O-Tar was angry. He was angry with U-Dor for having entered this game for possession of a slave, for whom it had been his wish only slaves and criminals should strive. He was angry with the warrior from Manataj for having so far out-generaled and out-fought the men from Manator.
I do not see "white winged peace" brooding over this country. I see a people beaten, broken, out-generalled, and out-fought.

He was no coward. As he mulled over the situation his eyes sparkled at the thought of how, with his long-range rifle, he might have out-fought Cochise and his followers. But that was not the rub.
"Aye, lads, and verily!" answered Resolution. "Here's him as she calleth Martin O; here's him as out-fought Pompey " "Aye, aye remember Pompey!" cried a bedizened rogue pushing towards me, hand on knife. "Why, truly, Thomas Ford, remember Pompey, but forget not Job as died so sudden in the midst o' life he were in death, were Job!
The villains had out-paced, out-fought, and out-manoeuvred him; and even now were rolling merrily on to Bath, while he, who a few minutes before had held the game in his hands, lay belated here without horses and without hope, in a wretched plight, his every moment embittered by the thought of his mistress's fate.
