So I was wondering about your sister and you, and that 's why I don't know; I guess I was just wondering. But I suppose you know lots of girls like that, don't you?" Joe nodded his head. "Then tell me about them something, anything," he added as he noted the fleeting expression of doubt in the other's eyes. "Oh, that 's easy," Joe began valiantly.
"I hain't ter be won by no battle, Jerry." "No, o'course not." He had brought himself back with an effort to a quieter mood and he even sought valiantly to muster the twinkle into his eyes and the whimsical note into his tone as he said: "But atter all, I'm a right easy sort of feller ter git along with, an' I mout be kinderly handy eround ther house.
Then there was a great sea-fight, those of Mordred's party going out in boats, great and small, to board King Arthur's ships and slay him and his men or ever they should come to land. Right valiantly did King Arthur bear him, as was his wont, and boldly his followers fought in his cause, so that at last they drove off their enemies and landed at Dover in spite of Mordred and his array.
All the speeches made by the challengers and defenders are reported by Holinshed, who thus winds up his description of the first day's triumph: "These speeches being ended, both they and the rest marched about the tilt-yard, and so going back to the nether end thereof, prepared themselves to run, every one in his turn, each defendant six courses against the former challengers, who performed their parts so valiantly on both sides, that their prowess hath demerited perpetual memory, and worthily won honour, both to themselves and their native country, as fame hath the same reported."

His dismay was great; but he was not discouraged, and several hours later he was at Standerton, riding from farm to farm to gather the men. This work delayed his arrival in the Free State two days, but he secured the entire commando, and went with it to the front, where it served him valiantly.
He dives again and again in his pursuit of folly, even tying stones to his wrists and ankles to keep himself down while he gathers the reflected fruit. After his rescue, which he fights against valiantly, as he lies gasping on the bank of the stream, he sees the fruit on the branches above his head.
"It can never be known what they will do next. They are wise. They are half cow. The bull-fighters never like them. See! He has turned!" Once again, baffled and made angry by the walls of the ring that would not let him out, the bull was attacking his enemies valiantly. "His tongue is hanging out," said John Harned.

"Lots is th' matter!" the little boy shouted valiantly, with a courage born of the importance of his tale. "My ma's chickens 'uz all stole, an' now he's over in th' woods!" "Who is? Who is over in the woods? Go ahead!" "Now th' rebel is!" "What?" roared the major. "Th' rebel!" cried the little boy, with the last of his breath.
