"It is not easy to remember all that an Indian says, an' a good deal of it is not worth rememberin'. Would you like me to set-to an' clean up the store to-day, or let the men go on cuttin' firewood?"
It was rare, indeed, to see two letters-of-marque set-to as coolly, and as scientifically as were the facts with the Crisis and la Dame de Nantes; for so, as we afterwards ascertained, was our antagonist called.
We had a famous set-to at rat-hunting all the morning in my father's great barns; and he played his part so well that I have liked him the better ever since."
And therefore nobody was more surprised than himself when, at the very first set-to, Captain Feraud laid himself open to a cut extending over the forehead, blinding him with blood, and ending the combat almost before it had fairly begun. The surprise of Captain Feraud might have been even greater.
Dawson and he had had a set-to fight a little time before, and though Dawson was the biggest fellow of the two, he had ultimately declined continuing the combat. The action performed by Bouldon was equivalent to a declaration of war to the knife with Blackall and all the big fellows who supported the system he wished to introduce.

Nat tried to close with him, knowing his advantage, but the mate stopped that, saying there should be fair play, and no fingering.
That was the education that made him able to fight Red Indians, and to be the stranger who might have been observed in the first chapter. I think it's time something happened in this story. So then the dragon he came out, blowing fire out of his nose, and he said 'Come on, you valiant man and true, I'd like to have a set-to along of you! ED. I don't care; it's what the dragon said.
"When you cease so lightly to discuss a noble-minded girl a friend of mine you will do me a great favor," Henry replied. "What's all this?" Witherspoon asked.
