The great explosions which succeeded were, at first, a little hard upon his nerves, but he saw that those who compassed them did not flinch when they came, and, after he had dodged ridiculously at the first, received the second with a greater calm, keyed himself to almost motionless reception of the third, and managed to sit listening to the fourth with self-possession quite as great as theirs, his face impassive and his frame immovable.
Peter's knees were trembling so that he could hardly walk, but he kept reminding himself that he was a "he-man," a 100% American, and that in these times of war every patriot must do his part. His part was to help rid the country of these Reds, and he must not flinch.
And you made a direct proposal?" "Showed her my whole hand. Made a square offer. Damme, I am not used to this sort of thing." "You don't mean that she refused you?" "Don't know what you call it. Wouldn't start." "She couldn't have understood you. What did she say?" "Said it was too much honor, and that rot. By Jove, she didn't look it. I rather liked her pluck. She didn't flinch."
Ginevra trembled, and looked at her father anxiously. The struggle within him must have been horrible, for his face was distorted. Ginevra knew the extent of the peril before her, but she did not flinch. Bartolomeo, meanwhile, cast furtive glances at his daughter, as if he feared a character whose violence was the work of his own hands. Between such natures all things must be extreme.
The next day he put up an empty can out from the door of the cabin and they had target practice. First he showed her how to hold the weapon and to stand. "See the can just over the sights and press back gradually," he urged. The first shot went wide of its mark. The second and third were no better. But by watching her closely, Bill found out her mistake. "You flinch," he told her.
Muller obeyed, and surveyed with some bewilderment, and without the least comprehension, the bold head and the well-built, muscular frame of Lord Beltham's murderer. Gurn did not flinch. "Do you recognise that man?" the magistrate demanded. Muller ransacked his brains and looked again at Gurn, then shook his head. "No, sir." "Gurn, open your right hand," the magistrate ordered.
"I'm sure we had no thought of deceiving you," responded Harry with one of his engaging smiles. "We are from the South, and you are from the North, of course. It may be that we are well met." "Oh, no! not this time. I have seen prisoners taken before," remarked the lady with a little smile. "Then you'll not flinch to see them taken again," said Harry very boldly.
"If you don't want to stay I can contrive some excuse," she whispered, as I lifted her down. "I'm quite willing to risk a royal breakfast if you are," I answered. "Brave man," she mocked, gathering up her skirt; "you wouldn't flinch at leading a forlorn hope." "Watch me follow one," I retorted, as I brought up the rear. "Which one?" she asked over her shoulder; but I did not answer.
The new Temple Barholm had boldly sought them out and faced them in their strongholds with the manner of one who would confront the worst and who revealed no tendency to flinch. The one at Stone Hover with the "pretty color" and the one with the dimples had appeared frequently upon the scene.
I'm no tom-noddy, to be gulled. And, hark 'e, be less glib with that 'rogue' of thine, or I'll baste thy back for thee." "Oh, don't beat Nick!" gasped Cicely. "Do na fret for me," said Nick; "I be na feared of the cowardly rogue!" Crack! the man struck him across the face. Nick's eyes flashed hot as a fire-coal. He set his teeth, but he did not flinch.
