"Well, miss, I'm afraid that I am not like that, and that makes me feel so uncomfortable with the difference between us. Because it is all about Miss Dolly, and I might seem so impudent. But you know that I would go through fire and water to serve Miss Dolly, and I durstn't go away forever without one message to her.
I'm under authority, you know, and durstn't overstep " "Don't let that trouble you," interrupted his companion, drawing a letter from his pocket; "I had anticipated that difficulty, and wrote to your employers. Here is their answer, granting me permission to use their dresses."
"Do you think we could find him if we searched?" said Fred, ignoring his companion's remark about the food. "Sure we couldn't, sir, without a lanthorn; and if we had one we durstn't use it. Let's set down and have a bite." "No, no. Look here! If he has crept away, he is sleeping somewhere not far off, and he is sure to come back. Give me the food, and I'll lay it in there ready for him.
"I think she's without exception, the prettiest girl I ever seen; an' her beautiful figure beats all; but somehow they say every one's afraid of her, an' durstn't vex her."

"I came to ask Miss Ellen if she could do me a great favour? There's a strange gentleman come, and nobody has seen him yet, and it don't seem right. He has been here this some time." "Have you told Mr. John?" "No, Miss Ellen; he's in the library with my master; and somehow I durstn't go to the door; mayhap they wouldn't be best pleased. Would Miss Ellen mind telling Mr.

We talked about everything that night after I left you. I pretended I'd found it out myself; I durstn't let her know that other people had noticed anything. She had a dreadful night, but she seemed better since.
I lay there while Jim went back and fetched guns and powder. The Lord knows how he done it without startling the hosses. Then we quit like ghosts, and legged it for the hills. We was aiming for the Gap, but it took us thirteen days to make it, travelling mostly by night, and living on berries, for we durstn't risk a shot. Then we made up with you.
"Where is he?" "Outside, shipmate. He durstn't stay inside longer, and he sent me to keep a lookout for you. I was giving you up when I clapped my old watchdogs on you. You are ready to go out to the <i>Elizabeth</i> in my boat?" Jack's reply was an exclamation of joy and a more fervant grip of the honest old tar's hand. "Captain Hillgrove had not deserted me after all!"
"Go down and open to 'em," was Mrs Clere's next order. "Eh, I durstn't if it was ever so!" screamed Amy in reply. "May I unlock the door and send Bessy?" "Thee do as thou art bid!" came in the gruff tones of her father. "Come, I'll go with thee," said her mother. "Tell Master Bailiff we're at hand, or they'll mayhap break the door in."
