When I spoke to him of the unkind things that were said about the horse, he said, "Oh, I know that they say he has the heaves; but one of the things I bought him for was because he breathes so loud. That is a sign that he has a plenty of wind. You take any ordinary horse, and you can't hear him draw a breath; his lungs are frail and he daren't inflate 'em.
"He's fond of nothing and nobody but himself and easy living. He's soft, mind you, he's got plenty of sentiment, he 'll squeeze a tear out of his eye, and all that sort of thing, but he'd sell his soul, or his daughter's soul, for a little extra comfort. Now Elizabeth doesn't know exactly where her sister is, and she daren't seem anxious, or go around making inquiries.
Burke looked at his wife; she replied, eagerly: "I should like to go, Mr. Bailey, very much. Our old team is so feeble we daren't drive so far. I'm afraid every time old Dick stumbles he'll fall down on the road." "We'll have to get back to-morrow night," Burke said. "Oh, we'll do that all right," replied Bailey. As she planned the trip with tremulous eagerness, Bailey studied her.
She went into lodgings, and there was no one to help her. She wrote to me, asking me to come to her. Her letter was destroyed in one of the pillar-boxes raided by those women " She pointed. "Then she broke her heart because she thought I'd given her up. She daren't write again. And now I've found her out in hospital dying. I've seen her to-day.
I daren't suggest a drink under the circumstances, but I'll owe you one." He extended his hand with a royal air. "Will you shake?" Dick held back. "Will you play the game?" he said. Saltash grinned. "My own game? Certainly! I always do." Dick's hand came out to him. Somehow he was hard to refuse. "A straight game?" he said. Saltash's brows expressed amused surprise.
"The poor little beggar's as make as a cat, for he daren't call his sowl his own!" I asked after some of the other men belonging to my old ship, including Accra Prout, whom the colonel wished to accompany us to Venezuela, the mulatto refusing on the plea that, though he should always love his "old massa," he could not go with him for one insurmountable reason.
She found a sad little group sitting in the hay-field; Milly in nurse's lap crying quietly every now and then; Tiza still sobbing on the grass, and Olly who had just crept down from the farmhouse, where he and Charlie had seen Becky carried in, talking to nurse in eager whispers, as if he daren't talk out loud. "Oh, Aunt Emma," cried Milly, when she opened the gate, "is she better?"
And she hadn't any business to feel that way, for SHE didn't know how I'd fooled her brother with that bird-cage. I guess the poor old lady daren't call her soul her own. I'd hate to have my mother that way so 'fraid of me. MY mother shall go where she pleases, and stay where she pleases, and DO as she pleases." "That makes me think," says Alma, "I heard you were going to move." "Yes, we are.
"We've none too much, I assure you; you're marrying a poor man. "Helen wouldn't agree with me here," she continued. "Helen daren't slang the rich, being rich herself, but she would like to.

"He used to tell me all as he was a-going to do," said Sarah; "but, oh, sir, he's been and gone away, and I daren't go down-stairs to look at the plate, and I'll never more sleep in quiet, if I was to live a century.
