Scaring decent folk out of their wits with this nonsense.

You're shaking all over. You were scared. I was scared too, so scared.

Scarry?

I mean kooky!

Tie up yourself, we'll catch you out. Carefully! Martin!

Our people will, therefore, not be subdued by any words or pressure of others.

You look terrible.

Just flash it, scare the guy. He's a punk.

Particularly creepy.

This is horrifying.

Oh, this is terrible.

Ooh, it was shocking here.

It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.

But the fighting's right fearsome?

Am I that frightening, Geoffrey?

Really terrible.

Scary reading.

I've done a lot worse.

It was sort of a spooky story.

Oh, I must look a fright!

You ask an awful lot of questions.

And some days, that can even be a little scary.

It was just frightening.

And the problem with that is that people freak out.

It wasn't, was it?

Why not scare them a bit?

Let's give him a fright.

Only at first.

The people are frightened. Some are beginning to leave their homes.

Nearly frightened the life out of the memsahib!

I figured the worst they was gonna do was lean on him a little bit.

Frightened to death? What by?

Frighten him, and he'll speak.

They just probably figured on scaring him and, you know, just scare him out of town.

You feel frightened. Of course you feel frightened.

People seem to be frightened, even terrified.

The approach of death terrifies.

It's even worse when you smile.

that's the damnedest thing I ever saw.

So I went along just to scare him.

He's from Crete. Those people don't make idle threats.

They look positively prehistoric and a bit scary.

Which threatened to make him a criminal.

Rip, at last. That man scared me.

Look at the elders. They're stunned.
