He had lived in a state of perpetual wonderment since the Rialla and barely dared to breathe.

The stretched toe still barely dared touch ground, and still turned inward.

The challenge Jinesse barely dared to utter fell eclipsed in the leap of white spray from the bow.

After he regained consciousness he barely dared breathe because the slightest movement hurt him unbearably.

He did nothing so boorish as gloat; in fact, he barely dared to celebrate.

Toward the new world Kait barely dared to imagine.

She barely dared to breathe as he stared at her.

She bit her lip and did not dare to move, barely dared to breathe, until he opened his eyes again.

A year ago, people barely dared whisper his name.

The first time I'd been so stunned and awestruck by the place I'd barely dared to sit down.
