By the exercise of tact the number of men quartered in one's house might be reduced; and why should one provoke the hostility of a person on whom one's whole welfare depended? Such conduct would savor less of bravery than of fool-hardiness. And foolhardiness is no longer a failing of the citizens of Rouen as it was in the days when their city earned renown by its heroic defenses.
Thereupon, in utter fool-hardiness, backed by the groom, he undid the door a little way, and, his companion undertaking to prevent it from opening too far, pushed in the pole till it went right in the creature's face. One hideous yell and neither of them knew what was occurring till they saw the tail of the panther disappearing over the six-foot wall that separated the cages from the stableyard.

"What deviltry has bewitched you?" cried Tom passionately. "Already once to-night you have risked our lives by your fool-hardiness, for the sake of this woman, eh? By gad, man, I begin to see. But I tell you now, I refuse to be a victim to your madness." "Mais non, Monsieur Pembroke," Claire cried again. "By all that is good and holy, I swear to you, that that which I have said is true.
Going into a man's house in the face of all Fifth Avenue and the teeth of decency!" "She has courage," said Sylvia, still very white. "Courage! Do you mean fool-hardiness?" "No, courage the courage I lacked. I knew he was too ill to leave his room and I lacked the courage to go and see him." "You mean, alone?" "Certainly, alone." "You dare tell me you ever contemplated " "Oh, yes.
His robust, hardy frame, used to exposure in all weathers his daring courage, as displayed in his perilous dealing with the adder, bordering upon fool-hardiness his mental depravity and immoral habits, fitted him for all the military glory of rapine and desolation.
The excessive heat, and the fact that the spray was frequently dashed over the edge, put a stop to this fool-hardiness; but at a more rational distance we stood gazing, with our feelings of wonder and awe so intensely excited, that we paid no regard to the entreaties of our guide to quit the spot.
They make use of Antiochus because of his connection with Zenobia, and the influence he would exert through that prejudice, and because of his sway over other families among the richest and most powerful, especially the two princes, Herennianus and Timolaus and because of his fool-hardiness. If they should fail, he, they imagine, will be the only or the chief sacrifice and he can well be spared.
Many another woman has at equal peril to herself made her complaint and it has fallen upon the deaf ears of officials, and the poor slave has had to settle with her masters for her fool-hardiness. Now we will return to Hong Kong, and to past history. We will cite just one more case to show something of the reluctance of officials there to prosecute the traffickers in human flesh.
I was almost driven to cry out through terror, though I believe it was only the cat, whom I had disturbed from her slumbers on a rug at the door of the room occupied by my sisters. I was, I may say, constitutionally brave, almost to fool-hardiness, and yet on this occasion I felt the veriest coward in existence.
