And if he don't if those cursed Germans put an end to him then folks will say, 'See Jake Kasker over there? Well, he gave his son for his country his only son. Seems to me, Colonel, that evens the score. America gives us Germans protection and prosperity, and we give our blood to defend America's honor. I'm sorry I couldn't find a place for any more flags."
And you must not be discouraged and unhappy if you can't keep up just yet with Peggy and Billy and the others. Remember, while they've been racing their legs off you've been doing other things. If Peggy can beat you at tennis, you just ask her to play one of her pieces for you! Poor Peg, her fingers are all thumbs! Everything evens up in this funny world, child."
"Well!" he echoed. "Well, just this a gang that has guts enough to face shotguns with sheath-knives is a pretty tough gang, ain't it? And it'll be a lot tougher when it finds out it has four guns of its own, and plenty o' shells. And it kind of evens up the chances, doesn't it?" I was thinking fast. All chance to keep the peace was gone, I realized. Unless
Overhead a circle of large incandescent lamps made the scene as bright as day. "Well, d'you take it?" asked Seaman Jones of Seaman Smith. "Better strike while the grog's 'ot. A double-prick o' baccy and a gallon o' four-'arf, evens, on the Griller.
Sandys, "you and Jean Myles is evens now." But the passage that had made them all wince the most was one giving Jean's reasons for making no calls in Thrums Street.

Up till now, the betting called after each round had come to 'ten to one on Heenan'; it fell at once to evens. Heenan was completely staggered.
It is "Heath," "Ditch in," "Abingdon mile," "T.Y.C. Stakes," "Sweepstakes," "Handicaps," "Bet," "Lay," "Take," "Odds," "Evens," morning, noon and night. Mr. Jorrocks made bitter complaints during the breakfast, and some invidious comparisons between racing men and fox-hunters, which, however, became softer towards the close, as he got deeper in the delicacy of a fine Cambridge brawn.
“It is ten to one against the young un,” one of the men said, “but if he holds on for the first five rounds I would back him at evens.” “So would I,” another said, “but I doubt whether he can do so; the odds are too great against him.” “I will take four to one,” another said. “Look at the young un’s muscles down his back. You won’t often see anything better among lads two years older than he is.”
It is the foundation of number; for if you remove unity, you remove number; but the removal of number does not remove unity. The one surrounds number on all sides; for the beginning of number is the one, and it is also the middle of number and the end thereof. For number is nothing but an aggregate of ones. Besides, number is composed of odds and evens, and one is the cause of odd as well as even.
"The children of Thomas and Jane Stringer, died Sept'r 1754, aged 10 and 7 years." In Lewisham Churchyard is one of the death's head series almost sui generis. "To Richard Evens, died May 18, 1707, aged 67 years." The chaplet of bay-leaves or laurel doubtless indicates "Victory."
