You weren't such a fool as you looked. Oh, no!" said Bonaparte. He now walked about the room, diving his fingers in everywhere: sticking them into the great crevices in the wall and frightening out the spiders; rapping them against the old plaster till it cracked and fell in pieces; peering up the chimney, till the soot dropped on his bald head and blackened it.

Only one event in his life had eclipsed this in happiness the interview in front of the White House. He rapped on the window with his stick, thereby frightening Cynthia half out of her wits as she sat musing sorrowfully by the fire. "Cousin Ephraim," she said, taking off his corded hat, "what in the world's the matter with you?" "You're a schoolmarm again, Cynthy." "Do you mean to say?"

I am not become learned, Kitty, but 'twas to hear the lionesses roar, and because I knew the Lord of Strawberry would be there and was wishful to hear his exultations. Lord preserve us, child, what a frightening place!

She was like some moth in a whorl of butterflies. Her face was pale, and her eye had a curious disturbed look, as though they had seen frightening things.

The second day, after marching for hours through vast herds of buffalo, we made Hackberry Creek; but not, however, without several stampedes in the wagon-train, the buffalo frightening the mules so that it became necessary to throw out flankers to shoot the leading bulls and thus turn off the herds.

On one occasion he was fishing near another boat in which was a friend. The water was very clear and still, and he could see his friend's bait lying upon the sand.

They owned automobiles, and Henry was aware of a cursing sentiment when one whirred past him, trudging along, and covered him with dust. Sometimes it seemed to Henry as if an automobile was the last straw for the poor man's back: those enormous cars, representing fortunes, tyrannizing over the whole highway, frightening the poor old country horses, and endangering the lives of all before them.

"I have rather enjoyed frightening those who came here thinking me a wild animal or worse. I believe I have a reputation as a ghost derybach." Tarlac chuckled. "Sorry I spoiled your fun. Maybe I'll see you again later, but right now I have to get moving." "Go with your gods, Ranger." With that, Longclaw rose and was gone, a flash of white vanishing into the trees.
