"Well, the new feller, he didn't call no names, but I heerd Morgan say somethin' 'bout Lyle Maverick, an' so I guess 'twas her, but I knew you was always kinder sweet on her yourself, an' so I wasn't goin' ter say nothin', 'cause, 'nless you're a scrapper, you won't stand no sort of a chance with that feller."
Perhaps the accomplice saw a chance to get away with the whole of it by gettin' rid of Horikawa." "Mebbeso. By what you tell me yore uncle was a big, two-fisted scrapper. It was a two-man job to handle him. This li'l' Jap never in the world did it alone. What it gets back to is that he was prob'ly in on it an' later for some reason his pardner gunned him."
"Door's shut, partner, but the light's still on you c'n lamp a streak down near the sill, think he's on deck yet ain't cut an' run like a blue streak?" "We'll soon find out," Jack assured him. "'Twouldn't be like a guy with his reputation as a scrapper to clear out so quick. I'm wondering whether he's fixing up some hot reception for us when we break in."
I've heard tell he's got it all fixed with her. I've heard tell she's dead sweet on him. Wal, I ain't sure but wot it's natural. He's a good looker; so is she. An' he's a bright boy. Guess he's got the grit to look after a gal good. He's a pretty scrapper. Another drink?" Pete refilled his glass. His fury was at bursting-point, and Beasley reveled in the devil now looking out of his angry eyes.
Then came others, Redtail the Hawk, Scrapper the Kingbird, Redwing the Blackbird, Drummer the Woodpecker, Welcome Robin, Tommy Tit the Chickadee, Jenny Wren, Redeye the Vireo, and ever so many more.
I came here to be generous, to give you a last chance. I've fought tooth and nail, myself, for my place at the top, and I like a game scrapper, even if he is on the wrong side. You've tried to get me for years, but as I knew you couldn't, I didn't bother with you, any more than I would with a trained flea, and I bear no malice. D d if I don't like you, Blaine!" "Thank you!"
"Night school," said the boss. "I know a man that teaches in the Settlement over on Burk Street. I'll put you in there if you like." Now, the prospect of going to school to a man who had been head of a family for seven years, who had been the champion scrapper of the South End, who was in the midst of a critical love affair, was trebly humiliating.
Then, without speaking, they passed on up the hill and out of sight amongst the trees. Penny gave a sigh of relief. "He's a scrapper, and I thought maybe Dreer would try to start something," said Penny. "Who is? Beaufort?" "Yes, he's a sort of village bully. He's been in trouble two or three times. His father has so much money 'Babe' thinks he's the whole thing in Brimfield.
And the way he can touch a bat with his mitt and deflect it on the third strike without being detected by the umpire is wonderful. He's great for kicking up a rumpus in a game; but he enjoys it, for he'd rather fight than eat." "He hadn't better try anything like that on Rod Grant." "Oh, I don't know," murmured Rackliff. "Copley's a scrapper, and he can handle his dukes.
The fellow that's wrong is the fellow that is going to get the worst of it at the proper time. Grenfell only tried to help others. He never reaped a penny of personal gain. He always came out on top. It's a good thing to be a scrapper sometimes, but if you're a scrapper be a good one. Grenfell is a scrapper when it is necessary, and when he has to scrap he goes at it with the best that's in him.
