Keller was man of the world enough to be amused at his attitude, and yet was interested enough in the lad's opinion of him to keep always an even mood of cheerful friendliness. There was a quantity of winsome camaraderie about him that won its way with Phil in spite of himself. Moreover, all the boy in him responded to the nester's gameness, the praises of which he heard on all sides.
The Kid, not being equipped with a retinue, nor bountifully supplied with personal admirers and supporters on account of a rather umbrageous reputation, even for the border considered it not incompatible with his indisputable gameness to perform that judicious tractional act known as "pulling his freight." Quickly the avengers gathered and sought him.
Instead of standing and serving grape, the rebel gunners tried to get their ordnance away facing about again too late, when the squadrons were almost on them. Then they died gamely, when gameness served no further purpose. The Rangars rode them down and butchered them, capturing every single gun, and leaving them while they charged again at the rallying hordes ahead.
George was nothing loath, and the two men, standing toe-to-toe, slugged each other with a perfect whirlwind of damaging punches to face and body. Even in the giddy whirl of combat, in either man's heart now was a wonder almost akin to respect for each other's ring knowledge and gameness.
Instead he smiled up at me for all his bulk I towered over him and there was a touch of gameness in that smile that I rather liked. I couldn't help telling him just what I thought. "I don't think you want anyone to look after you," I said. "You're as game as they make 'em.
Since the thing must be faced, she had braced herself to it. It was amazing what defiant pluck shone out of her soft eyes. This man of iron saw it, and, seeing, admired hugely the gameness that dwelt in her slim body. But none of his admiration showed in the hard, weather-beaten face. "So they make bushwhackers out of even the girls among your rustling, sheep-herding outfit!" he taunted.
Merry pandemonium broke out among the onlookers; they howled with shameless delight. It was hardly a pleasant scene to witness, though redeemed by the little orator's gameness. His face, when he took in what had happened to him, slowly turned the color of a sheet of white paper. With indescribable dignity, he descended from his rostrum, carrying the dog along, and walked out into the ring.
"By hivens, sergeant!" he spluttered, "if ye'll meet me afterwards, without your stripes on, I'll I'll give ye what Jan here'd give your bloody wolf, if ye had the honesty to l'ave 'em to ut." Jan dragged back momentarily, and in justice to Sourdough's gameness, be it said the husky struggled hard from his master's entwining arms to be at the enemy again on three legs.
And don't y'u like the system of lighting? 'Twas patented I forget how many million years ago. Y'u ain't going to play parlor girl now after getting the reputation y'u've got for gameness, are y'u?" But he knew well enough that it was no silly schoolgirl fear she had, but some deep instinct in her that distrusted him and warned her to beware.
So I laid my parasol lengthwise beside me, leaving the extreme corner vacant, by which I meant to say, "I'm perfectly game, as you see, but I'm perfectly nice too, remember." He smiled understandingly, and sat down four feet away from me. He leaned back nonchalantly and proceeded to test my gameness by a prolonged and undisguised gaze, which he directed toward me through half-closed lids.
