"You have neighbors on the Sawdust Pile, Nan." "Yes. They came when The Laird was in Europe." "They would never have dared it had he been in Port Agnew. I'm surprised that Andrew Daney permitted it. I had thought of him as a man of courage, but, strange to say, these people outgamed him." "They didn't outgame him, Donald. He just didn't care.
"What distresses me is the knowledge that we are a very moral nation, that we have never subjugated weaker peoples, that we have never coveted our neighbor's goods, that we can outthink and outwork and outgame and outinvent every nation under heaven, and yet haven't brains enough to do our own thinking in world-affairs.
I had provided all the naval fixings before, realizing that we would probably have to use them some time, and that's all there is to it." "Well, Elsa, I'll say this that I don't believe that there was ever a schooner built that could outgame and outsail this one. She's a wonder!" For a while they talked of trite and inconsequential things.
"Skipper Peasley, are you going to let this landlubber outgame you? He has bid a million and three-quarters. Think of the present high freight rates and speak up, or remain forever silent." The bidding had so suddenly and by such prodigious bounds reached the elimination point that every piker present was afraid to open his mouth in the presence of these plungers.
"I fought him all over his office," he complained, "but he wouldn't come down a cent. I think we'd better take a chance and give him half a million." "Fiddlesticks! Stay with him, Matt. I know Hudner. He acts like he's full of bellicose veins, but anybody can outgame him.
"From what Bryce Cardigan told me once, his father attaches a sentimental value to that strip of woods; his wife is buried there; it's or rather, it used to be a sort of shrine to the old gentleman." "He's selling it because he's desperate. If he wasn't teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, he'd never let me outgame him," Pennington replied gayly.
Cappy Ricks always specified his own skipper and chief engineer. When Matt named his figure Kelton promptly shouted "Thief!" but made the mistake of shouting too loud whereat Matt Peasley knew he was not sincere and promptly decided to outgame him.
He hasn't the courage to face his little world after marrying that girl. And he has to make a living for her." "We shall see that which we shall see," Mr. Daney replied enigmatically. "I wonder if it is possible he is trying to outgame me," old Hector mused aloud.
You will have to outthink him, outwork him, outgame him, and when eventually you have won, you'll know you've been in the fight of your career. You have one advantage starting out.
Henderson thought he could force my father to buy at a certain price, and my father thought he could force Henderson to sell at a lesser price; they were perfectly frank about it with each other and held no grudges. Of course, after you bought Henderson out, you foolishly took over his job of trying to outgame my father. That's why you bought Henderson out, isn't it?
