Call me a fool, whose wrath, over-leaped his prudence and sense of truth and honor. Call me a fool." "Oh!" "Quickly!" The cane rose. "God forgive me this disrespect! . . . Monsieur, you are a fool!" "A senile, doting fool." "A senile, doting fool!" repeated Jehan, weeping. "That is well. My candle. Listen to me." The marquis moved toward the staircase.
Very quickly he found that he must choose the easiest trails for Gray Wolf's feet. When they came to a space to be bridged by a leap, he would muzzle Gray Wolf and whine, and she would stand with ears alert listening. Then Kazan would take the leap, and she understood the distance she had to cover. She always over-leaped, which was a good fault.
The gulf between Richard Crawford and herself might have grown too wide to be over-leaped she might have become, to him, only a name to be regretted and yet despised but it was still something in life to know that he was true and worthy, even if he was to be nothing more to her; and the foot of the young girl trod more firmly upon the green sward of the pathway than it had done for many a long month, and half the languor was gone from eye and nerve, as she walked slowly homeward through the summer noon, to try that strange experiment upon which she felt that the happiness or misery of her whole future life might depend.
Her clear and practical mind saw starvation, over-leaped the slender food barrier that held hunger only a month away from them and wandered in a wilderness where nothing was. She had reached the rock surface now that stretched away level and smooth, broken by cracks and pot holes and strewn here and there with weed.
Existence was for him henceforth a dreary waste; and yet his only fault had been that in the ecstasy of heaven-sent passion he had over-leaped the bounds imposed by human pettiness. As I read on, his burning words seemed almost intended as a defence.
If such change be painful from lighter causes, it weighed with intolerable heaviness from the knowledge that the earth's desolator had at last, even as an arch-fiend, lightly over-leaped the boundaries our precautions raised, and at once enthroned himself in the full and beating heart of our country. Idris sat at the top of the half-empty hall.
If, then, women have in other and darker ages over-leaped the formidable barriers placed in their way, and thus benefited their respective nations, and sometimes the world, by their intrepidity, why should obstructions be placed in their path now, in this day of professed light and progress? Freedom, improvement, and righteousness ought to be the watchwords of the nations.
Even the little encounter with Ferd was related with more or less humor; and yet while Mrs. Morrison found herself compelled to smile at Dick's quaint description of the way in which Ferd over-leaped himself, at the same time a shade of worry crept over her face. "Oh! I hope he will not tell his father about it and try to lay the blame on your shoulders," she said, sighing.
Roaring, crashing onward, as though Mars or the Sun had opened its batteries upon us, those sliding, whirling worlds of snow swept through valleys large enough to have furnished sites for cities, without a check, and bore down or over-leaped all obstacles, as easily as a man would walk over an ant-hill, or some hollow where a toad had burrowed.
Fancying it must be some one in pursuit of me, I dropped the little broom I was using, seized my cap from one of the chairs, opened the back door of the cottage, and fled along the garden walk, over-leaped a hedge, crossed a brook, and was off like a hunted hare across the open fields.
