Ned gave an amusing account of his adventures and made fun of his fears. "Now tell me what happened to you, in those long hours. Did you get scared, too, Dick?" "Most of my scare was about you, though I did have one or two little troubles of my own. For a good while after you swam away the baby behaved like a cherub.
'Well, well, well, young man, said Sam, eyeing me affectionately, 'it's pleasant to meet you again, under happier conditions than last time. You certainly have all the luck, sonny, or you would have been badly hurt that night. I was getting scared how the thing would end. Buck's a plain roughneck, and his gang are as bad as he is, and they had got mighty sore at you, mighty sore.
All times and peoples gaze divers-coloured out of your veils; all customs and beliefs speak divers-coloured out of your gestures. He who would strip you of veils and wrappers, and paints and gestures, would just have enough left to scare the crows. Verily, I myself am the scared crow that once saw you naked, and without paint; and I flew away when the skeleton ogled at me.
Complaint was laid by three French bishops, whose names you will allow me to keep secret, and it consequently became necessary for the Congregation to examine the incriminated work." Pierre looked at him quite scared. Denounced by three bishops? Why? With what object? Then he thought of his protector.
“Another—another inspector, do you mean?” asked Ossipon, in great excitement, and very much in the tone of a scared child. “I don’t know. He came. He looked like a foreigner. He may have been one of them Embassy people.” Comrade Ossipon nearly collapsed under this new shock. “Embassy! Are you aware what you are saying? What Embassy? What on earth do you mean by Embassy?”
"But I'm feeling scared myself," he said comically. "And the front door's wide open, I'll bet." "And that swearing tramp could walk in if he liked!" "But we mustn't be afraid of open doors," Helen said, and listened to her own words for a moment. Then she smiled, remembering where she had heard them. "We're frightening each other, and we must wash up. Look at the muddle!"
Her cheeks were flushed more than usual and she was greatly excited. "What's up now?" the captain enquired. "Haven't been scared, have ye?" "It's a letter for Mr. David!" she replied. "Just think of that!" "H'm," and the captain gave a grunt of disgust. "Is that all. I thought maybe ye'd seen a ghost. Why should a letter so upset you?"
Her blue eyes were very wide open, like the eyes of a startled child. She spoke scarcely at all, and Bunny did not urge her. Only as he rowed, he watched her with grave determination on his boyish face. He had claimed her as his partner early in the evening, and she had made no attempt to thwart him; but something in that half scared silence of hers moved him very deeply.
Even Dutcher slipped out of his bunk and began to dress briskly. "Say," he grinned, "but you fellows were somewhat scared last night." "Yes," admitted Dave. "Weren't you?" "Not a bit," asserted Hen bravely. "Sa-ay " He paused, looking around him in wonderment, then demanded tartly: "What on earth are you fellows laughing at?"
"For you?" he asked, glancing at the slip of paper. "Me? No. I come for a lady friend o' mine. You might tell 'em she's awful sick an' scared, just about all in, she is, or she wouldn't of sent. But he said she was to come here an' hand in that slip I've just gave you. That's how I come to bring it." "All right. You wait," said the Japanese, and glided from the room.
