He encountered Crispin's eye bent upon him with a look he could not fathom, and much would he now have given to recall the two words that had burst from him in the heat of his rage. He bethought him of the unscrupulous, deadly character attributed to the man to whom he had addressed them, and in his coward's fancy he saw already payment demanded.
"But," continued Glyn, "if you think I am going to lower myself by fighting a dirty, cowardly hound who has struck at me behind the back like the dishonourable cur that the Doctor said he was waiting to see come and confess what he had done, you are mistaken." "There, I knew it!" cried Slegge. "You are afraid. Put up your hands, or I will give you the coward's blow."
"Here then is mine," offered the third knave. Yet, forsooth, the club was but a sorry one and so the unknown would not use it. "Then show you a coward's heart," replied he who would strive with him. And then the three rushed upon the stranger and would do him hurt. So now came bearing down on the three none other than Allan who had overheard the parley. "For shame, knaves.
"Ranald," Harry cried, beseechingly, "you know he is no coward; you did not mean that." By this time Ranald had himself in hand. "No," he said, regretfully, forcing himself to speak the truth. "I know he is no coward; I have seen him where no coward would be, but," he added, "he struck a man unguarded, and that was a coward's blow." "Macdonald," said De Lacy deliberately, "you are right.

The long arm shot out, the white hand pointed at him again. "You never came here from Diamond Town. That letter was a forgery. You have papers on you now that would prove you to be a spy, if you were taken. Ah, I can see it written in your coward's face!" The devil was at the woman's ear, prompting her.
"It was no coward's legs or hands, Harry Waakfelt, that drew you out of the fords of Fried, when you was drifting ower the place rock, and every eel in the river expected his share of you." "And that is true enough, too," said the Englishman, struck by the appeal.
With hate in my throat I tried to speak justly. "He has an intelligent mind, but a coward's spirit. I think the two elements war in him ceaselessly. I would not trust him, monsieur. Is he on friendly terms with Pemaou now?" "I do not know." "I wish you would find out for me. You have agents." "Madame de Montlivet could tell you." I felt Cadillac's eyes.
We will clear your name of stain. What became of that cowardly cur who lied?" Hamlin pressed one hand against his throbbing temples, struggling against the faintness which threatened mastery. "He he paid for it, sir," he managed to say. "He he died three days ago in Black Kettle's camp." "You got him!" "Yes I I got him." "I have forgotten what was the coward's name?"
She hesitated a moment before choosing that word, and as it fell from her lips, she glanced apprehensively at the blubbering Joe still lying in the dust, and saw for the first time that this rescuer, whoever he might be, was evidently unknown to Joe, for the coward's bloody face was even more scared than when she had been pounding it, and he looked as if he, too, expected to receive some punishment from the hands of the mysterious stranger.
