"I reckon we're going to have war, Silas," said he, slowly; "but don't you think that your Mr. Lincoln scares me into that belief. I don't count his bluster worth a cent. No sirree! It's this youngster who comes out here from Boston and buys a nigger with all the money he's got in the world. And if he's an impetuous young fool; I'm no judge of men."
"Only my father says," she confided obediently, "my father says if you've got a worse foot for Heaven's sake put it forward and get it over with! "So I've got to call it a 'spree'!" smiled the White Linen Nurse. "'Cause when I think of marrying a surgeon that goes off and gets drunk every June it it scares me almost to my death!
Popular budgets will bring no relief to human suffering if the revenues that they secure are all to go upon the most expensive ship that is the fashion of the moment, nor can the popular mind devote itself to the improvement of domestic conditions while it is distracted either by ambitions or by scares.
He had come in and was sitting in the big chair by the table. But this time he didn't look right away as usual and give me a chance to slip quietly out of the room, as I always had before. Instead he said: "What are you doing there, Mary?" "N-nothing." I know I stammered. It always scares me to talk to Father. "Nonsense!" Father frowned and hitched in his chair.
"I am not good enough for such a creature," he owns to himself. He draws back before her spotless beauty and innocence, as from something that scares him.
I could imagine Juno on the heights of Olympus executing such a dream of mad luxury, but I could never have conceived of this, here, if I had not seen it. And yet, now that I see you in the setting, I'm sure you were made for it. The whole scheme is harmonious it scares me " "Scares you?" she repeated with quick displeasure. "Yes," he went on, jokingly.
"Well, I can't just tell you exactly why you can't cry when you want to," said Polly, afraid she wasn't going to say the right word, "but Mamsie could if she were here. I'll go and call her, Adela." And Polly sprang to her feet. "She'll come, I know." "Oh, no no," cried Adela, in mortal alarm. "I don't want her I mean I'd rather have you. You're a girl; and a woman talking at me scares me."
I felt that I was appearing an irresolute commander to those people who were watching me more or less critically. And, besides, there were the scares. He was doing something there with his back to me. At the sound of my voice he nearly jumped out of his skin, as the saying is, and incidentally broke a cup. "What on earth's the matter with you?" I asked, astonished. He was extremely confused.
Maurice"; and the monosyllabic Johnny Bennett, when told of some of Eleanor's scares, was bored. "Let's play Indian," said Johnny. It was only Maurice who found all the scares just as he found the silences and small jealousies adorable! The silences meant unspeakable depths of thought; the jealousies were a sign of love. The terrors called for his protecting strength!
Worry is the twister, the dwarfer, the poisoner, the murderer of joy, of peace, of work, of happiness; the strangler, the burglar of life; the phantom, the vampire, the ghost that scares, terrifies, fills with dread. Yet he is a liar and a scoundrel, a villain and a coward, who will turn and flee if fearlessly and courageously met and defied.
