"Ah, then, it's glad I am that ye think so, sor," returned Paddy, "for I've been afear'd Mister Tom hadn't got quite so much go in him, since he tuk to gambling and drinkin'." "Look here, Paddy," exclaimed his companion, stopping abruptly, and pointing to the ground, "are not these the footprints of one of your friends?"
"How long have you been subject to these sort of fits?" said I. "You had better speak to the doctor about them. Such fancies, if they are not attended to, often end in madness." "Mad!" Did I not see it with my own eyes? And then the noise I could not make such a tarnation outcry to save my life. But be it man or devil, I don't care, I'm not afear'd," doubling his fist very undecidedly at the hole.
"Come, old horse, get away in." The horse obeyed, and disappeared in the darkness beyond. "Now, lad, don't be afear'd, I know every fut o' the way.

"My residence, marm, ain't a mansion in the vest-end. No, nor yet a willa in the subarbs. I'm afear'd, marm, that I live in a district that ain't quite suitable for the likes of you to wisit. But " Here Bobby paused, for at the moment his little friend Tim Lumpy recurred to his memory, and a bright thought struck him. "Well, boy, why do you pause?"
Nor, 'taint that you act like you were any better'n us. I don't know what it is, but it's somethin'. Take your stayin' here in Mutton Hollow, now; honest, Dad, ain't you afear'd to stay here all alone at nights?" "Afraid? afraid of what?" he looked at her curiously. "Hants," said the girl, lowering her voice; "down there." She pointed toward the old ruined cabin under the bluff.
"You'll have to lose your arm, my good fellow," said the doctor, kindly, but in a business-like way, "the bone is badly shattered." "I was afear'd o' that ever since I got hit. I was just a-takin' aim when I missed my fire, I didn't know why, didn't feel nuthin', but I couldn't hold the gun.
"I hope not, sir; and, wanst for all, Mr. Hycy, there's no use in spakin' to me as you do. I'm a poor humble girl, an' has nothing but my character to look to." "And is that all you're afraid of, Nanny?" "I'm afear'd of Almighty God, sir: an' if you had a little fear of Him, too, Mr. Hycy, you wouldn't spake to me as you do." "Why, Nanny, you're almost a saint on our hands."
But don't let's trouble about the unfortunate lady, who ought to have been at rest long ago. It's those weird whisperings I mean to investigate." And she looked blankly around her at the great, cyclopean walls and high, weather-beaten towers, gaunt yet picturesque in the morning sunshine. The keeper shook his shaggy head. "I'm afear'd, Miss Gabrielle, that ye'll ne'er solve the mystery.
"I'm horrible afear'd," observed the elder gentleman putting down his empty glass, "as my son Bill Whalley is a reg'lar fool." "Oh, pardon me!" exclaimed Bristles "I haven't the, honour of his intimacy, but " "Only think the liberties he allows himself in regard to this here intellectual lady, Miss Hendy.
ANCIENT. Leapin' in the air, rollin' in the grass, wi' they keepers clingin' to 'im like leeches ah! leeches SIMON. And every time they rushed, tap 'ud go 'is "left," and bang 'ud go 'is "right" ANCIENT. An' up 'e'd get, like Samson again, Peter, an' give 'isself a shake; bellerin' like a bull o' Bashan SIMON. Ye see, they fou't so close together that the keepers was afear'd to use their guns
