Why do you force me to repeat it?" "It is that damned rooibaatje," he broke out. "You used not to be like this before. Curse him, the white-livered Englishman! I will be even with him yet; and I tell you what it is, Bessie: you shall marry me, whether you like or no. Look here, do you think I am the sort of man to play with? You go to Wakkerstroom and ask what sort of a man Frank Muller is. See!
Terror real terror, of the white-livered, surrender-or-stampede-blindly-at-any-price kind could never, it seems to me, come into those fine, regal eyes; but the nearest approach that was possible occurred in that instant, and they swam. Ah, how those infant lions swam!
You are lower than the snakes that crawl or the scavengers that fly; You're the living, walking image of a damn black-hearted lie! We'll still be here in Everett when your career is ended, And back among the dregs of life your dirty hide has blended; When you shun the path of honest wrath and fear the days to come, And bow your head to the flag of red, you poor white-livered bum!

You've disgraced him broken his heart embittered the end of his life.... An' he'd mean for you what I mean now!" "He'd never harm me!" gasped Buster Jack, shuddering.

"I'll kill you!" burst out Belllounds, ending in a shriek.
"See here, Sim, you'd best shet that trap-door of yours, it's letting out too much blue smoke, and the dominee don't permit swearing among the boys. Cal'late I can give you some assistance if you're needing it," said the seaman, coming uncomfortably near. "As for that there slugger of yourn, he's nothing but a white-livered cur of a coward."
If I had been a stranger, I should have said: That young woman is not easy in her mind. Perfectly useless to speak to her about it. Quite happy and quite well there was her own account of herself. I tried her maid next, a white-livered sulky creature, one of the steadiest liars I have ever met with.
"Look here, you fellows!" I cried, very red in the face, they tell me. "You answer me a few questions. Are we or are we not partners? Are we or are we not friends? Do you or do you not consider me a low-lived, white-livered, mangy, good-for-nothing yellow pup? Why, confound your pusillanimous souls, what do you mean by talking to me in that fashion?
"Not me!" said Aspinwall positively. "I know when I've got enough!" "What's the matter?" asked Orde. "It isn't safe," replied the captain; "and I don't intend to risk my men or my driver." Orde stood for a moment stock-still; then with a snort of anger he leaped to the deck, seized the man by the neck and thrust him bodily over the side to the bank.
