I was goin' to stay, but bein' all alone I got skeered.... The sheep was doin' fine. Good water an' some grass. An' this ain't time fer varmints to hang round." "Jake, keep your eye on that flock," returned Isbel. "An' if I shouldn't happen to come back y'u can call them sheep yours.... I'd like your boy to ride up to the village. Not with us, so anybody would see him. But afterward.
Guess you'd most be skeered to death at a skippin' lamb bleatin' fer its mother. Can't say I ever heerd tell as a feller need be skeered of a pair o' gal's eyes, nor a sight o' red ha'r. You said it was red, Pete, didn't you? I'd sure say a bright feller don't need to worry any over talkin' pretty to a gal like that. She's up agin a proposition if she thinks she ken skeer me. Wher' is she?
Lacey entering the house, she staggered back a few paces, and tried to faint very gracefully. But the doctor caught her in his arms just in time to restore her to consciousness! Mr. Middleton now came toward them, exclaiming, "Lightning guns! What’s to pay now? Skeered at me, are you, madam or miss, whichever you be? I won’t hurt a har of your soft skull!" "Ugh-u-u!" said Mrs.
And if she is skeered, why, you kind o' hang round there to-night and act like you knew everything was all O. K." "But may be Hoover 'll be lonesome," suggested Barber Sam. He was a sly dog. "Then you go 'long too," said Jim Woppit. "Tell her I said so." Three-fingered Hoover would rather a good deal rather have gone alone.
Margery's answer was a moan. Tommy crept away with a troubled look in her eyes. "The horses broke their halters," Janus was saying as Tommy joined her companions. "Can't understand what skeered them into doing that. Jim must be having a chase, or he'd have been back before this. Want to quit?" "Certainly not," answered Miss Elting with emphasis. "But we should like to know what it means."
For ye see I war jest dosing away thar by the fire, and dreaming all sorts of things, like all nater, when somehow I kind o' thought I'd all at once turned into a man and gone to war a rale soldier; and the battle had opened, and the big guns war blazing away, and the little guns war popping off, and the soldiers war shrieking and groaning and falling around me, like all possessed; and men a trampling, and horses a running like skeered deer; and then I sort o' woke up, and jumped up, and seed all them dead Injen wretches; and then I jest begun to think as how it warn't no dream at all, but a living truth, all 'cept my being a man and a soldier, as you com'd up.
It's about a man who made his will and afterwards was a-drivin' a horse along a road, and the horse got skeered and ran over his executor, who was takin' a walk. Then he sung out, 'Oh, bless my soul! says he. But I'll read you the rest if I can find it." "Never mind about the anecdote," said Matlack, who knew very well that it would take Mrs.
Now I should a' said he'd a' bin glad to 'ear of somethin' new an' oncommon as 'twere, he likes it in the way o' flowers, an' why not in the way o' wimmin? But Passon ain't like other folk he don't git on with wimmin nohow an' the prettier they are the more he seems skeered off them."
"They wouldn't do nawthin'," he declared consolingly. "They're both powerful mawdrate hosses. Besides," the speaker stole a half-mischievous, half-shy look at her companion, "Thinkright'll tell ye it's one o' the seven deadly sins to be skeered of anythin' that's in heaven above, or the earth beneath, or the sea that in them is." The curving road was leading up a hill.
"It'll do as evidence when I want ter send this critter to jail, which I'll sartin do if he ever comes a foolin' 'round my traps agin. I bet that snake Bud Rabig set him up ter it. Skeered to come hisself, an' sends a boy. Now, you git!" This time the kick was so tremendous that it actually lifted Andy Lasher's crony clear off his feet, and started him in a mad flight along the edge of the swamp.
