"Shadowing the shadowers?" queried Kennedy, keenly watching the play of his features under the arc-light of the street. "Miss Cynthia asked me to follow her mother the other night," he answered, quite frankly. "And I have been doing so ever since." It was a glib answer, at any rate, I thought. "Then, perhaps you know something of Reba Rinehart, too," bluffed Kennedy.
Once the free fall lasted until Cochrane began to feel uneasy. But then the rockets roared once more and boomed loudly as if the ship were leaving the planet altogether. But Cochrane was talking business. In part he bluffed. In part, quite automatically, he demanded much more than he expected to get, simply because it is the custom in business not to be frank about anything.
I said, 'I can't run up to the Rings without getting tired, nor gallop a horse out of this view without tiring it, so what is the point of a boundless continent? Then I saw that she was frightened of me, and bluffed a bit more, and in the end I was nipped. She caught me just like her! when I had nothing on but flannels, and was coming into the house, having licked the Cadchurch team.
Twice running he caught you last night bluffing on no hand at all; and I don't know what fabulous stakes were up with your nods and signs. It's no use your trying to bluff that fellow. He won't be bluffed." "The thing is as broad as it's long, man," Lionel said, impatiently. "If he is determined to see me every time, he must be caught when I have a good hand it stands to reason.

"This makes six times I've been bluffed by sharks, and I've only half killed one," he said savagely. "We'll strike it again before we've done, boys, and if a shark gets at me then well, he can have it, that's all."
I've got money, plenty of money medicine, mines, land got it for me. I've been lucky. Now you come to bluff me me! You don't know old Busby." He spat on the floor. "I'm not to be bluffed. I know too much. Before they could lynch me I'd talk. But to play you, the greatest gambler in the West, for two thousand dollars yes, I'd like the sting of it again.
Man, I'd give a thousand dollars to know how they got possession of our signals. Those shots, that bluffed us, were fired by some of the gang. How did they learn it? It's been done by spying, but say, get on back to camp, and prepare the report of last night. Hold it up for me, and I'll enclose a private letter to Mr. Jason. I'll be along later." McBain nodded.
The squat puncher came up and looked down angrily at the boy lying on the bunk. "I'll serve notice right now that if you make any breaks I'll fill your carcass full of lead," he growled. The prisoner knew that he was nursing a grudge for the blow that had floored him. Not to be bluffed, Curly came back with a jeer. "Much obliged, my sawed-off and hammered-down friend.
She gained the one end she had schemed for throughout to get past the risks of the public marriage and back to her struggle in obscurity, unmolested, unpitied, unshamed. The Urquharts wrote, and Mr Thornycroft, when he sent his present; but she had "bluffed" them with her implied misrepresentations, and hurt their feelings by not wanting them at the wedding.
