It's such a comfort to feel that it is our own." "It's a charming cottage," Mr. Dickson said, "but won't you want something roomier? Something more imposing for an heiress?" "I hate imposing things," Jean said, very earnestly "I want to go on just as we were doing, only with no scrimping, and more treats for the boys. We've only got £350 a year now, and the thought of all this money dazes me.
It put out a massive arm to the left, licked down five hundred trees at a gulp, and then, smashing its fist into a hillside, flung back into the valley floor, tossing the great trees in its top and poured straight at him. He watched it in one of those dazes during which one sees everything.
'Let me wire to-morrow by the old-fashioned way, said Merton; 'I hear that one need not go to Lairg to wire. One can do that from Inchnadampf, much nearer. That is quicker than steaming to Loch Inver. 'Thank you very much, Mr. Merton; I must be here myself. You had better take the motor trouble dazes a man I forgot the motor when I ordered the tandem this morning. 'Very good, said Merton.
I've known sich things afore, when men have been shut up in the dark some hours, and we were nigh upon three days in the pit, mind ye the shock of seein' the daylight kind o' dazes the sight for a while.

The blinding, dazzling gas-light throws a grateful glare over the salient points of its indecency, and blends the whole into a wild whirl that dizzies and dazes one; but the uncompromising afternoon, pouring in through manifold windows, tears away every illusion, and reveals the whole coarseness and commonness and all the repulsive details of this most alien and unmaidenly revel.
A fall that dazes one even for a few minutes is liable to befuddle one as to direction and cause one to lose one's way. Few persons lost in the mountains travel in a circle.

And how that dazes me, old mole that I am, you yourselves have seen. But the demeanor of Mistress Tetzel of Nuremberg, I have never had it out of my mind since, day or night, nor again, yesterday."
He's like a child a'most, when he's in one o' them dazes. I always knew when Uncle Silas was 'queerish, by the injunctions of old L'Amour, whistled and spluttered over the banister as we came up-stairs, to mind how we made a noise passing master's door; and by the sound of mysterious to-ings and fro-ings about his room.
