There could be little doubt, for instance, that this very ship's crew, though no unfavorable specimens of the nautical brotherhood, had been guilty, as we should phrase it, of depredations on the Spanish commerce, such as would have perilled all their necks in a modern court of justice.
The shrill rattle that followed proceeded from the metal bolts which an old servant of the sanctuary had shot into the sockets. Barine started, but neither inquired the cause of the noise nor perceived the wealth of objects here presented to the senses; for the man who, leaning on another's arm, approached the altar, was Dion, the lover who had perilled his life for her sake.
But not a heart there that did not bless the bell that sounded from the tower of St. Genevieve! 'My fathers perilled their blood and fortunes for the cause of the Sovereignty and Church of England, said Lyle to Coningsby, as they were lying stretched out on the sunny turf in the park of Beaumanoir, and I inherit their passionate convictions.

She feared that it was above the young ones, but it was delightful to herself, and the custom had better be established before it was perilled by attempts to adapt it to the children. Lucy and Sophy seemed astonished and displeased, and their whispers had to be silenced, Gilbert learnt his lessons apart.

Abraham did not intercede for Lot, but for the sinners in Sodom. He had perilled his life in warfare for them; he now pleads with God for them. Where had he learned this brave pity? Where but from the God with whom he lived by faith?
As he moved thus noiselessly along, he fancied that there was something in the bearing of the figure that reminded him of one he had previously known, but he had not time to pause upon the circumstance, for the officer was already within ten yards of his own door, and the delay of a single moment would not only deprive him of the opportunity on which he had perilled all in this world and in the next, but expose himself and his companion to the ignominy of discovery and punishment.
Or should he say it was Freedom for which he had fought? Was he then one whit more free in the reality of his being than he had been before? Or had ever a battle wherein he had perilled his own life, striking for liberty, conveyed that liberty into a single human heart?
"She has perilled her life for me," was his sole answer, "and were there any real peril, mine would be hazarded for her; but there is none 'tis but a child's work we are about to do, not even glory enough to call for envy."
