His large powerful host carried her upstairs, and she was put to bed by her thin, scared-looking, but excellent and helpful maid; and this was the beginning of an illness which lasted above three weeks. Little did we think, however, at the beginning how bad it would be. We thought it only rheumatism, and I wrote to Honora that we should be detained a few days longer from day to day put off.
In an instant the rest of the men took fright and shrank away from the bows, to hang together in a scared-looking group, the first man, addressed as Tommy, holding one hand to his mouth as if to check his chattering teeth. "Stand by there with a rope," came from the boat; but not a man stirred, and just then the captain and mate came trotting up from aft.
Also, from the same vantage point we saw an automobile pass bearing a couple of German officers and a little, scared-looking man in a frock coat and a high hat, whose black mustache stood out like a charcoal mark against the very white background of his face.
Even one or two scared-looking servants were discernible in the background, and on every face sat a strange, unusual gravity. Nan felt as though someone had suddenly slipped a band round her heart and were drawing it tighter and tighter. Nobody seemed to notice her as with reluctant, dragging footsteps she descended the remainder of the staircase.
'Don't let's burgle I mean do daring and dashing rescue acts till we've given her a chance. Let's ring and ask to see her. The others hated to do this, but at last they agreed, on condition that Anthea would not make any silly fuss about the burglary afterwards, if it really had to come to that. So they knocked and rang, and a scared-looking parlourmaid opened the front door.
One pane of the window had been pasted up with paper, and leaves torn off by the wind could be heard pattering against the paper. "I tell you what, good Christian," said Artyom in a hoarse little tenor half-whisper, staring with unblinking, scared-looking eyes at the hunter. "I am not afraid of wolves or bears, or wild beasts of any sort, but I am afraid of man.

The snake wriggled to the leg of the table. "Look out!" cried Sal, gathering up her skirts and dancing about on the sofa. Mother squealed hysterically. Joe appeared. He laughed. "You wretch!"
"Get help and carry these bars up to my room right away." He failed to understand me, and I shouted and raved at him. A scared-looking little old man in a green apron appeared, and further two of the young men in flannels. I made a dash at them and commandeered their services. As soon as the gold was in my room I felt free to quarrel.
During a two hours' siege with the military man he had never lost his temper or his wits, and had come off the victor. When Bart had concluded his very creditable piece of business with Mr. Martin of the pickle factory, he had sent Darry and Bob Haven back to bed, and had forthwith returned to the express office. Colonel Harrington, scared-looking and sullen, was still there.
For at 8.30 a forelady appeared at that very spot, just suddenly was—and in a pleasant tone of voice announced, “We don't need any more help, male or female, this morning!” Two scared-looking girls just in front of me screwed up their courage and said, pleadingly, “But you told us Saturday we should come back this morning and you promised us work!” “Oh, all right!
