She lived in a world of men, lean, wide-shouldered fellows, who moved and had their being in conditions that made hickory withes of them physically, hard close-mouthed citizens mentally. But even by the frontier tests of efficiency, of gameness, of going the limit, Weaver stood head and shoulders above his neighbors.
"You are not angry?" he fumbled, looking for all the world like a bedraggled dog who knows he has been in mischief. "Angry?" Hilary fairly whooped. "What for? For saving the ship, Joan, all of us? Why, you little bit of pure gameness, you did the only sensible thing." Wat grinned from ear to ear.
Unaided, the doctor cleverly executed the professional fire-fighter's trick of raising, balancing on the back, and carrying an unconscious human body. With an overwhelming feeling of relief, not unmixed with admiration, at the other's gameness, Yorke watched him stagger away in the gloom, bearing poor George upon his bowed shoulders.
But he'd have thought that even Violet might be expected to see that a mere petulant restlessness wouldn't have carried her through; might have admitted, if only in parenthesis, the gameness the girl had shown. She'd made no attempt to get the cards stacked in her favor, as she might so easily have done.
Sam saw me catch this bonefish, and he was as amazed as I was at the gameness and speed and strength of so small a fish. Next day a bonefisherman of years' experience answered a few questions I put to him. No, he never fished for anything except bonefish. They were the hardest fish in the sea to make bite, the hardest to land after they were hooked.
The Irish mare followed, and with miraculous gameness, landed safely; but her hind legs slipped on the bank, a moment was lost, and "Baby" Grafton scarce knew enough to recover it, though he scoured on, nothing daunted. Pas de Charge, much behind, refused the yawner; his strength was not more than his courage, but both had been strained too severely at first.
By the time they reached the top the colts were under control and ready to behave for the rest of the day. The sparkling eyes of June met those of Bob. "Great, ain't it?" He nodded, but it had not been fun for him. He had been distinctly frightened. He felt for June the reluctant admiration gameness compels from those who are constitutionally timid.
Hence we can scatter the news to the four winds and ask for the comradeship of kindred spirits, of men who love the sea and the stream and the gameness of a fish. The Open Sesame to our clan is just that love, and an ambition to achieve higher things. Who fishes just to kill? At Long Key last winter I met two self-styled sportsmen.
But a personal interest in the people. I think I have never met people with quite the same qualities." "Their chief quality is gameness," said Cartoner, thoughtfully. "Yes, and that is just what appeals to English and Americans. I think the princess is delightful do you not think so?" "Yes," answered Cartoner, looking straight in front of him.
They now put the bitch to a Bedlington terrier dog and get a litter of puppies which are practically pure, but have much stronger jaws than they would otherwise have had, and also show much of the gameness of the bull-terrier, thus proving that physiologic as well as anatomic characters may be transmitted in this way.
