Daresome

Pa was coming along with that kind of daresome and hangdog look all at once like when he has been up to something he knows ma aint ^([sic]) going to like...

Lila's uncle found out he was hanging around and tried to scare him away, but Spence was daresome and he flirted openly with her, slowing down her work.

“It was daresome for a strange woman to come into that place,” he said. “Somebody tried to get under that dress tail before she got out the door.”
