afeared

  1. A regional variation of afraid.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;Why, that's true, sir,&rdquo; he said; &ldquo;though how you come to
know it, Heaven only knows. Ye see, when I got up to the door
it was so still and so lonesome, that I thought I'd be none
the worse for some one with me. I ain't afeared of anything
on this side o' the grave; but I thought that maybe it was him
that died o' the typhoid inspecting the drains what killed him.
The thought gave me a kind o' turn, and I walked back to the
gate to see if I could see Murcher's lantern, but there
wasn't no sign of him nor of anyone else.&rdquo;
<BR>
&mdash;Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in A Study in Scarlet
