"But I say, how that nigger of yours scuffles along! He's leaving us quite behind." "He is sure-footed and accustomed to the rocks," I said as I watched Joeboy, who was getting higher and higher up the precipice to our left, as well as higher up the pass. "He wants to get up to where he can look over the Boers' position." "He had better mind," said Denham.
Charges and scuffles he held in contempt, and, when they were inevitable, slipped between Mulvaney and Learoyd, bidding them to fight for his skin as well as their own. They never failed him. He trotted along, questing like a hound on a broken trail, through the wood of the north hill.
By this time some of the men were recovering from the stunning effect of the blows they had all received, and there were sounds of rustling and scuffles. "Steady there, mate," growled one man. "What yer doing on?" "Well, get off o' me, then," said another. "Here, hi! What are you doing in my bunk? Hullo! Ahoy there! where are we now?" "Steady there, and don't shout, my lads."
Continual scuffles ensued: but the invincible resolution of the playgoers would not allow them to quail; it rather aroused them to renewed opposition, and a determination never to submit or yield. It also strengthened their cause, by affording them further ground of complaint against the managers.

"Why, Molly, do you expect that I can walk the streets of London from early morning till late at night, protect life and property, and preserve public tranquillity, as this little book puts it, besides engaging in numerous scuffles and street rows without making a hole or two in my socks?" "Ah!
I've been to far worse dives than that. I've even been in saloons over on Barbary Coast. But although I've been hurt accidentally several times in scuffles, and a bullet nearly hit me once, I seem to bear a charmed life. I suppose those do that want to die.
