He would never have agreed with her as to the authority of 'impulse and passion', but I am sure he did not underrate their importance as factors in human life. M. Milsand was one of the few readers of Browning with whom I have talked about him, who had studied his work from the beginning, and had realized the ambition of his first imaginative flights.
So he insisted on lying low, and quietly seeing what would come of it. He was not now disposed to underrate the danger, but he felt convinced that the worst possible course for him would be to proclaim the danger too soon.
He showed his quality at Fort William Henry and we mustn't underrate him, though I am afraid that's what we'll do; besides the forest fights for the defense." "It's not like you to be despondent, Dave," said Robert. "I'm not, lad. I've just a feeling that we should be mighty cautious.
