"Don't be silly!" said Geraldine, who, with Loveday and Hilary, was making her exit. "There's nothing inside it. It's only like a cave." "You're sure bogeys won't catch my legs?" "Stop outside, if you're afraid." "It's like a fairy-tale, and going into the gnome's hill," fluttered Magsie.
"Who are these bogeys whose machinations are going to arrest the course of justice in a comparatively civilized country? You've told me yourself that Monsieur de Malrive is the least likely to give you trouble; and the others are his uncle the abbe, his mother and sister. That kind of a syndicate doesn't scare me much. A priest and two women contra mundum!" She shook her head.
The shadow called Thorns was for bolting across country; but Lilly white was not built for speed. Besides he did not know the lie of the land, and believed the Free Traders were mere bogeys. "They'll never touch us," Lillywhite grumbled. "We've a warrant... King's name...." He was flashing his lanthorn aimlessly up the hill. "Besides," he began again, "we've got this gallus bird.
"It is no fog I see which would slow me down a knot!" said Peter Bligh, when the island came into view; "to think that a man should go without his dinner for yon peat smoke! Surely, captain, they are simple in these parts and easy at the bogeys. 'Twill be roast duck, after all and, may-be, the sage thrown in!"
As the first group of well dressed office women came through the door, one of the men leaned back in his chair. A grin spread his mustache across his red face. "Bogeys, three o'clock," he announced. The squadron adjusted for combat. Most would become prisoners of war, Joe thought. He'd been one himself, not unhappily.
Prussian constitution, technical education, military efficiency and bravado such things are not progress. Japan must denounce the slavery of ancestor-worship, and escape from the rule of the dead. She must chase away the bogeys of superstition, and enjoy life as a lovely thing, and love as the vision of a life still more beautiful.
There are journeys a Frenchman dare not take because, before he reached their end, he would be confronted by one of those bogeys before which the stoutest French heart quails "C'est inadmissible," "C'est convenu," "La patrie en danger."
The age was too educated for medieval monsters and magic, but not educated enough to reject ghosts and other bogeys. The first edition was printed here in 1802. See Selections for Reading, and Bibliography, at the end of this chapter.
If you do what you are told and work hard, you will have a very good time at Holly House." Pixie looked dubious. "But aren't you ever naughty?" she asked anxiously. "Not really bad, you know, but just mischeevious! Don't you ever play tricks, or have pillow fights, or secret suppers up in your room, or dress up as bogeys to frighten the others?" "Certainly not!"
The barricade at the door at once brought back to his mind with startling clearness the events of the previous evening. Everything was as he had left it. Evidently no one had attempted to enter the room while he slept. He could not help smiling at the arrangement which reminded him of his childhood, when he had sought by similar means security from burglars and bogeys.
