"Is there another white-livered town in the whole realm where the operatives are all working half-time, and thanking the Capitalists for keeping the mills going, and only starving them by inches?" said Devilsdust in a tone of scorn. "That's your time of day," said Mick. "Very glad to see you, gentlemen," said Mr Trotman, "pray be seated.
"Th' cap'n," he began, "has talked to ye as though ye was white men 'cause he's young and clean an' doesn't know the likes of ye. He hain't had so much to do with a bunch of white-livered, swill-tub jail birds as I have. But don't you go further an' make th' mistake thet 'cause he's young he ain't a man yet. 'Cause if ye do, ye'll wake up sudden with a jolt.
"Now," said Shorty, addressing Groundhog, "you white-livered son-in-law of a jackass, git back to that wagon as fast as you kin, if you don't want me to run this bayonet through you." There was more straining and prying in the dreary rain and fathomless mud to get the wagons started.
In a moment they were gone, leaving Hawe and his several comrades behind. Hawe was spitefully ejecting a wad of tobacco from his mouth and swearing in an undertone about "white-livered Greasers." He cocked his red eye speculatively at Stewart. "Wal, I reckon as you're so hell-bent on doin' it up brown thet you'll try to fire me off'n the range, too?"
He was a husky Chinese, but not husky enough. Makes you turn a bit yellow; eh, Craig, you white-livered cheat? You almost got my money-belt, but almost is never quite. The letter of credit is being reissued. It might have been robbery; it might have been just deviltry; just for the sport of breaking a man. Anyhow, you didn't succeed.
You are my guest aboard here, and damned welcome to you. At the same time, if I ware telling anybody as to what kind of a fellow you was, I should say, yessir, after thinking the matter over carefully, and taking all points into consideration, I might say that I thought ye an all-around white-livered, cowardly cuss, an' that's a fact." The English mate turned red.
"I certainly did not expect to see him take it so tamely. I expected that he would have fought and struggled to the last, like the rover's crew the song talks about. Instead of that, he struck his colours in a wonderfully short space of time." "Oh, those bullies are always white-livered rogues," observed Buttar, "so are nearly all the tyrants one reads about in history.
There was a convulsive struggle, a hard flinging of arms, a straining wrestle, and then Willetts was in a dreadful position. Shefford held him in iron grasp. "You damned, white-livered hypocrite I'm liable to kill you!" cried Shefford. "I watched you and Glen Naspa that day up on the mountain. I saw you embrace her. I saw that she loved you. Tell THAT, you liar! That'll be enough."
John, may I change the theme for one instant? What a god-like person is that de Hamal! What a nose on his face perfect! Model one in putty or clay, you could not make a better or straighter, or neater; and then, such classic lips and chin and his bearing sublime." "De Hamal is an unutterable puppy, besides being a very white-livered hero." "You, Dr.
There's yer sheep-stealers, sheriff, them ornery, white-livered, blood-suckin' " "I don't know anything about that, Martin," snapped the sheriff. "All I know is, you got to come along with me, peaceable or otherwise, and I guess if you're half as smart as I think you are, you won't come otherwise. Here! Don't go back in that house, Hawk."
