I do not say to every one that I always pronounce her name in German fashion because she occasionally shies, but that is the truth.
I must have shied at it as a horse shies at an object it fears. Lop-Ear took a smashing fall as he ran beside me. An arrow had driven through the calf of his leg and tripped him. He tried to run, but was tripped and thrown by it a second time. He sat up, crouching, trembling with fear, and called to me pleadingly. I dashed back. He showed me the arrow.
'She must learn to stand what use is she to me in this country, if she shies and goes off every time an engine whistles. 'But why inflict unnecessary torture? said Ursula. 'Why make her stand all that time at the crossing? You might just as well have ridden back up the road, and saved all that horror. Her sides were bleeding where you had spurred her. It was too horrible ! Gerald stiffened.
We wonder if she is a fairy, but instantly conclude that she is not, for in measuring out a peck of onions she spills some of them; a small boy laughs at the mishap, and she indignantly shies the measure at his head.

Superstition is born of ignorance, and we can see the germ of it in the child who is frightened by a bogie, or the horse that shies at the moonlight." "Its higher parent is a belief in the unseen." "In any case it has done an immense amount of harm," said the professor. "And probably quite as much good," responded Miss Carmichael. "However, don't think me a friend of superstition.
"Well a 'Nigger-head' then, blacks my face sticks my 'ead through a 'ole, and lets 'em shy at me three shies a penny them as 'its me gets a cigar a big 'un them as don't don't!"
