John, who could outrun any man at Dartmouth, vaulted over the fence and had hold of the brass handle before Oliver could open the gate. "Fair-play!" cried Oliver, and they each grasped a handle either one could have held it out at arm's length with one hand and brought it up the garden- path, puffing away in pantomime as if it weighed a ton, and into the house.
Is it anything but kindly and thoughtful respect for others, helping the helpless, succoring the needy, befriending the friendless and forlorn, doing justice, requiring fair-play, and withstanding with every honorable means the bully of the church and caucus, of the drawing-room, the street, the college? Respect, young gentlemen, like charity, begins at home.
The Irish sailor, partly from some slight feeling of co-nationality, and partly from a natural instinct of fair-play, had taken sides with the British tar; and, as a consequence, had invoked the hostility of the Frenchman.
But English fair-play doesn't stand transplantation to Australia, except in patches of suitable soil. For instance, when bar-loafer meets pimp, at £1 a side, then comes the raw-meat business.
Your mutiny once ended, and a little repented of, he is ready to be your gracious Prince again: Fair-play and the social wine-cup, or inexorable war and Lazy Peg, it is at your discretion which. Brandenburg submitted; hardly ever rebelled more.
They that took the sword must perish by the sword. But in the hour of victory we must uphold the end for which we have fought and suffered, the advance of the world towards a peaceful life founded on reason and justice and fair-play for every man. So there are two heads to this sermon. First, the indelible remembrance of a righteous acceptance of war.
The back-country man, though saturnine, is very rarely quarrelsome, and almost never a pugilist; nevertheless, his foot on his native salt-bush, it is not advisable to assault him with any feebler weapon than rifle-and-bayonet. There is a radical difference, without a verbal distinction, between his and the Englishman's notions of fair-play.
By the independent portion of the meeting, this harangue was listened to with considerable impatience; but he had, nevertheless, every sort of fair-play shown him, from their natural conviction, that, as I was present, I should have an opportunity of replying to these infamous charges: it was this conviction alone that procured him a hearing, and gave him an opportunity of uttering such diabolical and premeditated falsehoods.
No better proof could be given that the good-humoured magnanimity and sense of fair-play on which English people pride themselves is more than an empty boast than the reception accorded to Defoe's True-Born Englishman. King William's unpopularity was at its height.
Self-restraint was obvious in every trembling fist and glancing eye. Only curly-haired little Jim found the smell too much for him. He was about to risk reputation and everything, when a glance from his father quelled the rebellious spirit. "Come, Jim, fair-play. Let it go right round, like the sun, beginning wi' mother."
