Poor Miss Matilda gazed dreamily out of the window, treasuring the faint, fragrant memory of her lost romance. "If Rosemary has got a beau," she said to herself, "I hope she won't let Ma scare him away from her." At the post-office, Rosemary met Alden, face to face.
"Found anything, Big!" we shouted, though he was only a couple of yards away. "N-no. Nothing here. I'm going to try this other hole. Oh, I say, isn't it deep?" "Mind! Mind!" shrieked Bob, and Bigley scuffled back. "What what is it?" he panted. "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" roared Bob. "Did he bite you?" "What a shame!" grumbled Bigley in his gruff voice. "I didn't try to scare you. I don't care though.
I replied that her regret was a source of pride to me, made a bow to the door, and departed. In the courtyard I found the five black brethren still perching on the shed roof; I tried to scare them away by clapping my hands; they did not refer this action to themselves.
"Well, that's all right, then. You were beginning to give me a scare, too. I ain't playin' the clam, and I dunno where he is; but I can tell you there's nothing to worry you any more about the rest of it. He was after the White Moll last night, and it didn't come off.

That was the colored man's favorite method of dealing with enemies, but, of course, he could not always carry it out.

I fancy I threw a scare into Andy, talking as I did about the map."

I am not scare, myself, but it is pleasant to know I have what you call the side that is safe. From my American wife I have many of your excellent speech figures. But now! The launch is big.

Wouldn't she be splendid with a gold crown on her head, and di'monds a glitterin' all over her! D' you remember how handsome she looked in the tableau, when the fair was held for the Dorcas Society? She had on an old dress of her grandma's, they don't make anything half so handsome nowadays, and she was just as pretty as a pictur'. But what's the use of good looks if they scare away folks?
"Well," said Ben Berry, "you be careful what you say about us, or we'll get Pewee to get even with you." "Oh, that's your game! You think you can scare me, do you?" Jack grew more and more angry. Seeing a group of school-boys on the other side of the street, he called them over.
His grandfather looked at him with blank amazement. "You out of your head?" "No," Katherine cried. "We saw you lying there, cold and still. I I found you." "You've not forgotten, Katherine," Bobby said breathlessly, "that he moved afterward." Silas Blackburn took his hand from Katherine's shoulder. "Trying to scare me? What's the matter with you? Some scheme to get my money?"
