"I have given quite too much trouble already. I assure you I am quite well enough now to ride back again to Bantry."，Once upon a time there was a man who had fine houses in town and country, gold and silver plate, embroidered furniture, and coaches gilt all over; but, unfortunately, this man had a blue beard, which made him look so ugly and terrible, that there was not a woman or girl who did not run away from him."Will he live?" asked Captain Acton.
