"You stand back!" he blustered clutching the purse to his breast and snapping open the blade of a huge jack-knife; but before Old Bunk could intervene Big Boy had caught up a rock. "You drop that knife," he shouted fiercely, "or I'll bash out your brains with this stone!" And as the Ground Hog gazed into his battle-mad eyes he weakened and dropped the knife.
You know how the Red Jacket, pent to bursting from a providential thunder-storm of the night, blustered down through the race with the pride of a Danube; how the saws sang, the logs rolled, the teamsters shouted, and the commissioners admired. You know, too, that the guests left before the waters abated or the punch-bowl knew drought; and that by the same token we won our fight.
His thoughtful, quiet, pleasant face, so often portrayed, is familiar to every one; it was the face of a man who never blustered or bullied, who would neither inflict nor suffer any wrong, and who had a limitless fund of fortitude, endurance, and indomitable resolution upon which to draw when fortune proved adverse.

"Suppose," she said at last, "I should sell my mine elsewhere; how much would you take for that grubstake?" "I wouldn't sell it at any price!" returned Judson Eells instantly.
Budd harangued his workmen, and threatened them with dismissal if they or their families were known to attend the evening lecture; and Mr. Tomlinson, on discovering that his foreman was a rank Tryanite, blustered to a great extent, and would have cashiered that valuable functionary on the spot, if such a retributive procedure had not been inconvenient.
And telephone the minute you find out where she is. Then I'll tell mother I gave her permission to go."

"She'll probably be in before I get around the corner.

"Woodward," he said, gently; "you climb on your cayuse an' do as Haydon tells you. Haydon is figurin' on cashin' in when you do." Haydon blustered. "What do you mean?" "I mean that if Woodward goes after the boys I'm goin' to blow you apart.
Monsieur Tagliabue stormed and blustered, talked about his acquaintance with the nobility; but the magistrate had seen too much of foreigners to place much reliance on their asseverations. "Who are you, monsieur?" "Sar, I am a gentleman." "What profession are you of, sir?" "Sar, a gentleman has no profession." "But how do you live, Monsieur Tagliabue?" "As a gentleman always does, sar."
