If I fail, which I do not expect, I will preserve my life as Lodin is doing; and the Fearless One here shall take his turn." Alwin was too wild with delight to remember any-thing else. "For that, I thank you as for a crown!" he gasped. Even as he stepped out to meet the foe, Leif smiled ironically. "Certainly you are better called the Fearless than the Courteous," he said.
"Some people wouldn't 'ave given you any-thing," ses Peter. Sam gave way at last, and then 'e stood by making nasty remarks while Ginger wrote out a paper for them all to sign, because he said he had known Sam such a long time. It was a'most daylight afore they got to sleep, and the fust thing Ginger did when he woke was to wake Sam up, and offer to shake 'ands with him.
Then Jose would return to writing a letter to his lady-love; not that there was any-thing to tell her, but because writing on the official paper of the consulate gave him importance in his eyes, and in hers.

"Did you?" said John. "Why man, the woman doesn't live who would forget! And Miss Davis filled the bill to the last item even the name 'Mary'." "Oh what a pal was M-Mary!" croaked Yorick obligingly.
Wot d'ye want?" ses Dixon, with a growl, as Bob came in at the door. He was such a 'orrible figure, with the blood on 'is face and 'is beard sticking out all ways, that Bob, instead of doing wot he 'ad come round for, stood in the doorway staring at 'im without a word. "I'm paying off," ses Dixon. "'Ave you got any-thing to say agin it?" "No," ses Bob, drawing back.
"Thar hain't nothin' but a few turkeys left, 'n' ye'd better bar out the gun 'stid o' the gal, anyway, fer that gun kin outshoot any-thing in the mountains." The girl had been silently watching the group as if puzzled; and when Raines spoke her face tightened with sudden decision, and she strode swiftly toward them in time to overhear the young mountaineer's last words.
