"Has anybody ever seen the woman as plainly as the owl?" "Lord bless you, sir! Lots." "Who?" "Lord bless you, sir! Lots." "The general-dealer opposite, for instance, who is opening his shop?" "Perkins? Bless you, Perkins wouldn't go a-nigh the place. No!" observed the young man, with considerable feeling; "he an't overwise, an't Perkins, but he an't such a fool as THAT."
The most part held swords all red as of fire, and ran either upon other, and gashed one another's hands and feet and nose and face. And great was the clashing they made, but they could not come a-nigh the grave-yard. The damsel seeth them, and hath such affright thereof that she nigh fell to the ground in a swoon. The mule whereon she sate draweth wide his nostrils and goeth in much fear.
I'm a-going to have them bow and arrows too, and the knife and cap, I'll let you see! Going and hiding away all this time, when I told yer to come back!" "You let me go," panted Robin, looking vainly round for help. "Nay, there aren't no one a-nigh, and I've got yer fast. Why didn't yer come back as I told you?" "I didn't want to," said Robin angrily. "You let me go. I'll call Little John to you."
As I view it, me having listened careful to what his honour the Admiral there says best respects to your honour them chaps'll never come a-nigh that place till it's night again, or at any rate, dusk, which'll be about seven o'clock this evening.

When they entered the cottage, Lisbeth was seated in her arm-chair, too tired with setting out the evening meal, a task she always performed a long time beforehand, to go and meet them at the door as usual, when she heard the approaching footsteps.

No offence; I'm but a rough-and-ready chap, and you're a lady. I never come a-nigh one afore. Now I know what they mean when they talk of a real lady, and I see what it is puts such a spirit into them swells as lives with the likes of you. But a rough chap needn't be a blind chap. I come in here for to clean out your jewel-box.
"Why, I never heard of a ghost really harming any one yet," I answered. "Peter," said Simon, quietly, "I wouldn't be too sure o' that. I wouldn't go a-nigh the place, myself; once is enough for me." "Simon," said I, "what do you mean by 'once'?" Now when I asked him this, Simon breathed hard, and shuffled uneasily in his chair. "I mean, Peter, as I've heerd un," he replied slowly. "Heard him!"
If he hadn't, if he had come a step nearer to the mare, I'd have shot him down like a dog. That's right, Logan, put her up for the night, old chap, and I'll get out your bedding." "Aye," said Logan, through his clamped teeth, "and God help man or devil that comes a-nigh her this night God help him, Lunnon Mister, that's all Ah say!"
Jo suddenly comes out of his resignation and excitedly declares, addressing the woman, that he never known about the young lady, that he never heern about it, that he never went fur to hurt her, that he would sooner have hurt his own self, that he'd sooner have had his unfortnet ed chopped off than ever gone a-nigh her, and that she wos wery good to him, she wos.
When the war is over an' the men come back to the Cove, none of 'em will so much as look at ye, with yer skin all pock-marked fair an' fine as it is now, like a pan of fraish milk." "But, granny, it won't be sp'ilt! The camp war too fur off an' thar warn't a breath o' wind. I never went a-nigh 'em."
