There is nothing like the perils of whaling to breed this free and easy sort of genial, desperado philosophy; and with it I now regarded this whole voyage of the Pequod, and the great White Whale its object.
"They're a-talkin' to yer, Bill," resumed Caney, of Texas, "an' they're the convincenist talkers I ever seed." The desperado turned his eyes away; but Caney moved the child so its bleeding feet were still before its father's eyes. The remaining men all retired beneath the shadow of the tree, for the tender little feet were talking to them, too, and they were ashamed of the results.
Chino was already half an hour gone by the trail, and the Reno Kid was a desperado of the deadliest breed known to the West. How he came to turn up here there was no time to inquire. He was on hand, that was the point; and Reno Kid always "shot to kill." This would be no mere hold-up; it would be murder.
Joining the lady, whose tears were of the nerves, he made offer of his devotion in any shape; and she was again in the plight to which a desperado can push a woman of the gentle kind. She had the fear of provoking a collision if she reminded him, that despite her entreaties, he had compelled her, seconded by her aunt as he had been, to submit to his absurd protection on the walk across the park.

It was a lazy summer day, and an awfully long one, and the witnesses were tedious.
Doubt had come into her eyes; she was looking half fearfully at him, and he saw that she half suspected him of being a desperado, intent on doing harm. He grinned, moved to mirth. She was reassured; that smile had done it. She returned it, a little ruefully. And she felt that, in view of the circumstances, she might dispense with formalities and get right down to business.
Even to look upon this doughty desperado would be an honour and a joy to the brawny scoundrels who made up the crew of the Revenge.
And as long as you are on horseback you are perfectly safe, anyway, even from a lion." "There she goes talking about lions again," murmured Bess. "I feel as though I were on the African veldt." "Let's all learn how to use firearms," said Nan eagerly. "Why shouldn't we?" "Why, Nan Sherwood! you have the instincts of a desperado," declared her chum. "I can see that."
Along the walls hang a rope with which Mr. Cumberland won a roping and tieing contest in his youth a feat upon which he prides himself highly; at another place hang the six-shooters of a notorious desperado, taken from his dead body; there is the sombrero of a Mexican guerilla chief beside the picture of a prize bull, and an oil painting of Mr.
