She seemed to be playing a little game of mockery and nonsense with him, but he had glimpses of a flashing danger in it; he was but too sensible of being outclassed, and had somewhere a consciousness that he could never quite know this giddy and alluring lady, no matter how long it pleased her to play with him. But he mightily wanted her to keep on playing with him.
As he said this, Doe edged closer to me, and I wondered if Radley was a decent chap. "But why do you sign yourself 'S. Ray'?" Now my blush outclassed anything Doe had yet produced, and I looked in dumb confusion towards my friend. Radley refrained from forcing the question, but pursued with brutal humour: "Well, there's nothing like suffering together to cement a friendship.
I always prided myself on possessing a good eye for brands, but he outclassed me, reading strange brands at over a hundred yards, and distinguishing cattle from horse stock at a distance of three miles. We got fairly well acquainted before reaching the ranch, but it was impossible to start him on any subject save cattle.
She felt as if Gail Maddox, with her brilliant, careless sentences, and her half-insolent confidence, owned everybody there much more than she did: and she felt little and underdressed and outclassed to a point where even Gail might pity her, and probably did....

"No, Steve, I found him; but he persuaded me I oughtn't to travel so fast on this leg. You see, he had a rifle, and my six-gun was outclassed. I couldn't get into range, and decided to hunt cover, after he took another crack at me." "I should think you'd know better than to go hunting bear with a twenty-two." "It ain't a twenty-two; but, for a fact, it don't carry a mile.
It's all in the state of wind. If you think you are outclassed, you are. You've got to think high to rise. You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins. Is the one who thinks he can." "That's very inspirational," said Graham. "I must remember that. But doesn't it apply equally to girls?"
"He's good enough company for me," blustered Colonel Bouncer, scrutinizing his cards one by one. "I suppose so," agreed Washer with a smile at Johnny, "but he's so full of young tricks and we're outclassed. What's that property going to cost us?" "Three and a half million," stated Johnny quietly.
"Well, if this was a square game they might get their expectations stepped on." "A square game!" retorted the other. "What do you mean by that? What's the matter with it? So far, it's the cleanest game I've seen this year. "It's the dirtiest game I ever saw! It's cuc-crooked from the start. Oakdale hasn't a sus-show." "Of course she hasn't; she's outclassed.
My work got more and more spiritless, my behaviour degenerated, my punctuality declined; I was more and more outclassed in the steady grind by my fellow-students. Such supplies of moral energy as I still had at command shaped now in the direction of serving Marion rather than science.
This morning Captain Magowan, as president of the board, received a telegram from the Navy Department to the effect that four of the submarine types had been outclassed. The contest now lies between the Rhinds and the Pollard boats." "We've beaten the Rhinds boats, too," muttered Jack.
