And when my dander's up, I wouldn't gin up fer the devil his-self. The preacher was so insultin' with his way of doin' it.
"It was a good thing for you that he did stop you," said the captain quietly. "You would have brought yourself into serious trouble by such a proceeding." "I know that," said Mr. Wentworth, "but who cares for trouble when his dander's up? Say, cap, may I have my rifle? Ackerman took it away from me."
"But everyone knows that the Americans are just the bravest people on the face of the habitable arth. I reckon their dander's not fairly up yet; but when they begin in arnest you'll see what they'll do." The farmer gave a grunt which might mean anything.

"No why should he?" said the sturdy Flanagan; "time enough for that when I make a brute of myself to him. But I dare say he'd smash me too.
I don't think he's got a show for the nomination, but my dander's up, and I'll beat him if I have to mortgage my house." The Honourable Hilary grunted, and ruminated.
