"Come on," urged another, "the whistle will be blawn the noo." "She's feart," said one, "an' she disna need, for we a' ken that she wants to choose Bob Sinclair."

What possessed ye, lass, to dee sic a thing?" She stood distressed, and made no answer. "Hoot, lassie, tell me!" insisted Peter; "I haena been an ill maister til ye, have I?" "Sir, ye hae been like the maister o' a' til me! But I canna that is, I maunna or raither, I'm determined no to explain the thing til onybody." "Thoucht ye my wife was feart the minister micht fa' in love wi ye?"
Domestic affairs were influenced to some degree by Pearl's expected arrival. "Don't be wearin' yer sweater now, Tommy man, I'm feart the red strip'll run in it when its washed; save it clean till Pearlie comes, there's a man." "Patsey, avick, wobble yer tooth now man alive. Don't be havin' that loose thing hangin' in yer jaw, and Pearlie comin' home so soon."
But the captain would have none of the precautions he urged; declared he would walk the deck as usual, and vowed he could cope single-handed with a dozen cowards like Maxwell. "John Paul," said MacMuir, with admiration in his voice and gesture, "John Paul wasna feart a pickle, but gaed to the mast, whyles I stannt chittering i' my claes, fearfu' for his life.

A grim Presbyterian smile went round, more vocal than the echoing laughter of less silent sects, and it smote on Archie's ears like the scorners' bray. Forward went the catechism, a penitential gloom succeeding the sinful indulgence.
But I got past that, an' so will you. With a sardonic smile Willie shook his head and took another cigarette; and just then Christina had to go to attend to a customer. Willie turned to his friend. 'Thon was a dirty trick aboot the cookies. I've a guid mind to bide here as lang as you. 'I didna think ye wud hae been feart for a cookie, Wullie. Of course, I'll never tell her.
He felt his breathing getting difficult; the air was thick with dust and heavy with the smell of rotting wood and damp decaying matter. "Faither!

The Chief pulled up short, hit clean and hard between the eyes. "Ye'll never see a feart Macdonald," he said, "if ye live to be as auld as Ben Nevis." "Ye're in the wrong, Glencoe," said Charles. "I saw one this morning, and he was frightened of the English." "I'll gie ye the lie o' that," roared Glencoe, "if I hae to scrat my way into London wi' ma nails."
'Ye'll surely be comin hame to tak things intil yer ain han'? My father says whiles he's some feart they're no bein made the maist o'. 'The property must look after itself, Kirsty. I will be a soldier like my father. If it could do without him when he was in India, it may just as well do without me. As long as my mother lives, she shall do what she likes with it.
