"Perhaps," put in Deulin, hastily, between two of Julie's solemn utterances. "Perhaps she is thinking of her brother Prince Martin. He is always getting into scrapes ce jeune homme." But Netty shook her head. She did not mean that sort of thought at all. "It is your romantic heart," said Deulin, "that makes you see so much that perhaps does not exist."
I have also taken great pains, with what success I know not, to correct impatience, irritability and other like faults in my own character and this not because I care two straws about my own character, but because I find the correction of such faults as I have been able to correct makes life easier and saves me from getting into scrapes, and attaches nice people to me more readily.
"To be or not to be" give up the widow or give up his darling Snarleyyow a dog whom he loved the more, the more he was, through him, entangled in scrapes and vexations a dog whom every one hated, and therefore he loved a dog which had not a single recommendation, and therefore was highly prized a dog assailed by all, and especially by that scarecrow Smallbones, to whom his death would be a victory it was impossible.
Sam was a stupid fellow too, as are many bad people, and it seemed strange that he did not get into more scrapes than he did. Why, it would have been hard to say, except just for this cause, that Sam was a bad man and the farmer was a good one.
Will. Then you would make one believe, after all, that trade or business must be sinful in itself, since it brings a man into all these snares and scrapes. Stock.
Then, God preserve her: the little one had to take her chance. Ditte took it as it came and could be thankful that she was with her grandparents. She was an inquisitive little being, eager to meddle with everything; and a miracle it was that the firewood did not fall down. Hundreds of times in the day did she get into scrapes, heedless and thoughtless as she was.
However, as there was no help for it, I walked up and down the deck as before, with my hands in my pockets, thinking of old Ireland, and my great ancestor, Brien Borru. And so I went on behaving myself like a real gentleman, and getting into no more scrapes, until the fleet put into the Cove of Cork, and I found myself within a few miles of my father's house.
He reproached himself with the little gratitude he had shown towards this kind lady the only one of his relations whom he had ever felt as though he could have taken into his confidence. Dearly as he loved her memory, he was glad she had not known the scrapes he had got into since she died; perhaps she might not have forgiven them and how awful that would have been!
Clay and Randy had heard every word, and poor Nugget was finally obliged to take refuge in the tent. "This won't do," said Ned, struggling to keep a sober face. "We must be off. I hope you won't get in any fresh scrapes while we are away, Randy. You had better stay about camp. You may look for us back some time this afternoon not later than four o'clock."
But, learning swimming, and so lessening the risk attending peril by water, did not prevent him from getting into scrapes on land; for, he was a brave, fearless boy, and these very qualities, added to a natural impulsiveness of disposition, were continually leading him into rash enterprises which almost invariably ended in mishap and disaster, if not to himself, to those who unwittingly were involved in his ventures, alas!
