Long years ago Queen Victoria recording the conversation at her dinner-table, said: "Lord Melbourne made us laugh very much with his opinions about Schools and Public Education; the latter he don't like, and when I asked him if he did he said, 'I daren't say in these times that I'm against it but I am against it."
"Faix," she replied, archly, "it's well for you that Miss Kathleen's not to the fore or you daren't ax any one sich a question as that." "Well done, Nanny," he returned; "do you think she knows what it's like?" "It's not me," she replied again, "you ought to be axin' sich a question from; if you don't know it I dunna who ought."
"If you lay a finger on me I'll scream the house down." "You brought her 'ere," ses my wife, turning to me, "now you can take 'er away?" "I didn't bring 'er," I ses. "She follered me." "Well, she can foller you agin," she ses. "Go on!" she ses, trembling all over. "Git out afore I start on you." I was in such a temper that I daren't trust myself to stop.
What a shame! And suddenly she thought of June. Would she help them? For somehow June had left on her the impression that she would be sympathetic with their love, impatient of obstacle. Then, instinctively, she thought: 'I won't give anything away, though, even to her. I daren't! I mean to have Jon; in spite of them all. Soup was brought up to her, and one of Winifred's pet headache cachets.
I've seen too many millionaires for that. If you want to be a millionaire you mustn't get up till ten in the morning. They never do. They daren't. It would be as much as their business is worth if they were seen on the street at half-past nine. And the old idea of abstemiousness is all wrong. To be a millionaire you need champagne, lots of it and all the time.
What are you and your uncle implying, suggesting, hinting at?" she went on, suddenly letting her naturally hot temper get the better of her. "Do you realize what an utterly unworthy part you are playing? You accuse my uncle of being a thief and you dare not make any specified accusation against him! You charge him with stealing your securities and you daren't tell the police what securities!
"I live generally, thank God, where a bailiff daren't show his face." "Ah, sir," said the bailiff with a grin, "them rustic habits betrays the children o' nature often when they come to town; but we are so fisticated here in the metropolis, that we lay our hands on strangers aisy.
He is a darling, Ronnie, but he isn't you! "Come back soon, to your more than ever loving wife, "Yes, the smudgy places are tears, but only because I am rather weak, and so happy." Crossing the first page came a short postscript, in firmer hand-writing: "After all I am sending this to Leipzig. I daren't not tell you before you arrive. I sometimes feel as if I had done something wrong!
"I won't stir in the matter till I know for certain that he daren't take the police into his confidence. It will be all easy enough when we are once sure of that. You have been long enough in the family to find out Farnaby's weak side. Would it do, if we got at him, to begin with, through his wife?" Phoebe suddenly reddened to the roots of her hair.
"And missus is so wild about it, and she daren't say nothing 'cause she thinks yer might go." A young man in a house full of women must be almost supernaturally unpleasant if he does not occupy a great deal of their attention. Certain at least it is that I was the point of interest in that house; and I found there that the practice of virtue is not so disagreeable as many young men think it.
