'This proposal again alarmed the Baron, who could scarcely believe, that the stranger meant to draw him to so solitary a spot, at this hour of the night, without harbouring a design against his life, and he refused to go, observing, at the same time, that, if the stranger's purpose was an honourable one, he would not persist in refusing to reveal the occasion of his visit, in the apartment where they were.
The men and the women were the rudest savages, knowing nothing of the arts, dressing in skins and uncleanness, harbouring in caves and the tree-tops. The beasts roamed about where they would, and hunted them unchecked." "Still, they fought you for their liberty?" "Never once. They knew how disastrous was their masterless freedom.
I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my own husband and for Alice; but can it be expected of me to go on harbouring.... Lawford listened on in vain for a moment; poor Sheila, it seemed, had all but broken down. 'Look here, Mrs Lawford, began Danton huskily, 'you really mustn't give way; you really mustn't. It's awful, unspeakably awful, I admit.
If it is only the drainage of a garden that is undertaken, a few pounds will meet the cost, but if it is a great dismal swamp of many miles in area, harbouring all manner of vermin, and breeding all kinds of deadly malaria, that has to be reclaimed and cultivated, a very different sum will not only be found necessary, but be deemed an economic investment.
Germain soon afterwards arrived from Akaitcho and informed us that he left him in good humour and apparently not harbouring the slightest idea of quitting us. On the 12th we sent four men to Fort Providence, and on the 17th Mr. Back arrived from Fort Chipewyan, having performed since he left us a journey of more than one thousand miles on foot.
Though dew-dark when we set forth, there was stealing into the frozen air an invisible white host of the wan-winged light born beyond the mountains, and already, like a drift of doves, harbouring grey-white high up on the snowy skycaves of Monte Cristallo; and within us, tramping over the valley meadows, was the incredible elation of those who set out before the sun has risen; every minute of the precious day before us we had not lost one!
But he wished very much that Wrykyn should be represented, and also he sympathised with Sheen's eagerness to wipe out the stain on his honour, and the honour of the house. But, like Drummond, he could not help harbouring a suspicion that this was a pose. He felt that Sheen was intoxicated by his imagination.
The first of these treated by Aquinas is avarice, which he defines as 'superfluus amor habendi divitias. Avarice might be committed in two ways by harbouring an undue desire of acquiring wealth, or by an undue reluctance to part with it 'primo autem superabundant in retinendo ... secundo ad avaritiam pertinet superabundare in accipiendo. These definitions are amplified in another part of the same section.
Possibly our floor, that, in spite of a daily brooming and a weekly sluicing, is ever well carpeted with dust and mud, is one source of these pests. And, now I think of it, there is a nightly scuffling underneath the boards, which leads to the conclusion that pigs, dogs, and fowls, are harbouring among the piles beneath.
Masters and mates of colliers, and of vessels laid up for the winter, came under this head; but masters or mates of vessels detected in running dutiable goods, or caught harbouring deserters from the fleet, could be summarily dealt with notwithstanding their protections. The same fate befell the mate or apprentice who was lent by one ship to another.
