As he finished this sage remark they all re-entered the library and grouped themselves around the table of smoking things. "That’s what I say," said Jack. "I think she’s much more likely to beat out than to beat up—I must say." "I’ll bet you she doesn’t," cried Burnett eagerly. "I’ll bet five dollars that she doesn’t." "I declare," said Clover, "what a thing a backer is to be sure.
Richard Lancaster found among his letters one signed "Your backer, Claude Locker." The letter began: "You owe her to me. You should never forget that. If I had done better no one can say what might have been the result. This proposition can not be gainsaid, for as no one ever saw me do better, how should anybody know? I knew I was leaving her to you. She might not have known it, but I did.
At the same time, both then and ever, Buchanan's patron and backer was the Lord James, a man with whom he was very much more likely to find himself in sympathy than with the young Queen.

Instead of taking counsel as to the choice with his old backer and friend, and a man, besides, knowing everybody employed and unemployed on the pavements of the town, this extraordinary Renouard suddenly and almost surreptitiously picked up a fellow God knows who and sailed away with him back to Malata in a hurry; a proceeding obviously rash and at the same time not quite straight.
Two huge bull-dogs, whose keepers can hardly restrain them, are placed in the pit, and the keeper or backer of each dog crouches in his place, one on the right hand, the other on the left, and the dogs in the middle.
