He bounded from his bed on the chest, regardless of the figure he cut in his very slight dishabille, and proceeded to the front door, set, as his mother would have said, on having his own way. "Oh, mammy," he said, "dare's de banjo." "What you doin here?" said Phillis. "Go long to bed this minute, 'fore I take a switch to you."
I think the headache will be better now, eh?" He nodded kindly to her, and closed the door again. Ruth sat down mechanically, and began to sort the packet he had put into her hands. The first three letters were in the same handwriting, Dare's large vague handwriting, that ran from one end of the envelope to the other, and partly hid itself under the stamp.
Children of Spanish and French parents had, of course, been born in America before the date of Virginia Dare's birth. By Skrellings the author means natives.
"You rascal, let Tom alone!" came in Dick Rover's voice, and he rushed in and threw the bully headlong. "Dick! Sam!" came from Tom joyfully. "Oh, how glad I am that you have come." "Wot's dis!" gasped Stumpy Nuggs. "Longback, dare's trouble ahead!" "Yes, an' I don't intend ter be in it!" answered the second tramp. "I reckon we've got about all we want out of dis crowd, anyway!"
Why, dis berry curous sarcumstance, 'pon my word dare's a great big nail in do skull, what fastens ob it on to de tree." "Well now, Jupiter, do exactly as I tell you do you hear?" "Yes, massa."

As he left, Treadwell murmured in Dare's ear: "Don't forget that dance, Darry! Two if there is any show." Midshipman Darrin nodded slightly.
Do you suppose," with sudden fire, "that we shall cease to love each other; that I shall be able to cease to love you for the rest of my life because you are Dare's wife? What is done can't be undone. Our love for each other can't. It is no good shutting your eyes to that.
There were the remains of a swagger in his body and limbs as he came forward, regarding Somerset with a confident smile, as if the wonder were, not why Mr. Dare should be present, but why Somerset should be present likewise; and the first tone that came from Dare's lips wound up his listener's opinion that he did not like him.
'Miss Power does not wish to ask me any more questions. I may as well proceed on my way, as you advised. De Stancy, who had also gazed with dismay at Somerset's passing figure, though with dismay of another sort, was recalled from his vexation by Dare's remarks, and turning upon him he said sharply, 'Well may you be in such a hurry all of a sudden!
