At this point the starling interrupted the youth's vehement speech with the appropriate cry, "My strength! my strength!"
When in this condition, Dominick suddenly delivered first a left and then a right hander into what is sometimes called the breadbasket, and stretched his adversary on the sand. Dominick was not boastful or ungenerous. He did not crow over his fallen foe. On the contrary, he offered to assist that smitten scorner to rise, but Malines preferred in the meantime to lie still.
As it fell, the bones of the trestle came into view stage after stage and passed upward. The Indian chuckled. "Durn good!" "Somebody's got to do something durn good," Torrance returned sulkily.

"Very likely," replied the skipper drily; "he's precious fond of his breadbasket, that young gentleman. I don't think he'll ever starve where there's any grub knocking about. Fancy a fellow, calling himself a man, thinking of his belly at such a moment! Go, Haldane, and call him up again and tell him I want him."
"There's seventeen silk and satin dresses, and a whole heap of trinkets, that can be of no earthly use to him." "Don't Breadbasket me, mem, if you please, mem. My master says that them things is quite obnoxious to your sphere of life. Breadbasket, indeed!" And so she sailed out.
