Where did you learn it?" At this Priscilla doubled over with laughter but managed to say: "Why, it means just doshed! Haven't you ever wanted to be doshed, mother, when you were young, and before father took the dosh out of you?" Theodora was again overcome by former fears, and to confirm her terror Priscilla sprang toward her with outstretched, gripping fingers and wide, eager eyes.
A cold shudder ran through her at the thought; and her fears were only too well founded: the black Arab who had come to parley with her, and had finally allowed her to remain under this roof till next day, had told her as much through the interpreter. A fearful, horrible, nameless catastrophe! And that she should be in the midst of it and have to see it all! Then her husband, her poor Justinus!
Still another only fears punishment, while there is a type of deeply antisocial nature which goes his own way, seeking his own egoistic purposes, uninfluenced by the opinion of others, accepting reward cynically and fighting against punishment. More than that, each child shows peculiarities in the types of praise, reward, blame and punishment that move him.
And yet, and yet after all, it isn't as though I were reaching out into the darkness after an indefinite object. What I'm reaching out for is a light, so that I can tell exactly just what object is there. And, anyway," she quoted a little waveringly: "He either fears his fate too much, Or his, deserts are small, Who dares not put it to the touch To gain or lose it all!"
He was proud, when I praised; he was submissive, when I reproved him; but he did never love me and what he now mistakes for gratitude and kindness for me, is but the pleasant sensation, which all persons feel at revisiting the scene of their boyish hopes and fears; and the seeing on equal terms the man they were accustomed to look up to with reverence.
I can't describe my feelings better than by saying that it was as though I had put my brain and my heart and all my fears and terrors under a good stiff pump of cold water. I felt a different man from four hours before, although still desperately tired and physically weak. I went softly upstairs. The light of a most lovely summer morning flooded the room.
He picked up a paper-cutter and, feeling the edge of it softly with his fingers, he added slowly, as if to himself: "He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, Who dares not put it to the touch To win...or lose it all." Thea's lips parted; she looked at him from under a frown, searching his face. "Do you mean to break loose, too, and do something?" she asked in a low voice.
Members of Parliament are singularly emancipated from these fears of the brave; but members of Parliament cannot supply the whole contingent of white-hatted men now to be seen in the streets of the metropolis. Their presence proves that it is very hot indeed.

Finally, however, Mrs. Linforth received a third letter which set her heart beating with pride, and for the moment turned all her fears to joy. "The war is over," it began.
Now, when he thinks about it, his hair stands up upon his head like oak-trees; this is the reason why he does not himself dare to lift up his hand against her, he even fears to order others to do it. He has with him the dumb executioner of Szczytno, but it is not known why, because the executioner as well as others, are equally afraid to harm her." These words made a great impression.
