Eh, I was feard I wud dee on the open street; I was that! Mysie Meldrum noticed me, an' she cam' rinnin' to speer what was ado. "I've taen an awfu' dwam, Mysie," says I. "I think I'm genna dee. Ye micht juist sit doon on the railin's aside's till the fowk be by." "I think we're aboot the henmost, Bawbie," says she. "We're gey late; but I'll bide aside you, lassie."
En ez fer dis yer Jeff, I'm gwine ter do des w'at I promus', so de darkies on dis plantation'll know I means w'at I sez. "Fer Mars' Dugal' had warned de han's befo' 'bout foolin' wid cunju'ation; fac', he had los' one er two niggers hisse'f fum dey bein' goophered, en he would 'a' had ole Aun' Peggy whip' long ago, on'y Aun' Peggy wuz a free 'oman, en he wuz 'feard she'd cunjuh him.
She made an effort to rally his courage. She had more faith in it than in her own. "'Feard o' him!" she exclaimed, with a sharp tonic note of satire. "Kem in an' view him." "Laurely," he quavered, "I oughter hev got it down in writin' from him; I oughter made him sign papers agreein' fur me ter keep the boy till he growed ter be his own man." She, too, grew pale.
"Aye an' the last twain wi' a bullet apiece in their skulls. Oh, rare! Dear heart hold my head so, atween thy hands. 'Put on his cast off duds, said Alsie, 'an' stand afore the glass, sayin' "Come, true man!" nine-an'-ninety time. I was mortal 'feard o' losin' count; but afore I got to fifty, I heard thy step an' hold me closer, Jack." "But Joan, are these men dead, say you?" "Surely, yes.
"If you are a Catholic, and believe your faith the best, or the only true one, why do you not practise its teachings, and fulfil all the requirements of your church? I am sure neither father nor mother would blame you." "O miss, I feard, I feard," the poor, timid soul would answer.
But, Cis, w'y don't y' skedaddle right now? Go whilst the goin's good! Gosh, I'm 'feard that some one's likely t' git hurt pretty bad, and it won't be Barber! So whoever it is will need t' be nursed." "Oy! oy! oy! oy!" lamented Mrs. Kukor. "I'll nurse him!" cried Johnnie, hardly able to keep back the tears. "I'll go with him, and take care of him, and cook for him."
I conclude then, returning to the purpose of being feard, and belov'd; insomuch as men love at their own pleasure, and to serve their own turne, and their fear depends upon the Princes pleasure, every wise Prince ought to ground upon that which is of himself, and not upon that which is of another: only this, he ought to use his best wits to avoid hatred, as was said.
"That ar wasn't right, I'm 'feard, Mas'r George." "Can't help it! I say it's a shame! Look here, Uncle Tom," said he, turning his back to the shop, and speaking in a mysterious tone, "I've brought you my dollar!" "O! I couldn't think o' takin' on 't, Mas'r George, no ways in the world!" said Tom, quite moved.
"A' 'll come for ye, Tammas, gin there be danger; but what are ye feard for wi' the Queen's ain surgeon here?" Fifty minutes did the flair rise and fall, save twice, when Tammas crept to the door and listened, the dog lifting his head and whining.
Then he wad sit half the day and half the nicht forby, which was scant decent writin', nae less; and first they were feard he wad read his sermons; and syne it proved he was writin' a book himsel', which was surely no fittin' for ane of his years an' sma' experience.
