Bill got a paper an' figured out what he called percents, showin' how an outsider was bound to lose to the game in the end; but most o' the fellers there had been up against Dick's game an' they took sides against Bill, tryin' to prove that they stood a show to win, until finally Bill give it up an' we started back home. When we started home, Bill was still discoursin' about us Westerners.
Pelle laughed and raised his face to the morning breeze which came like a cold shiver before the sunrise. Outsider! Yes, there was some truth in it. He did not belong to the existing state of things; he desired no civil rights there. That he was outside was his stamp of nobility; his relations to the future were contained in that fact.
"In the first place his nephew, a lad of fifteen, who is training as a mule-driver, is going with us, which is much better than getting an outsider; in the next place his wife is going with us." "Good gracious!" Bertie exclaimed, "what in the world shall we do with a woman?" "Well, I think we shall do very well with her, Bertie; but well or ill she has to go.
You realize that in such a company as this you are no better than a rank outsider, and that it behooves you to attract as little attention as possible.
They are not only a surprise to the outsider, but even to the Californian, who wonders at the skill and experience which made this feat possible.

If you would leave it open, and then when the day arrives, if I should find I could do so without without "
"Haf you no care for your healdth? You air not fit to take care of yourself dthat old voman in Acapulco vas right; you should nefer be leaf alone."

Probably a clay-eater, at that." He spoke the words with seeming carelessness, but really with deliberate intent. For the glum silence of a conch is a hard thing for any outsider to break down.

During the Revolution, Major André was executed because he came into the American lines as a spy, and at the same time General Washington was very glad to get a good spy to send into a British camp.
Many an outsider was tried, but the outsiders were either afraid of Melmotte's purse or his influence. Lord Buntingford was asked, and he and his family were good old Whigs. But he was nephew to Lord Alfred Grendall, first cousin to Miles Grendall, and abstained on behalf of his relatives. An overture was made to Sir Damask Monogram, who certainly could afford the contest.
