There was something very gentle in the tone, and sweet in the uplift eye, of the poor destitute boy, as he replied, "I can't say if I'm a-going to die, Billy; but don't you mind what Miss Mary told us about dying? I used to be afeared when I thought on it, but now I think I could die and be happy!" "But you must not you shall not go and leave me!
And when I was debating within myself whether I'd throw him over or no, he says to me, 'Kezia, my lass, he says, 'I'm not afeared as ye'll give me the slip, for all your saucy ways; other folks may think you're a bit flirty, but I know you better than they do, and I trust you with all my heart. Do you think I could have disappointed him after that, Mrs. Hankey? Not for the whole world.
"I'll tell you how I think on death: I'm afeared of it when I think of that poor, heartbroken woman, Lady Gourlay; but when I think of him of him I do hope and expect that my last thought in this world will be the delightful one that I've had my revenge on him."

Charles asked me to look at a new purchase he had made in Pennsylvania. The strange man was lounging about the stalls when we went in, inspecting the horses with a knowing air. "I declare, sir," said Jesse, "I am afeared to tackle this ere animal; he's a reglar brute, and no mistake." "He'll be tame enough; he is but four years old."

Kester stood still; then he shook his head slowly. 'It's t' work at t' Randyvowse as a'm afeared on. Some folks thinks such a deal o' a bonfire. Then a may lay me down afore t' fire, missus? said he, beseechingly.
"I'm much afeared, sir, if thing's are not altered, that there'll be murder committed some night," answered Broom, without circumlocution. "I hope not," replied Lionel. "Are you and the poachers again at issue?" "It's not about the poachers, hang 'em! It's about Robin Frost, sir. What on earth have come to him I can't conceive.

By the terror of which sight, and the feare of so dreadfull a dreame, I awaked. Then the old woman rendring out like sighes, began to speake in this sort: My daughter take a good heart unto you, and bee not afeared at feigned and strange visions and dreams, for as the visions of the day are accounted false and untrue, so the visions of the night doe often change contrary.
The patient looked at all these and he sniffed; and a grin split his face and an Irish twinkle came into his eyes. "Thank you, me lady, for askin'," he said; "but I'm very much afeared I'm gettin' better."
