"There is a little risk certainly, but I don't think there is a great one. Anyhow, the attempt must be made," said Alan quietly. Suddenly Lynde's composure forsook her. She wrung her hands. "I can't let you do it," she cried wildly. "You might be drowned there's every risk. You don't know the force of that backwater. Alan, Alan, don't think of it."
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?
The influence of the Saunders' arrogance and pride failed her suddenly; the memory of Stephen's bracing belief in the power to make anything possible forsook her. She was only little Susan Brown, not rich and not bold and not independent, unequal to the pressure of circumstances. She tried, with desperate effort, to rally her courage.

I fed upon roots, and in my bitterness I dug for the bitterest, loathing the sweeter kind. Digging, three days agone, I struck a manure mine! a Golconda, a limitless Bonanza, of solid manure! I can buy you ALL, and have mountain ranges of manure left!

At last she flew out of the room.
The blood of the Norseman in his veins burned with all the old Viking battle-thirst. The headlong valor which he had often shown on Norman plains now impelled him relentlessly forward. Yet his coolness and readiness never forsook him. The course of the battle ever lay before his eyes, its reins in his grasp.
All his strength forsook him; his well-strung nerves suddenly relaxed; his limbs gave way beneath him, and he must have fallen but for the strong arms that suddenly clasped him and the warm bosom that firmly supported him. Turning up his languid, fainting eyes, he saw "Ishmael!"

These are, however, in the spirit of the time. I apprehended that instinctively when at College. I forsook the classics for science.
