All the time we could hear the great beast thunderin' after us, yet we daren't slacken our pace; no, sir, not even enough to take a single glance behind just to see which was gainin'. It was a sure case of life or death, but principally death; an' you can depend on it we wasn't takin' any chances.
"I know," interrupted Aurora, glancing at the clock, "don't waste time in talking of Lady Rachel Sandal's death " "How do you know about that?" stammered Hay, completely nonplussed. "I know a mighty lot of things. I may as well tell you," added Miss Qian, coolly, "since you daren't split, that I've got a lot to do with the secret detective service business.
"I almost never dare go except on bright warm nights in summer. Of course I daren't go in the daytime." "No, I suppose not," said Hortense. "However, I'll go with you, you are afraid. Grandmother has gone to bed, I think, and there will be a little fire left on the hearth." Highboy brightened a little. "Do you think we dare?" he said, "Suppose we should meet the cat."
But the Old Squire says I had better take him, for we have quite spoilt him for a yard dog by petting him, till he has not a bit of savageness left in him.

Bolt's voice went on. "Next day your father disappeared, Miss Cullison. He was here in town all morning. His friends knew that suspicion was fastening on him.

The light was switched off, and Bud heard the doors pulled shut, and the rattle of the padlock and chain.
"Jeff, don't let him!" she cried. Jeff stretched out an arm to keep the young man back. A roar of laughter rose from the remaining guests. "Kiss her yourself then, Jeff!" cried old Griggs, hammering on the table. "You've got her under the mistletoe." "He daren't!" said Jim Dawlish, with a wink.
"Don't breathe it to a soul," I whispered, tragically, "but eggs, and eggs alone, are turning my love for my sister into bitterest hate. She stalks me the whole day long, forcing egg mixtures down my unwilling throat. She bullies me. I daren't put out my hand suddenly without knocking over liquid refreshment in some form, but certainly with an egg lurking in its depths.
