The fellow doesn't know when he has enough." It was true Southern grit. It was the unyielding Southern spirit the spirit that led the soldiers of the South to make one of the pluckiest struggles known in history.

"Tullis is very anxious about his sister," ventured Truxton. Quinnox looked straight ahead, but smiled. "She is the pluckiest of them all." "Is she well?" "Perhaps a trifle thin, sir, that is all.

After all the man was a boy, and a beaten boy. "Are you hurt?" he gruffed. "No not hurt." The Parson thought he understood.

"Indeed I did," answered Grace, who was rapidly recovering from the effects of her fright. "He took me for the Empress Josephine." She related all that had happened, ending with the way she locked his emperorship in. "Well, all I've got to say is that you're the pluckiest girl I ever came across," said the man admiringly, when Grace had finished. But she shook her head.

There was a young coster-boy who came up our street with greens and potatoes; he had an old pony, not very handsome, but the cheerfullest and pluckiest little thing I ever saw, and to see how fond those two were of each other was a treat.
What they would have done last night if you had not come, God only knows. Poor Amy, poor Amy!" sighed the old doctor tempestuously; "she's the prettiest and pluckiest little girl in the city. She's half frightened out of her wits, I can see that, and yet nothing but force could get her away.
