He ignored all private appeals and commands. The time had come for a show-down. It was either Landover and his little band of sycophants, or me and the entire company of men on this ship.

You would stand between her and trouble?" the other demanded abruptly. "I expect." "Then find out for me what Phil Sanderson did with the knife his sister lent him two days ago. Find out whether he lent it to anybody, and, if so, who." "What for?" It had come to a show-down, and the other tabled his cards. "I found that knife yesterday mo'ning.
For some time no one spoke. Sylvester Paine looked at the floor. He was a heavy-set man, with a huge head, bare-faced and rather a high forehead. He did not seem to be able to lift his eyes. "I suppose," continued Pearl, "the people who made the laws did not think it would ever come to a show-down like this.

"No," moaned Mr.
"There won't be so much indifference after you've met Her and seen a certain picture in the Corridor of Kings," he retorted, with a superior smile. "Think not?" said I, with another yawn. "What if I've done both years ago?" He eyed me sharply. "It's foolish to bluff when a show-down is certain," he said. "So one learns in the army." "Of course not every hand needs to bluff," he said slowly.
Cappy Ricks almost wept with rage when his daughter informed him that Matt had gone back to salt water. She was a little indignant over it, and demanded a show-down from her unhappy father, who looked at her miserably and said he'd think it over. He did.
