| to decline politely |
| to have too many fears
to be overcautious
to be full of misgivings |
| to fall into a difficult positionl
to get into scrapes |
| to be battle-shy because of one's weakness
to have too many fears
to be overcautious
to be full of misgivings |
| to stop something and send it back
to leave or retire when one has ridden the crest of success
to resign and retire from public life |
