There now, Kirby, I've covered your bet." "Perhaps you would prefer to raise it?" "You hell-hound no! That is my limit, and you know it. Don't crawl now, or do any more bluffing. Show your hand I've called you." Kirby sat absolutely motionless, his cards lying face down upon the table, the white fingers of one hand resting lightly upon them, the other arm concealed.
Agadir taught him that he must quit bluffing or make up his mind to fight." Again Switzer was upon his feet. "This is a slanderous falsehood," he cried. "How does this man know?" "I happened to be there," was the quiet reply. "How do we know?" again cried Switzer. "Will you kindly repeat that remark?" said Mr. Romayne quietly.
"What makes you laugh, Cartwright?" "Nothing," said Jude hastily. "Nothing at all. If you gents don't know Sinclair, it ain't up to me to give you light. Let him go." Nothing more was said during that hand which Whitey won. Jude, apparently bluffing shamelessly, bucked him up to fifty dollars, and then he allowed himself to be called with a pair of tens against a full house.
There's nothing more to be said. I've told you precisely how the case stands. Either you come back with us without a fuss, or we shall begin an action at once." I know now that Frank Jervaise was merely bluffing, and that they could have had no case, since Brenda was over eighteen, and was not being detained against her will.
Not once had that peculiar smile faded from Jack's lips or the glint in his eyes diverted from its probe of Leddy's eyes. His voice went well with the smile and with an undercurrent of high voltage which seemed the audible corollary of the glint. Every man knew that, despite his gay adornment, he was not bluffing. He had made his proposition in deadly earnest and was ready to carry it out.
Get your people into the boats." I had to show him I was not bluffing, so I drew off and began putting shells into him just on the water-line. When I had knocked six holes in it he was very busy on his boats. I fired twenty shots altogether, and no torpedo was needed, for she was lying over with a terrible list to port, and presently came right on to her side.
"I was pretty sure they were bluffing when I changed course and started after them. I had to hold our acceleration down to two and a half gees because I had to be able to move around the ship. And at that acceleration we gained on them. They couldn't beat us. And it wasn't because they couldn't take high gees; they liked six for comfort, you remember. No, they just didn't have the power."
As soon as it was over she had begun to rage and consult lawyers and write letters two or three times a week, threatening to drag Anne and Colin through the Divorce Court. Queenie, she said, was only bluffing. Queenie was not in a position to bring an action against any husband, she had been too notorious herself.
The laborer who works his land and his wife hard by day and night is not a forceful nature. His brain is very feeble. You say to develop one's self in every direction? Come, not all at the same time, not without rest. Those who brag of that, are bluffing a bit, or IF THEY DO everything, do everything ill.
The second night after my installation a man walked into my room without knocking, that is, he opened the door. "'Gee, the old lady wasn't bluffing, he said, in a tone of surprise. "It was early in the evening and he was properly dressed and looked harmless, so I wasn't frightened. "'Good evening, I said in my reserved way. "'Gave you my room, did she? he asked.
