"You're not still holding out for that ridiculous proposition you made me the other day, are you?" "Yes. And it isn't ridiculous, Madden. It's worth it." Madden smiled. "Look here, Drennen," he said easily, "you can bluff all you like now, but you can't go on bluffing much longer. You'll have to get down to business. Whatever your mine is worth is just what you can ask for it.
It must be remembered that he was submitted to an unceasing bombardment of complaints from 4,000 prisoners, overwrought from their incarceration, and ready to magnify the slightest inconvenience into a grievance.

Something in Tresler's tone had brought a light to their eyes which he was glad to see. "What is 't?" asked Jacob, eagerly. "Ay," protested Raw; "no bluffin'." "There's no bluffing about me," Tresler said quickly. "I'm dead in earnest. Here, listen, boys. I want you all to go out quietly, one by one. It's eight miles to Widow Dangley's.
"English politicians and Irish rebels said we were bluffing. Our own people the men outside there in the street thought we were in earnest. The English went on with their Bill. Our people drilled and got rifles. Which of the two was right about us? Were we bluffing or were we in earnest? We've got to answer that question to-morrow, and we'll never get another chance.

The former said, shortly: "If you make a move I'll brain you!" "That's me," seconded Mr. Broad. "Lift a finger, Danny, and we go to the mat." Royal regarded the two men searchingly. "D'you think I'll let you people stick me up?" he queried. "You're stuck up!" the Countess declared, shortly. "Make sure of this I'm not bluffing. I'll shoot.

"Dinged if I didn't think yeou'd got abaout enough of it bating against Oakdale!" exclaimed Crane. "Wonder where he gets so much money?" said Fred Sage. "He's bluffing," was the opinion of Jack Nelson.
And I tell thee, neither shall I have aught to do with Rolla! Rather death than dishonor!" Next moment silence fell between them; and then Van Emmon and Smith noted that both men had been bluffing in what they had said. For, sitting apart in the growing darkness, each was plainly in terror of the morrow.
The three queens just beat the three jacks, and I said, "I was trying to win that pot on a bluff." Our friend remarked it was not safe to bluff when such hands were out against you. I said, "That is so, but I thought you were both bluffing." We had something to drink, and started in again. I ran up two hands, giving our friend three aces, and taking four tens myself.
