But I was not a painter only a longshore mooncalf and my eyes swam and my tongue swelled till I thought it would stick between my teeth as those of poor rogues do on the gallows, and I was chickenish enough to wish to blubber. And while I stood there, stockish and stupid, the pair became aware of me.
I was about as old as Doc, and we wasn't either of us very chickenish, but I thought Doc was the finest man I'd ever saw, an' exceptin' what I'm tellin' you, I ain't ever had cause to change my mind.

"You are a first-rate fellow, Charley, but you are too chickenish by half," said Tim Bunker. "I don't feel right about it, and I wish I had given up the purse when I found it." "Pooh!" "I meant to do so." "I know you did. You were just fool enough to do such a thing. If it hadn't been for me, you would have done it." "O, I wish I had!" "Don't be a fool, Charley."
Or would it be better to wait fourteen more Earth-days, till another lunar dawn? Hell no that would be chickenish procrastination. Rodan and Dutch were a good ten feet away from him he was out of their reach. With the harmless-looking trowel held like a dagger, he struck with all his might at the stellene outer wall of the dome, and then made a ripping motion.
"It was no use; it would only have frightened you, and you are chickenish enough without any help. But no matter, Charley; for my part, I am glad he turned me out. He only saved me the trouble of getting out myself." "Did you really mean to leave?" "To be sure I did." "What for?"
