"He has excellent judgment, I perceive, or he would not so readily have calculated that no harm could come to any one who could swim well, by being carried over the Falls." Annette's eyes flashed a little at this cold blooded discounting of the generous, uncalculating bravery of her young preserver; but she made no reply.
She was thinking what different reasons there might be, for spending or saving; how there might be hardest self-denial in most uncalculating extravagance. When she found that they were growing awkwardly quiet, she said, "I suppose the right thing is to remember that there is neither virtue nor blame in just saving or not saving." "My father lost a good deal by the fire," said Rodney.
But over and above these slow irresistible changes there has been a vast destruction and defacement of the living world by the uncalculating reckless procedure of both savage and civilised man which is little short of appalling, and is all the more ghastly in that the results have been very rapidly brought about, that no compensatory production of new life, except that of man himself and his distorted "breeds" of domesticated animals, has accompanied the destruction of formerly flourishing creatures, and that, so far as we can see, if man continues to act in the reckless way which has characterised his behaviour hitherto, he will multiply to such an enormous extent that only a few kinds of animals and plants which serve him for food and fuel will be left on the face of the globe.
This was the outbreak of the excited youth, but he sobered down, and, in a few hours, the creature of impulse and impetuosity had argued himself into the expediency of adapting his conduct to existing circumstances of stooping, in short, to all the selfishness and meanness that actuate the most unfeeling and the least uncalculating of mortals.
But here was a scene here was incident, excitement and with all the enthusiasm of the southern temper, and with that uncalculating warmth which so much distinguishes it, he determined, without much regard to the merits of the question, to go along with the party. "I'll ride with you, Forrester, and see what's going on."
But these things led nowhither, from a point of view of worldly advantage, and, being just a woman, warm-hearted, uncalculating and profoundly illogical, she failed to realize the pitfalls that lay before her, the end which, all unsuspecting, she was steadily forging towards. Scipio, like the rest, came into camp for his dinner. His way lay along the bank of the creek.
To his sense, Dora had but one defect her admiration for her mother was too undiscriminating. For she had nothing whatever in common with the others; she was not of the same stuff as Mrs. Temperly and Effie and Tishy. She was original and generous and uncalculating, besides being full of perception and taste in regard to the things he cared about.
Circumspection and devotion are a contradiction in terms. I saw that, and hoped that I might speak without real harm. 'You calculated how to be uncalculating, and are natural by art! she said, with the slightest accent of sarcasm. 'But pray do not attend me further it is not at all necessary or desirable.
If the heart is good the result will be good, if it is bad the result will be evil. Real love has produced incalculably great results in the lives of individuals and in the life of the world." "I suppose so," said Margaret; "but you made out friendship to be also an 'affair of the heart, so far as you believe in it at all. Is true friendship as uncalculating as true love?
If ever you have had a romantic, uncalculating friendship, a boundless worship and belief in some hero of your soul, if ever you have so loved, that all cold prudence, all selfish worldly considerations have gone down like drift-wood before a river flooded with new rain from heaven, so that you even forgot yourself, and were ready to cast your whole being into the chasm of existence, as an offering before the feet of another, and all for nothing, if you awoke bitterly betrayed and deceived, still give thanks to God that you have had one glimpse of heaven.
