And the knight was inclined to attaint his lady for a certain cruelty in the matter; she was being something less than fair to the Unspeakable Perk. The searchlight of his surmise ranged farther. Raimonda! The young Caracunan was handsome, distinguished, manly, with a romantic charm that the American did not underestimate.
There is sometimes an inclination now to underestimate the effect of the Renaissance. The writers of that age were unsparingly contemptuous of their predecessors, and their verdict was for long accepted almost without question. The reaction against this has led to an undue extolling of the Middle Ages.
I have tossed him in the air, to his own delight and to the consternation of his mother, who feared lest I should fail to catch him on his way down, or that I should underestimate the distance between the top of his head and the ceiling on his way up.
"In the first place, I should be ruining your career." "If I had a career," he said, smiling gently, "you couldn't ruin it. You both overestimate and underestimate the world's opinion, Honora. As my wife, it will not treat you cruelly. And as for my career, as you call it, it has merely consisted in doing as best I could the work that has come to me.

"Yes, yes, one owes a great duty to oneself and one's work, John. You are risking too much name, friends, honor, work, freedom. For God's sake, John, do not underestimate the danger. You have not had time to consider it." "Ho! Listen to the parson preaching self-interest!" he mocked. "He's a fine one to do that at this hour of his life!" "I tell you you endanger everything," I insisted.
He did not underestimate his danger; neither did he undervalue his intimate knowledge of human nature. With what emotions Breitmann returned to the scene of his triumph, his self-appointed companion could only surmise.
