I wonder whether father got away, and what he thinks about me. Let's see, how did that fellow escape?" he added, after an interval, during which dark clouds were sweeping up from the west, and the room seemed to fill with gloom.
She flushed, looked angry for a moment, and then in spite of herself dimpled into a smile. "Bertie, you're a beast! Say that again if you dare!" "I daren't," said Bertie. "No, I thought not. Now apologise!" "Oh, not now! Not in public!" he pleaded. "I'll drop in this evening and you can shrive me before I go to bed." "I shan't be at home," said Dot, with her head in the air. "Oh, yes, you will.
He's a big lad to cry like a baby, but when he's in a passion he'll fair scream just to frighten us. He knows us daren't call our souls our own." "He wasn't vexed," said Mary. "I asked him if I should go away and he made me stay. He asked me questions and I sat on a big footstool and talked to him about India and about the robin and gardens. He wouldn't let me go.
'Almost overborne in the fulfilment of that threat! Almost! It's a black scheme, and I see it now. This man came to Plattville and went on the 'Herald' for nothing in the world but this. It's McCune's hand all along. He daren't name him even now, the coward! The trick lies between McCune and young Fisbee the old man is innocent. Give me the pad. Not almost overborne.

"Someone has taken them in," says the captain. "They're queer fellows, these Burmans; they daren't go out at nights for fear of spooks. You'll see they'll bring them safely back in the morning."
But Mark did not fall, and though he chose the easier way up he did display some courage, and lay flat down to extend a hand to his miserable companion. "There, take hold of my hand. I'll help you," he said. The man shook his head wisely, perhaps, for Mark's help would not have been great as far as sustaining him went. "I can't I daren't move," he said. "It's as bad as being shut up in the hold.
And you know you daren't look round to see what the men are doing. But Wallace was splendid. He was just behind me, and I'd hear him, quite quiet you know, 'It's right wheel, sir. Always perfect, always perfect yes well.... "You know you don't get killed if you don't think you will. Now I never thought I should get killed. And I never knew a man get killed if he hadn't been thinking he would.
"I'll tell you, then; I heard it, but I won't believe it till I satisfy myself that your family daren't name your name to her at home, and that everything is to be over between you. Now, I'm on my way there to know whether this is true or not; if it is, I'll think less of her than I ever did." "And I won't Dora; but will think more highly of her still. She thinks I'm as bad as I'm reported to be."
"Is it by Ellen's ordhers you take it, Nanse?" "To be sure who else's? but the divil a one o' me knows what she means by it, any how only that I daren't go back widout it."
