Love would have scared the youth: she banished it from her tongue. It may also have been true that it sickened her. She played on his higher nature. She understood spontaneously what would be most strange and taking to him in a woman. Various as the Serpent of old Nile, she acted fallen beauty, humorous indifference, reckless daring, arrogance in ruin. And acting thus, what think you?
"But " she persisted, looking scared and white, yet what was Fordham to her? "but I have heard him over and over again, Mr. Thorne. I can't be mistaken." Percival was disconcerted too. He looked at the carpet, at his slippered feet at anything but her face: "You have heard some one, I suppose: I don't know who comes in late. Not poor old Fordham."
"O Lu, do tell us all about it!" cried Rosie. "I never did hear of such a brave girl as you! Why I'd have been scared to death, and never have thought of such a thing as going down where the burglars were." "Oh I think you would if you'd been in my place," returned Lulu modestly.
Carol leaned over the rail of the bridge to look down at this Yang-tse village; in delicious imaginary fear she shrieked that she was dizzy with the height; and it was an extremely human satisfaction to have a strong male snatch her back to safety, instead of having a logical woman teacher or librarian sniff, "Well, if you're scared, why don't you get away from the rail, then?"
"Fogs ain't to be taken lightly. I wish this one hadn't come at this time. I'm generally scared of most of the things I can't see." "But what have we to be afraid of?" asked Dick. "We're here in strong force, and the enemy is too weak to attack." "The Johnnies are never too weak to attack. Rec'lect, too, that this is their country, and they know every inch of it. I wish Mr. Shepard was here."
He was scared, even in childhood, with dreams of hell and apparitions of devils. Troubled with fears of eternal fire, and the malignant demons who fed it in the regions of despair, he says that he often wished either that there was no hell, or that he had been born a devil himself, that he might be a tormentor rather than one of the tormented. At an early age he appears to have married.
It was no good my saying anything; pursuit of this wild haunter of tracks and by-paths would have been futile indeed. So I kept my own counsel. Fothergill never returned to Holly Lodge, and has been more secret and evasive since his last flight, rarely venturing on old camping grounds near home, like to a bird scared by the fowler's gun.
Consolation is, perhaps, hardly the right word; it had distracted him in more ways than one; partly, and in a good sense, from his own personal depression over things gone wrong, but more with a scared apprehension of the terrible hubbub that would arise when its contents became known.
"What do you think of it?" asked Frances, raising her voice to make it heard above the roar of the fire and the rumble of the wagon ahead of them. "I'm scared right down scared!" admitted Pratt Sanderson. "Well, so was I," she admitted. "But the worst is over now. We'll reach the river and ford it, and so put the fire all behind us. The flames won't leap the river, that's sure."
Anyway, it scared them. They came running to stamp it out, and one of them took a shot at me. But I was nearly a mile out from the creek by then, and he didn't even come close." "Let's hope I never have you two for enemies," Steve said fervently.
