I suppose I don't need to tell you not to take any chances?" Van Lew shook his head and smiled. "Not while the dear girl whom, God willing, I'm going to marry, is a member of our car-party. I'm more likely to be over-cautious than reckless, Mr. Lidgerwood."
Then the thought rose in my mind I could handle any two of him, and if I give way now and he finds I am over-cautious or suspicious, it will only make it worse for me when I see him again. This was followed by a common-sense view of the whole situation. The mystery in it, after all, if there was any mystery, was one of my own making.
One solitary distant star Is all I have to guide me, A brighter orb than those of old That Palinurus lighted. And vaguely drifting am I borne, I know not where it leads me; I fix my gaze on it alone, Of all beside it heedless. But over-cautious prudery, And coyness cold and cruel, When most I need it, these, like clouds, Its longed-for light refuse me.
His excellence outweighed the objection, and he was the first Brahmin who received holy orders from an English bishop; but in after- times the heathen influence at home told upon him; and this failure perhaps rendered Bishop Daniel Wilson somewhat over-cautious and backward in ordaining a native ministry. The next stage was Delhi, where a very interesting interview awaited him.
Broglio, too, was unmanageable, piqued that Valori, not Broglio, had started the thing; showed himself captious, dark, hysterically effervescent, now over-cautious, and again capable of rushing blindly headlong. To Broglio the fact at Linz, which everybody saw to be momentous, was overwhelming. Magnanimous Segur, and his Linz "all wedged with beams," what a road have they gone!
But having no such chart, and being much engrossed in the game against the World and Destiny, we glanced for a moment at the dispatches, seeing nothing in them of interest to us, congratulated ourselves that we were not as other investors and speculators, and played on. Once in a while we found some over-cautious banker or broker who had inexplicable fears for the future.
Our position might be better, still it is one that I believe they would find difficult to take. So, in my opinion, we had better stop still and await developments." Stephen grumbled something about my being over-cautious, but I took no heed of him. One thing I did do, however.
Young blood often sways and leads in council and in action, especially when older minds are over-cautious or sluggish in decision. The words of Carausius and Helena carried the day with Coel the king, already smarting under a sense of ill-treatment by his Roman over-lords. The standard of revolt was raised in Camalodunum.
Not that Marius was always over-cautious. If the story be true, it is a sufficient reason for the Senate's conduct, inexplicable except by political reasons, in not employing Marius at all in the following year. On a general review of this piecemeal campaign it is plain that the Romans had been worsted.
I will have nothing to do with this; we have done enough for one day." Now again, as on the Alma, when the heights had been carried by storm, the fruits of victory were lost by our unenterprising, over-cautious allies. This, indeed, is the true story of Inkerman, as told on incontestable evidence of the great historian of the war.
