The consequence was that the blow landed on the side of his head when he tried instinctively to duck. It sounded horribly suggestive, and made Hugh's blood fairly boil as anger swept over him in a wild wave. Owen staggered and fell. Gamely, he attempted to scramble to his knees, and before Nick could prevent him had even done this, trying to strike back in return.
He would not really have hurt a youngster like Pee-wee but he would have made him look and feel ridiculous. But a glance at Pee-wee's gummy stencil brush reminded Mr. Gamely that discretion was the better part of valor. A dexterous dab or two of that would have put an end to all his glory. Pee-wee left no doubt about this. "This summer-house is on private land," he said, "and I'm the boss of it.
"Mrs Gas Ranter," it reported, "addressed a packed meeting in the Citizens' Hall last night, and proved herself the best public speaker who has been heard in Noonoon during the present campaign," &c. It recognised worth, and gamely gave the palm to the deserving, irrespective of party or sex, did not so much as insert the narrow quibble that she was the best for a woman.
He was short, with a retreating forehead and an overhanging wealth of black, thread-like hair, gamely covering the retreat as best it could. 'Hello, Smyth! drawled the composer, who affected a manner of speech usually confined to footmen in the best families. 'Hah d' do? 'Topping, Pyford. How's things? 'Rotten. 'Same here.

Slowly, but surely, Henry gained on both of his companions. His steed was the best of the three, and if Henry was a natural-born hunter and trapper he was likewise a good horseman.
The company of infantry which had helped to escort the guns proved however to be worthy representatives of that historic branch of the British service. They were northerners, men of Derbyshire and Nottingham, the same counties which had furnished the brave militia who had taken their punishment so gamely at Roodeval.
He fairly lifted his horse from its feet as he swung it around. In mighty bounds it carried him over the crest of the hill. Two hundred yards away, Carrick could be seen defending himself gamely against the combined attack of three mounted men. Something, even at that distance, about their uncouth horses and absurdly high saddles, sent a shiver of recognition through Carter.
But the noise grew greater while Linda Beach tried gamely to cover it up. It was not easy. In fact, it was impossible. One of the Toppers found himself cornered by two stagehands and dashed triumphantly across that sacrosanct space, the area in a camera's field of vision. He raced behind Linda Beach, then smiling pleasantly and talking at the top of her voice to cover the noise behind her.
It's the first time they ever worked, and they are sticking to it gamely. But it makes me feel terribly. Their mother never had to work, and I feel as though I have been a failure in life to have done as much as I have, and yet not have enough in my old age to protect them from the world." "There, there, Mr. Barton. I don't agree with you.
As I came in view of the three beasts thus majestically stalking their way towards the Platte for the luxury of an evening drink, the three shaggy heads were thrown up one steady look given, then round went the animals and away for the bluffs again.
