With this unpledged word to go on, Rasmunsen hit the back trail to Crater Lake, where he fell in with two press correspondents whose tangled baggage was strewn from Stone House, over across the Pass, and as far as Happy Camp. "Yes," he said with consequence. "I've a thousand dozen eggs at Linderman, and my boat's just about got the last seam caulked. Consider myself in luck to get it.
Might there not be some chance for himself now while the situation was still so uncertain and undeveloped? Helena was still unconscious, unpledged. Why not cut in at once? "She likes me she has been a perfect dear to me these last few times of meeting! Philip backs me. He would take my part.
Still under the weight of sin; still unpledged; still on dangerous ground; still left to a secular life and that without Esclairmonde! Why had he not gone to a French Benedictine, who would have caught at his vow, and crowned his penitence with some magnificent satisfying asceticism?
Certainly he found no satisfactory answers to such self-questionings. And then those grave reasons known only to himself, and never to be confided to another why he should yet reserve his hand unpledged were not so imperative as to admit of no compromise. They might entail a sacrifice, and not a small one to a man of Graham's views and ambition.
If one have an impediment in his thought, or is otherwise unequal to emergencies as they arise, it is safest to be provided beforehand with something to refer to in order that a right decision may be made without taking thought. But "spirits of a purer fire" prefer to decide each question as it comes up, and to act upon the merits of the case, unbound and unpledged.

No; he was resolved he would go on; as long as there was life there was hope; as long as Sylvia remained unpledged to any one else, there was a chance for him. He would remodel his behaviour to her.
He consoled himself by arguing that that was precisely what he had been trying to prove them by his sweeping applications of the conduct of Delilah. Whichever way he viewed his situation, things were in a pretty fair muddle a muddle which annoyed him because it was so unmerited. He was pledged to Terry, while she held herself unpledged.

The available, unpledged revenue of the kingdom hardly amounted to five millions of dollars a-year. The regular annual income of the church was at least six millions. The whole personal property of the nation was estimated in a very clumsy and unsatisfactory way, no doubt at sixty millions of dollars.
