"Yah! would yer!" said Bob defiantly.
"That is, if we take the fort," said Wyatt. "Yes, if we take the fort, and I'm specially anxious to take it now, because Dan'l Boone is in it. I don't hate Boone more than I do others, but he's a mighty good man to have out of our way." McKee, Eliot, Quarles, and Blackstaffe joined them, and long after the twilight had gone and the night had come they talked of their wicked plans.
Well, sir, Dan'l knew the ropes, as he said; and moreover, I reckon there was a kind of freemasonry among post-boys; and the two together, taken with his knowledge o' horseflesh, helped him down the road as never a man was helped before or since.
You made me shiver." Bob scowled. "He's thoroughbred game, he is, Dan'l." Dan'l chuckled. "He'd be a terrible chap when his monkey was up. Oh, I am glad. He'd ha' been sure to win."
"And now," the doctor turned to Dan'l "leave him to me, step outside and bring word as soon as you hear or glimpse a boat in the offing.

"Two in the morning," answered Phoby.
I scratched those initials on there my own self, over forty years ago. And the boy who gave it to you is named Daniel, but it's his first name, same as mine. Dan'l Darcy.

"She is one of our most brilliant members." "Yes," replied Dan'l, to whom the information had been imparted, and upon whom the crimson silk had made an impression; "yes, she she does look sort of sort of brilliant." Dott.

Then he says, 'One two three GIT! and him and the feller touched up the frogs from behind, and the new frog hopped off lively, but Dan'l give a heave, and hysted up his shoulders so like a Frenchman, but it warn't no use he couldn't budge; he was planted as solid as a church, and he couldn't no more stir than if he was anchored out.
There was your poor mother, she was took, and now I shan't see you no more. 'Tain't as I see you often, but I know you might drop in anywhen and there's comfort in that. Lor'! I shouldn't be standing here now if you hadn't come in that night I was pretty nigh gone home that time. Might a been better p'r'aps for me and Dan'l too if I had. But you meant it kind."
Helen followed, and as she passed through the window Dan'l turned to Peter with "I say, who is he?" "I dunno. Looks like a young invalid." "Ay, that's it," said the gardener.
