Somehow I thought the first Dogs were not running so fast now as they had after the Coyote. But no one knew the finish of the hunt. The Dogs came back to us one by one, and we saw no more of that Wolf. Sarcastic remarks and recrimination were now freely indulged in by the hunters. "Pah scairt, plumb scairt," was the father's disgusted comment on the pack.
"From the way you hover close to that nasty weapon, you seem to be afraid of me," she challenged. "Not exactly afraid of you, ma'am, but, under the circumstances, just a mite timid." "But I've not been afraid of you." "You've got nothing to lose." "My life," she retorted. "That's right," he acknowledged promptly, "and you ain't been scairt of me. Mebbe I am over anxious."
"Guess the farmers have set their wheat stacks afire," said Solomon. "They're all scairt an' started fer town." General Washington was with his forces some miles north of the other shore of the river. A messenger was sent for him. Next day the Commander-in-Chief found his Long Island brigades in a condition of disorder and panic.
Gee! but you'd oughta seen the scairt look on them women's faces; there was two of 'em an old un an' a skinny-looking long-drink-o'-pump-water. I guess she was a girl. I don't know. Her eyes looked real old. There was only three men in the cabin; the rest was off somewheres. They wasn't looking for anybody to come that time o' day, I guess. One of the men was sick on a bunk in the corner.
"What's the news this morning?" his wife asked, noting the disappointed look upon his face. "Nuthin'," was the disgusted reply. "Not a soul in the store but the clerk." "Isn't that strange?" his wife questioned. "Naw, not strange when ye come to think it over. Them night prowlers wouldn't say a word; they're too dam scairt an' ashamed of themselves.
"Well, I guess we'll have t' take a chance. If they don't wing us before we get across this bald place, we'll be all right. Run like yuh was plumb scairt t' death, Flood." We sprinted like a pair of quarter-horses across the thirty yards of bare ground that spread in front of the rock, a narrow enough space, to be sure, but barren of cover for a jack-rabbit, much less two decent-sized men.
I delivered and received stunning blows. Dust, long undisturbed, rose, and blinded us. How many a gallant fray has been broken up by a screaming woman! Now Mary Ellen, true to the perversity of her sex, rushed in to separate us. "Oh, losh! I never seen the beat o' ye!" she cried. "Ye've scairt me out av a year's growth!
There ain't a mountain man that ain't felt it, some of 'em often, others of 'em once and so scairt that time they won't take the risk again. It comes down suddint, like a darkness then everything round that was so good and fine, the sound of the pines and the bubble of the spring and the wind blowing over the grass, seems like they'd set you crazy.
"In course it wuz repealed," said Israel. "They on'y passed it caze they wuz scairt o' the people. The loryers an rich folks got it repealed soon ez ever they dasted. Gosh, govment don' keer nothin fer wat poor folks wants, 'nless they gits up riots. That's the on'y way they kin git laws changed, 's fur 's I see. Ain't that 'bout so Peleg?" "Ye ain't fur outer the way, Isr'el.
"Instead of an ogre attended by owls and nightbirds and the devil knows what, for I don't." Barnes looked at him in amazement, struck by the curious note in his voice. "If you were a small boy in knickers, O'Dowd, I should say that you were mortally afraid of the place." "If I were a small boy," said O'Dowd, "I'd be scairt entirely out of me knickers.
