I was to see them suffer and to learn to respect their gameness, and the wry, "grousing" humour which is their almost universal trait. In my own wards, and elsewhere in the hospital, I came in close contact with many cockneys of the slums.
"I want to tell you something more about the personal side of this great man," continued the voice from the horn. "One of the striking things about Thomas Alva Edison is his gameness.
Then came a crashing blow in his face another, and another. With head bent down, Jack held on his grip with the gameness and tenacity of a bull-dog, while the blows rained on his head, and his assailant, in his desperate effort to free himself, swung his body hither and thither in the air, as a bull might swing a dog which had pinned him.

Make light of the fighting virtues of Spey fish exalt above them the horn of the salmon of Tay, Ness, or Tweed and Geordie loses his temper on the instant and overwhelms you with the strongest language.
