But he's a man and a brother, and the Bible says that I'm my brother's keeper. I'll keep him agin fifty-'leven o' that old snortin' rebel and Copperhead Blowhard Billings. I wuzzent brung up in the woods to be scared by the hootin' of an owl." "We might take him along with us, Si," said Shorty, in a low tone, with a nod toward Abraham Lincoln. "We could make a bully cook out of him.
Look at de bloke a-jollying Jinnie, an' de Blowhard a-starvin'. Say, Patsy," lifting him down, "hold de line till I git de Big Gray a bite. Git on ter Carl, will ye! I'm a-goin' ter tell de boss," with a threatening air, weighing each word "jes soon as she gits back. Ef I don't I'm a chump."
In a few minutes he re-appeared, his face deadly pale. "Blowhard," he said, "the ship is sinking. Let us sound the well." We put our ear to the ship's well. It sounded like water.

"All right, then," said Bob Standish. "Go see the judge. He'll tell you the same thing. Mix's nothing but a bag of wind. He's an old blowhard." "Maybe he is," conceded Henry, soberly.
"Old Blowhard expects that the enemy will take us for the advanced frigates of a large fleet, and will probably think it wiser to keep out of our way than to come nearer," observed Captain Olding to his first lieutenant, "Though we should beat them, we should gain but little by an action." "I agree with you, sir.
Get yourself back in the shape you were this morning, and go out and try your luck. It'll just be bully if we can down this old blowhard."

"Keep mum," he said, with a very wise shake of the head "I only wanted to have some fun with them folks above us. I swar, I'll bet the whisky they thought I was scared!" Great character that Blowhard. "Hurrah! this is market day, Up, lads, and gaily away!" Old Comedy.

"'James Augustus de la Pluche, Esquire, to be Captain, vice Blowhard, promoted." "And his it so? Ham I indeed a landed propriator a Deppaty Leftnant a Capting?
"What he needs is a good thrashing, and, if he wasn't a sickly, insignificant creature, it would give me a right good heap of satisfaction to hand him one." "Bah!" said Herbert. "You're a big blowhard, that's all. It betrays lamentably poor taste on Miss Barker's part to prefer the company of a lout like you to that of a gentleman."
Some folks think she's a high-flyer but I don't blame her seein' as how she has that old blowhard for a husband which is true, if he is your pardner." Alice asked if the Strouts had any children. "Yes, they've got a little boy, an' he's a chip of the old block.
