Explanation:

The question asks for evidence in the text to support the idea that the author feels fearless. By analyzing the content of each option in relation to the author's feelings, we can determine the correct answer. Option A mentions a friend coming to hasten departure and having filled a wagon with valuable items, which doesn't directly relate to fearlessness. Option B is about a wagon at a late - hour and doesn't imply fearlessness. Option C is about the uncertainty of reaching a destination and falling into enemy hands, which is more about worry than fearlessness. Option D, with the author waiting for messengers despite the dusty and possibly dangerous situation, shows a lack of fear.

Answer:

D. Two messengers, covered with dust, come to bid me fly, but here I mean to wait for him.
