with thee this hard emprise.

'If I thought he had the bare idea, said Danton with something of Gargantuan hyperbole, 'I would eat his bowels out. Such was the disdain with which the 'giant of the mighty bone and bold emprise' thought of our meagre-hearted pedant. The truth is that in the stormy and distracted times of politics, and perhaps in all times, contempt is a dangerous luxury.

And after the aforesaid matters, Count Baldwin, laughing withal, asked his daughter wherefore she had so lightly accepted the marriage she had aforetime so cruelly refused. And she answered that she did not then know the duke so well as she did now; for, said she, if he had not great heart and high emprise, he had not been so bold as to dare come and beat me in my father's chamber."

And now, to my interest, I observed that each had resumed the black mask which they had worn earlier in our long voyage, sign of the desperate character of each wearer. "Whither away, Black Bart?" demanded L'Olonnois fiercely. "Lead, and we follow."

But, said he, or it be long too she will bring forth by God His bounty and have joy of her childing for she hath waited marvellous long.

The minstrels' jokes changed colour. As I look back, it seems to me that I can almost see with the physical eye the broad restless upheaval beneath the surface of all society. The Mexican war was just over, and the veterans young veterans all filled with the spirit of adventure turned eagerly toward this glittering new emprise.

Gonzaga looked at me. "Did you not say that here was another?" Galeotto smiled sadly. "Ay just one arm and one sword. That is all. Unless this emprise succeeds he is never like to rule in Mondolfo. He may be counted upon; but he brings no lances with him." "I see," said Gonzaga, his lip between thumb and forefinger. "But his name..."

"My child," said Lord Stafford when they had left the tavern behind and were on the old Roman road to Bath, "I have done ill in embarking upon this emprise, and more than ill in engaging thee in it also.
