Uncle Jim and Charley promptly annexed the slight overhang of the cliff whence the deer had jumped. It was dry at the moment, but we uttered pessimistic predictions if the wind should change. Tom Rich and Jim Lester had a little tent, and insisted on descending to the canon-bed. "Got to cook there, anyways," said they, and departed with the two pack mules and their bed horse.
He meant to operate in earnest now, which was exactly what the broker had anticipated, but in this case Edmonds had decided to let Hawtrey operate alone. Indeed, being an astute and far-seeing man, the broker had gone so far as to hint that caution might be advisable, though he had at the same time been careful to show Hawtrey only those market reports which had a distinctly pessimistic tone.
To a mind accustomed to the idea of unity in nature, such a proposition appears utterly indefensible. And yet, improbable and unphilosophical as it is, it has never found a lack of supporters. There always were writers who took a pessimistic view of mankind.
Detachments of volunteers and of soldiers were directed toward the locality where Kornilov was, to get information and to organize a propaganda among the troops that followed the General, and in case of failure to fight hand to hand. As they quit in the morning they did not know how things would turn; they were rather pessimistic with regard to the issue of the insurrection for the Socialists.
"Surely things are not so bad as they seem, Villiers," he said gently "Are you not taking a pessimistic view of affairs?" "Not at all!" and Villiers, warming with his subject, walked up and down the room excitedly ... "Nor am I judging by the narrow observation of any particular 'set' or circle.

There could be no possible chance of loss from a financial point of view. Their bonds were safe, for the loan itself was a perfectly legitimate transaction, a conclusion which could not be gainsaid by the most pessimistic of the objectors. Mr. Blithers would be paid in full when the time came for settlement, the bonds would be restored to their owners, and all would be well with Graustark.
Four days later at Château-Thierry, Americans proved not merely the moral but the practical value of their assistance. The German drive of the 27th of May, beginning on the Chemin des Dames, had pushed south to the Marne and westward towards Meaux. The French falling back in haste had maintained their lines intact, but were pessimistic as to the possibility of stopping the enemy advance.
"You are feeling ill and worried this morning, Lord Donal, and so you take a pessimistic view of life. You must not resign." "Oh, but I must. I have failed, and that is enough." "It isn't enough. You must do nothing until you reach London." "I like your word must, Jennie," said the young man audaciously. "It implies something, you know."
You will probably know in some degree what has happened to us how the hideous news first came to us via Auckland, etc., and then how, in the newspapers, a doubt was raised about its authenticity just enough to give one a flicker of hope; until your telegram to me via San Francisco repeated also from other sources converted my pessimistic convictions into the wretched knowledge.
