The priests on the other bank of the Nile were Bent-Anat's counsellors, and he had heard the princess spoken of as a devout and gifted maiden. Her incautious breach of the sacred institutions had seemed to him to offer a welcome opportunity for humiliating a member of the royal family.
She sang, not loudly, but almost under her breath, for pure pleasure, it seemed, but sometimes would break off and whistle, at which Jock was much shocked at first, but gradually got reconciled to, it was so clear and sweet. After awhile, however, he made an incautious step upon the brushwood, and the crashing of the branches betrayed him.
All idea of caution forgotten, he threw open the door and switched on the electric light. To outward appearances the room was empty. Darting over to where he kept his secret papers, he lifted a powerful Mazda lamp, the better to scan the prepared paper left where an incautious thief would be obliged to rest his hand with some degree of force.
Palgrave was always extreme; his language was incautious violent! In this year of all years, Adams lost sight of education. Things began smoothly, and London glowed with the pleasant sense of familiarity and dinners. He sniffed with voluptuous delight the coal-smoke of Cheapside and revelled in the architecture of Oxford Street.
In combats of sailing fleets you must look out sharp, or in some arrangement, otherwise plausible, you will have a ship sailing within four points of the wind before you know it. Nor is this the only way truth may be insulted. Times and distances also lay snares for incautious steps.
My wife, he was rude to me, insulting! but he had been drinking that made him incautious: and he continued to walk by my side towards his own lodging, on reaching which he ironically invited me to enter, saying, 'I should meet there men who would soon argue me out of my obsolete notions. You may go to him, wife, now, if you please. I will not, nor will I take from him a crust of bread.
That accounted for Bandy-legs' astonishing announcement that he would go out and gather some of the wood for the night. It also explained to Max just why he had been stout string that lay upon the trapper's table. This would be needed in the carrying out of his trick. But, like the incautious bear, Bandy-legs had also leaned too far over the top of the chimney.
Now you must tell me what part in the comedy you mean me to play; for the life of me I can't make it out." "Oh, Gerty, Gerty, do not speak like that!" he exclaimed. "You are breaking my heart! Is there none of the old love left? Is it all a matter for jesting?" She saw she had been incautious.
In a moment he was glad of this, for, becoming incautious, he fell. Both arms, put out to save himself, were embedded to the very shoulder straight down in snow that offered no bottom to his touch; when his next impulse was to move knees and feet he found that the points of his snow-shoes were dug deep, and his toes, tied to them, held the soles of his feet in the same position.
In tense expectation she waited, sensing some unusual development. They had reached her block now. Almost directly under her window the man in advance paused to light a cigarette. His shadow paused, too, but some incautious movement on his part must have betrayed him. Match in hand, the man in advance stood stock-still, his whole figure taut, poised, alert, in an attitude of listening.
