It fastened her inactive to the earth with a helplessness that was uncanny. It mixed the element of fear for him with the element of fear of him. "Remember I am of age and I don't mind," he added, with the faintest glint of satire in his reassurance. He was walking away, with a wave of his hand to Leddy; he was going over the precipice's edge after thanking the danger sign.
Afraid at first of a precipice's edge, I came to enjoy looking over into abysses and in spending a whole day climbing down into their depths, while Firio waited in camp. And at times I would cry out: 'Millions, I am strong! I am not afraid of you! I am not afraid of anything!

She ran forward swiftly, a hundred yards from the precipice's edge.
"It is likely to be a long road full of unexpected turns and perilously near the precipice's edge," he muttered in weary comment to himself. "Nothing to start from but " Here Sweetwater walked in.

He turned his horse slightly to the left, where a small group of mountain balsam, growing in a cleft of the granite, made a spot of shadow upon the very precipice's brink.
He could not at once decide on taking so bold and sudden a leap as that to which he was urged, though conscious of the peril as well as misery of his present position at the court. As the deer, driven by wolves to the precipice's brink, hesitates on making the plunge down though it give him the only chance of escape from the ravening jaws of his fierce pursuers so hesitated the wretched Pollux.
