He had spotted the place some days before and ascertained that it was empty, and when he found that Sir Horace had returned alone he decided to break in, and, covering Sir Horace with a revolver, try to extort money from him. A riskier but more profitable game than burgling an empty house if it came off. With his revolver in his hand he made his way up to the library.
He laughed uneasily, his eyes on the black gash into which the foaming river darted. "Oh, I don't know; I've heard of men doing riskier things than that for money," he returned. Agnes Horton's excitement and concern seemed to pass with his words. She propped her chin in her palms and sat pensively, looking at the broken waters which reared around the barrier of scattered stones in its channel.
Hence the simple islands, following the law: and don't think t hat their efficacy is a thing riskier than arithmetic itself" "Good", went Loveday. "But, Richard captain your islands with decent men". "You have something on your mind: what is it?" "It is delicate. Have I your permission to speak?" "Why, John, yes". "Well then is O'Hara to be an Admiral?" "Old Pat? Hardly, I think. He may.
He preferred manlier crime and riskier deception to reviewing. As he read over the tales of rogues, he says, he became again what he had been as a boy, a necessitarian, and could not "imagine how, taking all circumstances into consideration, these highwaymen, these pickpockets, should have been anything else than highwaymen and pickpockets."
The captain's waitin'; and the cars well, every minute I lose makes it riskier and riskier; and your aunt Maria, she's always so uneasy, you know!" The girl was not hurt by his anxiety about himself; she was more anxious about him than about anything else. She quickly lifted her head, and drying her eyes, kissed him, forcing her lips into the smile that is more heart-breaking to see than weeping.
But, uncomfortable as he was, and much as he felt like a seasick balloonist, he did not know in what a lucky position he was, nor how happy he should have been that it was not even riskier. There is some comfort, or there ought to be, in the fact that a situation is never so bad that it might not be worse.
When the prey is solidly bound, a prick is carefully administered with the poison-fangs; then the Spider retires, waiting for the death-throes to calm down, after which the huntress comes back to the game. In these conditions, there is no serious danger. In the case of the Lycosa, the job is riskier.
In fact, Gorman, my experience of these women with artistic souls is that the riskier the thing is the better they like it." That is, as I have noticed, one of the great differences between a commonplace, so to speak, religious soul and a soul of the artistic kind. You save the one by keeping it as clean as you can. The other seems to thrive best when heavily manured.
"It's a little riskier comin' back alive," she said, with a levity that died on her lips, for a singular nervousness, half fear and half expectation, was beginning to take the place of her relief of a moment ago. "Then it was you who was prowlin' round and makin' tracks in the far pasture?" "Yes; I came straight here when I got away."
Waving each other a ceremonious adieu the two leaders were left no wiser than before. Nombre de Dios, now strongly reinforced and on its guard, was not an easy nut to crack. But Panama? Panama meant a risky march inland and a still riskier return by the regular treasure trail. But with the help of the Maroons, who knew the furtive byways to a foot, the thing might yet be done.
