The moon's a great friend of mine, master. I've loved her ever since I can remember. When I was a little lad of eight I fell asleep in the garden one evening and wasn't missed. I woke up alone in the night and I was most scared to death, master. Lord, what shadows and queer noises there were! I darsn't move. I just sat there quaking, poor small mite.
He had known a different realm, and it had left its trace in a high brow, a fine face, a clearer eye than one usually saw on the streets of the mining camp. "Yer darsn't do it!" leered again the same contemptible fellow. "Yer a city kid an' hain't got sand 'nuff to make an ant-hill.
At the question, she suddenly laid down her knife and fork. "Don't you ask me that, Hi," said she, agitatedly, "I can't tell you that. You don't know Levi, Hiram; I darsn't tell you anything he don't want me to. If I told you where I been he'd hunt me out, no matter where I was, and kill me. If you only knew what I know about him, Hiram, you wouldn't ask anything about him."
"Not acquainted! Darsn't you speak to her high mightiness then?" "Oh, yes, I can speak to her when there is occasion, but that does not make one acquainted. I don't understand her." "I do, perfectly. She thinks herself a wonderful deal better than you or me." "Perhaps she is," he admitted. "Well! that's a nice speech to make to ME! I was a fool to break my engagement and go with you."
"He'll be putting on veteran airs, telling big stories of what he's going to do when soldiers are wanted, and drilling such fools as believe in him. Young gals are often taken by such strutters, and think that men like Jarvis, who darsn't speak for themselves, are of no account. But I'll put a spoke in Zeke's wheel, if I have to get the captain to write."

There was a time he darsn't look at Bab." "He always liked her, though." "Oh, of course. Who don't? She's pretty and good and gay. But she felt above Gus, once." "Did she? I never thought so." "He thought so. She would hardly notice him." "Sometimes," said Rachel slowly, "folks feel offish themselves, and imagine everybody else does.
When Chunk tapped at the one window, she feared the spooks of dead soldiers had already begun their persecutions. Never was there a more welcome and reassuring sound than the impatient voice of her grandson, and she soon so rallied as to get him something to eat. "I darsn't come in," he said. "I got ter be whar I kin run en hide. Now granny, lis'n wid all yo' ears.
"There is a man in the mines," said he, "who has been in his hands, and if he ever gets a chance to come within shot of him, I guess the captain will remember it. He knows well enough he darsn't set his foot in the diggings. And there's T. is not much better. Everybody thought it a great pity that fellow's gun snapped when he so nearly had him at Green Bay."
