While the storm lasts the only thing to do is to cheer up the women and trust to luck." "You're the nerviest mate I ever shipped with, Mr. Brewster," and the captain's hand gripped Monty's in a way that meant things. It was a tribute he appreciated. During the day Monty devoted himself to his guests, and at the first sign of pensiveness he was ready with a jest or a story.
And yet the men in the trained-animal game acknowledged him the nerviest and most nerveless of the profession. And yet his greatest fear in the world was that his large, stout wife, at table, should crown him with a plate of hot soup. Twice, in a tantrum, she had done this during their earlier married life.
Taking into consideration the state of nerves the team was in, this in itself was a calamity. A school eleven are always at their worst and nerviest before lunch. Even on their own ground they find the surroundings lonely and unfamiliar. The subtlety of the bowlers becomes magnified. Unless the first pair make a really good start, a collapse almost invariably ensues.
"Then, since we know each other, I want to congratulate you, my young friend, on being one of the brightest, nerviest, and most promising young men of America. I've read about you and that's why I sent for you." Ned could only conclude one thing and it made him blush. "You mean my dirigible balloon experience last summer?" he asked with growing embarrassment.
The robbery had been done, as one might say, under the nose of the greatest detective in the world. "Well, this takes my breath away," said Nick to himself.

"And what happened?" "Samuel stopped him." "How?" "It was splendid, Glad the nerviest thing I ever saw. He just flung himself at the rein and caught it and hung on. He saved my life, beyond question." And now Samuel, burning up with embarrassment, faced the full blaze of the girl's impetuous interest. "How perfectly fine!" she exclaimed; then, "Where do you come from?" she asked.
If Jawn had been present at the brief scene in Mattison's office that morning, or if there had been a friend at court to tell him of it, he would have been a happy man. The nerviest man we've got." And before the other could reply, Jim had turned from a conversation with Harvey to say: "Donohue's got to take out that train. He's on a switch engine at Tillman."
"I've seen some of the nerviest stunts that ever were pulled off in history. I've seen real heroes. Time and time again I've seen a man throw away his life for his officer, or for a chap he didn't know, just as though it was a cigarette butt.
But the schooner could not hold her lead. The little cutter made three feet to her two and was quickly alongside and forging ahead. Only natives were on her deck, and the man steering waved his hand in derisive greeting and farewell. "That's Narii Herring," Grief told Mulhall. "The big fellow at the wheel the nerviest and most conscienceless scoundrel in the Paumotus."
She shook herself free and sat weakly up, her lips tight compressed, her eyes apparently blind to all save that motionless body she could barely distinguish.
