"Five of 'em, and the dead feller, shocking long-legged crittur he was; jumped out of a bush, and seized me by the bridle hokey! how he skeared me! Gun went off of her own accord, and shot him into bits as small as fourpence-ha'pennies.
Be good luck they was only stunned an' dreadful skeared, but no bones was broken." Mrs Denman found relief in a sigh. "Well, ma'am," continued Joe, "let me advise you to sweep yer chimleys once a month. When your chimley gets afire the sparks they get out, and when sparks get out of a windy night there's no tellin' what they won't light up.
I give a holler an' begin t' run, but b'fore I could git away another one hit me in th' arm an' whirl' me clean 'round. I got skeared when they was all a-shootin' b'hind me an' I run t' beat all, but I cotch it pretty bad. I've an idee I'd a' been fightin' yit, if t'was n't fer Tom Jamison."
"I dunno, Mars, what I's done, but I's skeared Mars mout be set agin me, 'cause he say he gwine sen' me offen de plantation." Then Harry explained that he was to be set free, and eagerly enlarged upon the delights of liberty.
I were dreadful skeared, and let drop the candle. I called to wife, and told her of it. She screamed out, and amaist fainted away.
Speaks as civil to me as if I was one of her own sort; and, says she, 'I should like to have you about me, if I might. I had it on my tongue to tell her she was mistress; but I was a little skeared at her at first, you know. But she will have me about her; I see it in her eye." Bassett was delighted at this news, but he did not speak his mind all at once; the time was not come.
How she managed to get back here puzzles me, poor thing, for she's jist for all the world like Rhona's daddy's daddy, Opi Bozzell, what buried his wits in his dead wife's coffin. She's even skeared at me. 'Why, you don't mean to say Winnie's back! cried the landlord. 'To think that I shouldn't have heard about Winnie Wynne bein' back. When did you see her, Sinfi?
And and I don't know what keeps me from slippin' my knife into that white throat o' yourn, except it is as you don't look not a morsel dashed, nor skeared, you don't; no more than you was that first night as ever I see your face. And I wish my eyes had been lime-blinded first, and I'd been dead and rotting in my grave." With anything like a contest, as usual, Maud's courage came back.
Don't be skeared, Sophy, when you read this, because we must look things in the face and call them by their right name. Well, then, let us call it the honey-week. Now if it takes a whole month to make one honey-week, it must cut to waste terribly, mustn't it? But then you know a man can't wive and thrive the same year. Now wastin' so much of that precious month is terrible, ain't it?
'I shall wait a bit, till the stars are out, said she. 'I know they're a-comin' out by the feel o' the wind. Then I shall walk up a path as Winnie knows. The sun'll be up ready for me by the time I get to the part I wants to go to. You know, young man, I must find her. She'll never come back to the cottage no more, now she's been skeared away from it. 'But I must accompany you, I said.
