"Then, of course, I didn't," I cried warmly; "I thought you the bravest, pluckiest fellow I had ever seen." "Lay it on thick, old fellow," he said huskily; "butter away. Can't you think of something a little stronger than plucky and brave and don't take any notice of me, Val, old lad. I'm a bit weak this morning." "Of course you are," I said sharply, and dashed off at once into a fresh subject.
What a name to give the pluckiest little craft that ever dipped her sides in angry foam! I had felt her, it is true, trembling for nights and days together under my feet, but it was with the high-strung tenseness of her faithful courage. In her short, but brilliant, career she has taught me nothing, but she has given me everything.
An' when I think how he saved our mis'rable lives for us, as he surely did, by givin' away his own that was worth more'n all of ours put together, an' ten times over I don't care a continental what his religious politics was; an' I'll punch th' head of anybody who don't say that he was th' pluckiest an' th' best man that ever lived!"
"I've just been hearing from Caw of how you rescued the Green Box at the first attempt to remove it. It was the pluckiest thing I ever heard of, and I'm under a tremendous obligation to you." "Oh, please don't!" she said, with a laugh and a blush. "You must understand that I hadn't a pistol that night. The pistol was an awful failure, wasn't it?
Reluctantly, Adrian did lift his portion of the heavy horns and helped carry them to the birch. He realized that the pluckiest way of putting this disagreeable spot behind him was by doing as he was asked. He was hopeless of influencing the other by any change in his own feelings and wisely kept silence. But they hunted no more that day, nor did they make any further progress on their journey.
I always think this climate is the finest in the world, and my friends are the dearest people in the world, and my work is the most essential thing in the world. Probably I fool myself. But I know one thing for certain: You're the pluckiest little idiot in the world." "And so you are about to flay me alive." Carol was cheerful about it. "Am I? Perhaps.
He's the pluckiest boy I ever knew." "I am very pleased to hear it," she answered. "He's a dear boy!" "He's a brick," Trent answered. "We've been in some queer scrapes together I've lots of messages for you! By the by, are you alone?" "For the moment," she answered; "Mr. Davenant left me as you came up. I'm with my cousin, Lady Tresham. She's on the lawn somewhere."
"Halloa, Marten," he said, "I've just seen the pluckiest thing; that man Ward, you know him, fairly saved a girl's life. She fell out of a punt on the Cher, a pretty girl too. Ward's a lucky brute, you ought to have been there." "I've heard all about it," I answered. "But it only happened an hour ago." "Ward told me, he didn't think much of it."
She found Struve busy in his private office, but he leaped to his feet on her entrance and came forward, offering her a chair. "Good-morning, Miss Helen. You have a fine color, considering the night you passed. The Judge told me all about the affair; and let me state that you're the pluckiest girl I know."
What we wanted was somebody to echo our laughter, to climb trees with us, and return the ball well; and as the pluckiest, liveliest, and most active boys were best fitted to meet these requirements, it was upon them that our choice usually fell. But did we feel kindly towards the weaklings?
