"What are you frightened of me for, Grace," asked Maggie. Grace started as though Maggie had indeed dropped a bomb at her feet. She looked up at Maggie, wildly, her eyes staring about the room as though she were looking for some exit of escape. "Frightened?" she repeated. "Yes, you are," said Maggie. "That's what worries me most. No one's ever been frightened of me before--at least I don't think any one has." Maggie laughed.英文原著 · 《The Captives》

"I don't think I ought to be judged as if I were in my sober senses," she replied. "I was frightened within an inch of my life. I told you this morning that I was dreadfully afraid of bulls, especially mad ones, and I told you that my nurse frightened me, when I was a child, with awful stories about them, and that I never outgrew my childish terror.

"My mother looks handsome when she is in a passion, does she not, Rose?" said Danville, quietly putting up his snuff-box as the old lady sailed out of the room. "Why, you seem quite frightened, love," he added, taking her hand with his easy, graceful air; "frightened, let me assure you, without the least cause.

Come, come, on this night, of all others, you must not send me away with such a face as that."英文原著 · 《AFTER DARK》
