He was indomitably cheerful under hardships and difficulties and entirely indifferent to his own personal safety or comfort. He so won the esteem and regard of the regiment that he was one of the three men we made honorary members of the regiment's association. We gave him the same medal worn by our own members.
He turned into Main Street at a broken speed, limping, parched, voiceless, flecked with blood and foam, snapping feebly at the showering rocks, but still indomitably a little ahead of the hunt. There was no yelp left in him he was too thoroughly winded for that, but in his brilliant and despairing eyes shone the agony of a cry louder than the tongue of a dog could utter: "O master!
It is natural enough for men who deal with the tiny, circling ball of a roulette wheel or with the turn of playing cards to deny any power higher than chance; but how of Napoleon, dicing for empires without end? and how of Columbus, sailing indomitably westward into the wheel of the sun? how of Shan Tung, surveying the rotting corpses of seven times seven cities of Chinamen slain by the Tartar sword? and how of Boston, on this February morning, looking white-faced on its own ruin, a ruin which, furthermore, seemed scarcely begun?
Already he hears them, as I have seen them, training in their camps from the Pacific to the Atlantic, racing across the Ocean in their grey transports, marching along the dusty roads of two continents, a procession locust-like in multitude, stretching half about the world, marching and singing indomitably, "We've got four years to do this job."
And then suddenly, out of the blur, and the dust, and the dizziness, and the half-blinding glare of lights, the figure of a Man loomed up directly and indomitably across the Youngish Girl's path a Man standing bare-headed and faintly smiling as one who welcomes a much-reverenced guest a Man tall, stalwart, sober-eyed, with a touch of gray at his temples, a Man whom any woman would be proud to have waiting for her at the end of any journey.

Now he was gone forever from her life. He was dead! She could never see him again. Ah! why had they not used the days of this life, so brief, so soon ended?
It was Pelle's own desperate struggle that was speaking through him now, but the refrain of suffering ran through it all. He stood before them radiant and confident of victory, towering indomitably over them all. Gradually his words became keen and vigorous.
How strange, the solitude of the bad painter outcast by the worst, and capable of making common cause indomitably with the good, had there been any such to take heart from his high courage! There was none.
She finally succeeded in boarding a south-bound Sixth Avenue car, though since it was her habit to ignore the near side stop regulation, she always had considerable trouble in getting on any car, and in seating herself bolt upright on the lengthwise seat, her black gloved hands folded indomitably before her.
If we git nipped badly she'll go like an eggshell." "And then what?" Rainey asked. "Git the gold! That's what we come for. If we have to make sleds an' use the hunters for a dorg-team." He laughed indomitably. "We'll make a man of you yit, Rainey, afore we git back."
