"For the scrappy kid was beating it while the going was good and was half a mile away, running hard. Well, that was enough even for the Whiting guy. 'I guess we'll call it a draw, he says, 'and all bets off. I just looks at him and says, quite civil and polite: 'You darned half-baked slob of a rough-house scrapper, I says, 'it ain't a draw or anything like it.
But no sooner had his head disappeared in the hole in the old apple-tree than Scrapper the Kingbird struck him savagely. Instantly Mr. Blacksnake withdrew his head, hissing fiercely, and struck savagely at the birds nearest him. Several times the same thing happened.
There's a big fight coming on, I can feel it in my bones, and the best two-handed scrapper wins. Old W. H. Stoddard, when he had me in jail and was hoping I was going to be sent up, he tried to buy me out of this mine. He started at nothing and went up to twenty million, so you can guess how much it's worth." "Twenty million!" she echoed.
A boat was lowered and Captain Griswold and half a dozen sailors climbed in and put off for the submarine, where they arrived just in time to overhear Jack say that if the Germans in the submarine didn't surrender they would go after them. Captain Griswold laid a hand on Jack's shoulder. "You're some scrapper, youngster," he said.
"You're a fast, heavy and hard scrapper for your age, mister, but the other man simply out-pointed you all through the game. If you call him out again, and he meets you, he can kill you if he sees fit." "Sir, do you believe that I fought with entire fairness?" asked Darrin of the referee. "Fair? Of course you did, mister," replied Tyson. "Come along, Trotter."
I filled up on that forty-rod whiskey until I was crazy drunk, an' then I picked out the biggest man in town and fought him to a whisper." He sighed and glanced at his swollen knuckles, which still showed the marks of combat. "That feller was a jim-dandy scrapper," he said, smiling magnanimously, "but I downed 'im, all right.
Patsy was strutting to and fro, and conferring grandly with his friends. "He took me for a muff. He t'ought he was goin' t' bluff me out, talkin' 'bout swords. He'll get fooled." He addressed the Cuban "You're a fine little dirty picter of a scrapper, ain't che? I'll chew yez up, dat's what I will!" There began then some rapid action. The patience of well-dressed men is not an eternal thing.
And he was willing to bear it in silence if folks would just let him alone. Otherwise, not. Oh, most surely not! I kind of kept watch on Shelley's mad career after that. It was mad most of the time. He had already begun to fight as well as to use language, and by the time he was ten he was a very nasty scrapper.
Well, darn it, could I take that from a slob of a mixed-ale scrapper when it was handed out at the finest kid that ever came from New York?" "Of course not," said Kirk indignantly, and even Mamie forbore to criticize. She bent over the White Hope and gave his grapefruit-stained cheek a kiss. "Well, I should say not!" cried Steve.
Scrapper's slightly raised cap seemed all black, but if Peter could have gotten close enough, he would have found that hidden in it was a patch of orange-red. While Peter sat staring up at him Scrapper suddenly darted out into the air, and his bill snapped in quite the same way Chebec's did when he caught a fly. But it wasn't a fly that Scrapper had. It was a bee.
