Note
A regular past form: one spelling serves both "they adventured" and "had adventured." Every verb sense behind it is archaic, which gives it a deliberately old-world ring. It works two ways. With an object it means to stake or hazard something (adventured his life, adventured their fortunes). On its own it means to take the risk or try one's chance. In everyday modern prose, ventured does the same work more plainly.
