Glanvil says, that the noises ceased immediately the drummer was sent beyond the seas; but that, some how or other, he managed to return from transportation; "by raising storms and affrighting the seamen, it was said;" when the disturbances were forthwith renewed, and continued at intervals for several years.
Vaisampayana continued "Then the ruler of Chedis, having heard these words of Bhishma, addressed the latter, O Bharata, in words that were stern and rough. "Sisupala said, 'Old and infamous wretch of thy race, art thou not ashamed of affrighting all these monarchs with these numerous false terrors!
Some hint of utter bewilderment in Theydon's tone must have reached the girl's alert ear. "Ah! Touché!" she cried. "Now will you be good and tell me why Dad should receive a little ivory skull by this morning's post?" Theydon knew that he paled. His very scalp tingled with an apprehension of some shadowy yet none the less affrighting evil.
The future was blurred, crowded with ugly and affrighting fiends passing in fantastic array before his vision, and mouthing dumb threats of madness and death. He shook restlessly, not aware that the girl's sorrowful glance, luminous with love and pain, was fixed upon him.

"I am," Miss Ingate almost ecstatically admitted. The trio in cloaked fancy dress were surrounding Miss Ingate like a bodyguard. Miss Thompkins and Miss Nickall were a charm to dissipate all the affrighting menace of the city beyond the station. Miss Thompkins had fluffy red hair, with the freckles which too often accompany red hair, and was addressed as Tommy.
What wealth you gather from the fields! What delicacies from trees and plants, which you may gather! You may glut and fill yourselves without being polluted. As for us, we fell upon the most dismal and affrighting part of time, in which we were exposed by our production to manifold and inextricable wants and necessities.

But out upon those heaped and spreading plains of snow nothing stirred, if it were not once that I was startled by a loud report, and spied a rock about half a mile away slide down the edge of the flat cliff and tumble into the sea. Nothing stirred, I say; there was an affrighting solemnity of motionlessness everywhere.
