"If you come after me and worry me," said Kettle, coolly, "I'll give you my men to chop. Just you remember that, Mr. Waterloo. I think you know already that I am a fellow that never lies." The fighting ended, and promptly both the invaders and the invaded settled down to the new course of things without further exultation or regret.
"I'll let you know when I see you here to-morrow," said the boy; but Selwyn shook his head: "I'm not coming here to-morrow, Gerald"; and he walked leisurely into Neergard's office and seated himself. "So you have committed the firm to the Siowitha deal?" he inquired coolly. Neergard looked up and then past him: "No, not the firm.
"'T is murder, not satisfaction, they seek!" ejaculated Franks, below his breath. Another and yet another step each took, until there was not twenty feet between the two; then Lee halted and coolly raised his arm; one more step Brereton took as he did so, and not pausing to steady his body, his pistol was swung upward so quickly that it flashed first.
When he entered the corral he found Jack's accusers and defenders rapidly nearing a battle.

By this time, Kirby had received his orders, and he advanced coolly along the mountain, picking his way with the same indifference as if he were pursuing his ordinary business. When he was within a hundred feet of the works, the long and much-dreaded rifle of the Leather-Stocking was seen issuing from the parapet, and his voice cried aloud: Keep off! Billy Kirby, keep off!
"I shall not be disappointed," said Hardy, coolly. "I'll take care of that." Miss Nugent eyed him wistfully and racked her brains for an appropriate and crushing rejoinder.
