Me shake like leaf now, sah; but in forest, wiv de bugaboos, me melt all away to water." I had heard of the dread with which the negroes regarded the bugaboos, the evil spirits of the woods, and knew that there was but a poor chance of escaping if my guide were in a state of panic terror.
She refrained from judgment in his case. His case, for intangible reasons, seemed separate and different. But fear, as of formless bugaboos in the dark, burned in her heart at the idea of his influence perhaps being able, creepily, stealthily, to convert Gerald.
As he went waddling down the road, snapping through an ice-crust at every step, a roguish wind or perhaps it was one of the bugaboos that were known to haunt the shores of Gravesend Bay snatched off his hat and rolled it into the very doorway of the tavern that he had been warned, under terrible penalties, to avoid.
The Northern blood was at fever heat, and an unwonted defiance of consequences, a fierce contempt of ancient political bugaboos marked the utterances of men erstwhile timid of speech upon all questions relating to slavery. In the anti-Texas convention held in Faneuil Hall January 29, 1845, all this timidity disappeared in the presence of the new peril.
With respect to Dawson, I will confess to you, that I did once know him well, and that we have done many a mad prank together, which I should not like the bugaboos and bulkies to know; you will, therefore, see that I am naturally reluctant to tell you any thing about him, unless your honour will inform me of the why and the wherefore."
One of her pet bugaboos was that, now her brother was well-off 'cordin' to her idea of well-offness some designin' woman or other would marry him for his money. Down she come, first train, and she's been all hands and the cook, yes, and paymaster with Kenelm a sort of steerage passenger, ever since.
Humans in these 30,000 years did not change so if it was true in earlier times, it would have to be true now no matter what memory-bugaboos of the past spooked him to cling to another by a more common and domesticated lifestyle bugaboos that made him now see outlines of ominous forms in the corners of both the room of the guest house and in its amorphous darkness.
Here Pompey handed the bundle, a very capital cork leg, already dressed, which it screwed on in a trice; and then it stood up before my eyes. "And a bloody action it was," continued the thing, as if in a soliloquy; "but then one mustn't fight with the Bugaboos and Kickapoos, and think of coming off with a mere scratch. Pompey, I'll thank you now for that arm. Here Pompey screwed on an arm.
And Nan with you." "Dick," said Raven sharply, "we'll leave Nan out of this." Dick, though the tone was one that had called him to attention years ago, told himself he wasn't afraid of it now. Those old bugaboos wouldn't work. "I am going," he said, "to marry Nan." "Good for you," responded Raven. "No man could do better." "Do you mean to tell me," countered Dick, "you're not bluffing?
Her crazed imagination peopled the forest with weird uncanny things, and fearful tales she told of fays and bugaboos, of spectres and awful voices speaking from out the dank stillness of twilight hollows. Often she sent quaking to their pallets men who would have heard the war-whoop with scarcely quickened pulses.
