Dan Bassett, of all the contemptible tricks that ever "Bassett's face was redder'n a ripe tomatter. He shakes his fist in Gaius's face and yells opinions and comments. "'Don't you talk to me about tricks, you ward-heeler! he hollers. 'Why did you fetch Mr. Holway back home? Why did you, hey? That was the trickiest trick that I "Gabe pretty nigh broke his mallet thumpin'.
Fearing would as soon have pulled the tail of a rattlesnake. But before their sojourn was over, the Guide was amazed at Mr. Fearing, for that hare-hearted pilgrim would be doing things in the house that he himself would scarcely do who had been in the house a thousand times.

He was afraid to touch anything in the room lest it should fall and be broken. We ourselves, with all our assumed ease and elaborate abandon, are often afraid to ring our bell even in an inn. Mr.
