"It is clear," Ned said at last, "that if the mill is to be kept on we must use the new machinery. I was afraid it would be so, or he would never have taken to it and risked his life unless it had been absolutely necessary.
Hendrik and Arend wheeled their horses to the right; Willem turned to the left, and the huge monster rushed between them. For a moment it stopped, as if undecided which to pursue first. Had the three gone in the same direction, there probably would not have been an instant's hesitation, and one of them would have risked being overtaken.
It was talked of at the Amtmand's a house with two handsome daughters, where Lieutenant Beck was a daily visitor and it was in everybody's mouth how, all alone out on Torungen with her dying grandfather, she had been the means of saving the Juno, and had since risked her life on the ice.

And yet if you had come a week ago, I should have risked it all for your sake." Ventmore pressed the trembling figure to his heart passionately. Under his breath he swore that this hideous sacrifice should never be.
But, when the post-chaise came to convey bride and bridegroom on their little tour, and she had to leave Mrs. Wilson and Eve for a whole week, the tears would not be denied; and, to show how perilous a road matrimony is, these two risked a misunderstanding on their wedding-day, thus: Lucy, all alone in the post-chaise with David, dissolved a perfect Niobe gushing at short intervals.

She felt as though heaven must blast the lips that risked such a conjecture. "Well, it's this way. He's a name still, of course.
M. Lecoq's last words shed a ray of light upon it all, and the doctor cried, "Sauvresy!" "Yes Sauvresy," answered M. Lecoq. "And the paper which the murderer hunted for so eagerly, for which he neglected his safety and risked his life, must contain the certain proof of the crime." M. Plantat, despite the most significant looks and the direct provocation to make an explanation, was silent.

It is due to Rodney to say that he claims that his orders to the admirals at Jamaica and New York were disobeyed in 1781, and that to this was owing the inferiority in number of Graves's fleet.
"Why have you thus risked your life a life far dearer to me than my own? What has happened?" "This is what has happened, Valentine: our love-affair is the jest of the country around; our secret is a secret no longer." She shrank back, and, burying her face in her hands, moaned piteously.
