We've made some powerful enemies, but our idea is that as long as we keep perfectly straight and honest they will never be able to beat us. We shall win in the end, because so far it has never come to a show-down, when we appealed to the public itself, that the public had not risen and backed us strongly."
It was a bully club to have up your sleeve at the final show-down, for with it you can make Unkie-dunk behave himself and force that compromise you spoke of. Seriously, however, I don't want you to use it, Shirley. We must avoid a scandal by all means; and praise be, I don't need your club to beat your uncle's brains out. I'm taking HIS club away from him to use for that purpose."
They're determined to force a show-down and see how much real money is behind us. We can pull through if we stand together." The stolid face of the banker became a motionless mask as he asked: "Are we going to stand together?" Bivens sprang to his feet, exclaiming fiercely: "Until hell freezes over!" The banker smiled feebly for the first time in a week. "Then it's all right, Mr. Bivens.
Beverly Plank knew perfectly well that, in the comparison so delicately suggested by Mortimer, his material equipment could be scarcely compared to the immense fortune controlled by Howard Quarrier; and as he thought it, his reflections were put into words by Mortimer, airily enough: "Nobody stands a chance in a show-down with Quarrier. But " Plank gaped until the tension became unbearable.
For Harlan's action in sheathing his gun convinced Deveny that the man had divined his thoughts from the expression of his eyes before he had veiled them with the lids, and he was convinced that Harlan had sensed the chill of dread that had swept over him at that instant. He was sure of it when he heard Harlan's voice, low and taunting: "You waitin' for a show-down?" Deveny smiled, pallidly.
"Well, my dear," she said presently, "aren't you going to tell me all about it?" That was the woman of it. She knew. "I'm terribly unhappy," he replied. "Dad and I had a definite show-down after the funeral. His order not request is that I shall not call here again." "Your father is thinking with his head; so he thinks clearly. You, poor dear, are thinking with your heart controlling your head.
Vaniman possessed youth's confidence in his ability to make good in the world. He wondered if it would not be well to have a general show-down in the Harnden family, in order that when he went away from Egypt he might go with the consolation of knowing that Vona was waiting for him, her love sanctioned. Pondering, he arrived in front of Egypt's humble town hall.
"Inez?" they repeated blankly. Kennedy faced them squarely. "Come, now. Where is she? This is a show-down. You may as well lay your cards on the table. Where is she what have you done with her?" The de Moches looked at Lockwood and he looked at them, but neither spoke for a moment. "Walter," ordered Kennedy, "there's the telephone. Get the managing editor of the Star and tell him where we are.
Jack-o'-Lantern's sure enough disgusted with this show-down, and I believe that's the reason he has no more spirit than a bossy-cow." "I'm going to speak to Mrs. Vincent," announced Juno. "This may be all very conventional and correct, but all I can do is rise and fall in a trot; I'm petrified if Lady Belle breaks into a canter, and if she were to leap over that fence, I'd break my neck.
Then when the show-down came you would comport yourself according to the stuff that you were made of the material which was hidden away deep down under your skin and according to your conduct the world would judge you. So naturally enough in those days men asked this question and waited for events to bring its answer.
