P'raps Mick means to take yer home straight away, but if he doesn't we must wait a bit till I can find out what he's after. He's a deep one is Mick." "Couldn't you run home quick to tell Grandpapa and Grandmamma where us is?" said Duke. "Grandpapa, and the coachman, and Dymock, and the gardener they'd all come to fetch us." "I dursn't," said Tim. "Not yet; Mick's a deep one.
I dursn't try to see Master Justin, and I don't believe he can do aught to put it right. But poor granny, she'd be that worrited, and I know she's a bit short just now. 'Short of what? What do you mean? asked the little girl. 'Short of money, miss, to be sure, replied Bob. 'I dursn't ask her for it it'd put her about so, and she'd worry terrible about it all.
While Jim and I was makin' it all out, with the help of a bit of candle we smuggled out we dursn't take it inside father was smokin' his pipe in the old fashion and saying nothing. When we'd done he put up his pipe in his pouch and begins to talk. 'It's come just as I said, and knowed it would, through Starlight's cussed flashness and carryin's on in fine company.
"I 'spex he's got to drinking somewhere, and he won't be seen to-night." "I dursn't," said Diana. "He might come any minute, and that man might want to carry them off in their sleep, so as to have no noise about it." "But how could you stop him?" asked Tim, his merry face growing very sober. "I'd do my best, and you must be ready, you know," she said.
She lowered her voice. 'There's lots of ways. It 'ud be easy to make it seem as somebody did it just to rob him. He's always out late at night. His face was much the colour of the muddy water yellowed by that shaft of sunlight. His lips quivered. 'I dursn't, Clem. I tell you plain, I dursn't. 'Coward! she snarled at him, savagely. 'Coward! All right, Mr. Bob. You go your way, and I'll go mine.
"Then help me to carry him there." "No, no I dursn't touch it I can't not me not me!" "I think you will," said I, and took the pistol from my pocket. "Ain't one enough for to-night?" he muttered; "put it away I'll come I'll do it put it away."
And the donkey and the missus are down the road there waiting there's a little wood where we thought nobody would disturb us for a bit, if you and missy will come so far the missus said she'd unpack the pots. But you must be quick I dursn't hang about here, and if you can't come there's no more to be said," and he turned as if to go.
Then the tide turned; the water came about my feet and I crept up the stairs. I was in the Borough, but I dursn't go far. The street was full of drunken people and I crept into a doorway and hid there. I suppose I looked like a beggar, for no one noticed me. Then when the streets were quieter I came here."
"After I jumped from the coach I ran to the river, down the stairs at the foot of the bridge. The water was low and I stood under the bridge afraid to move. A terrible fight was going on above me. I don't know what it was about. The shooting and yelling went on for a long time and I dursn't stir. I would have taken a wherry but no waterman came near.
I said. He turned towards me in the like awkward fashion, but with neither astonishment nor concern. "Come up and take a drink with me before you go," I said, "if you're not in a hurry. I'm alone here, and since I HAVE turned out I don't see why we mightn't have a smoke and a talk together." "I dursn't." I looked up at the six feet of strength before me and repeated wonderingly, "Dare not?"
