Montcalm let the parishes burn, and still lay fast intrenched in his lines of Beauport. He would not imperil all Canada to save a few hundred farmhouses; and Wolfe was as far as ever from the battle that he coveted. Hitherto, his attacks had been made chiefly below the town; but, these having failed, he now changed his plan and renewed on a larger scale the movements begun above it in July.
Peppino, too, shall be delivered. I will not take Massetti with me no, he is too rash and might imperil the success of the undertaking no, I will not take him, I will not even inform him of what I propose doing. The Cardinal will scarcely venture to refuse me. Should he hesitate, however, I will shame him into consenting, I will threaten him with invoking the aid of the French minister!
These things had been removed, with her sails and as much of the wire rigging as would not imperil the safety of the masts. "He must have sold those," said the skipper. "The other things are in his house, I suppose." Every fitting that could be pried or screwed out was gone.
Now, suddenly, I knew I must act, or, by forcing self-control, imperil my mind's stability. All strung to a sort of exaltation, I rose noiselessly and dressed myself with rapid, nervous hands. My every faculty was focussed upon a solitary point. Without and around there was nothing but shadow and uncertainty.
The discharge of the heavy battleship guns would bring about such an agitation of the air above as to imperil the delicate equilibrium of an airship. Nor must one overlook the circumstance that in such an engagement the Zeppelins would become the prey of hostile aeroplanes.
The mother's heart yearned towards the absent young ones. She made me no reproaches: but I could read her importunities in her anxious eyes, her terrors for me, and her longing for her children. "Why stay longer?" she seemed to say. "You who have no calling to this war, or to draw the sword against your countrymen why continue to imperil your life and my happiness?" I understood her appeal.
The squads in charge of Life and Fronklyn had each put in a volley from their carbines as soon as they were abreast of the Confederates, where they could fire diagonally at the enemy so as not to imperil their friends; and two of them had dropped out of their saddles, and doubtless others were wounded.
He went to the window and looked out, but the distance to the ground was so great for the room was on the third floor that he did not dare to imperil his life by attempting a descent. If there had been a rope at hand he would not have felt afraid to make the attempt. He examined the bed to see if it rested upon cords, but there were slats instead.
The narrow escape of the measure again created great uneasiness, not only among the Republicans in Congress but throughout the country. One or two more defections would imperil Republican control of the Senate. The loyalty of every member to his party was therefore scanned with closest observation.
For the United States to lie down before that insolent declaration of the German government would be to imperil everything which a lover of liberty held dear. It would mean that Britain would be starved out of the war, and British sea-power shattered that British sea-power upon which free government had based itself throughout the world.
