"I wish I knew his name." "I cannot tell you. I can tell you nothing further about him; but now that I have escaped I feel rather as if I were playing a coward's part by running away." "Why? You are not a rebel." "True; yet I count for something in my own neighbourhood and might stretch out a protecting arm."
Whitecraft, the self-constituted champion of Protestantism, had about as much religion as Satan himself or indeed less, for we are told that he believes and trembles, while Whitecraft, on the contrary, neither believed nor trembled. But if he did not fear God, he certainly feared man, and on the night in question went home with as craven a heart thanks to Lanigan as ever beat in a coward's bosom.
Two forty-fives hang by his narrow hips; there is a hint of the cavalier in his dropping sombrero and his ornately patterned boots. This is Wild Bill Hickok; he was to have gone with Custer, but a coward's bullet cheated him out of the chance to die fighting by the Little Big Horn and they buried him in the Black Hills in the spring of 1876.
A word would make it clear. But the sun would never strike again into his heart if he should go back to it under that coward's reprieve, and Alice Alice would scorn his memory. Progress was swifter the next day. The prosecuting attorney, apparently believing that he had made his case, dismissed many of his remaining witnesses who had nothing to testify to in fact.
He heard the muffled report, saw the flash of the little weapon, saw the two holes in the carven woodwork, and gained a greater, hysterical courage the courage of a coward's desperation.

And if her girl should do this thing, which would make her life a burden to her, how good it would be for her to die! She did not fear to die, and she feared nothing after death; but with a coward's dread she did fear the torment of her failure if this girl should become the wife of Daniel Thwaite.
The steady, honest, bold look in Fred's eyes was far more effective than a blow would have been; but as soon as Fred had passed him he turned and struck him a quick, stinging blow between his shoulders. "That's mean," said Fred, wheeling round. "Strike fair and in front if you want to, but don't hit in the back that's a coward's trick."
Confidence indeed a blissful ignorance can impart, ay, even to a coward's breast, but disdain is the privilege of those who, like us, have been assured by reflection of their superiority to their adversary.
The little army came to a halt, and a poor-looking man, clad in a skin coat, and trembling violently as they dragged him along, was brought before Estein. "Spare my life, noble captain!" he pleaded, casting himself on his knees. "I am but a poor man, I beseech you." "Silence, rascal!" thundered Ketill, "or we will have your coward's tongue out by the root."
And therewith the little imp scurried off, pulling the lobes of his ears suggestively as he darted around the corner. The others looked at one another for a while in silence. "So, comrades," said Myles at last, "what shall we do now?" "Go, and tell Sir James," said Gascoyne, promptly. "Nay," said Myles, "I take no such coward's part as that.
