"Not to you, you white-livered s of a b ," was the instant reply, accompanied by a shot. The officer staggered back mortally wounded, but recovered himself, and the next instant the cowboy reeled from his saddle, a load of buckshot through his breast.
"Oh, I know the white-livered Greasers better than any of you, don't mistake me," replied Belding. He was pale with rage, but kept command over himself. The rangers, with Yaqui and Thorne, stationed themselves at the several windows of the sitting-room. Rifles and smaller arms and boxes of shells littered the tables and window seats.
"Dost bandy words with me?" said the chief, with amazement, turning fast to wrath. "Art weary o' thy life? Let go the youth's hand, and into the saddle without more idle words." Denys made no reply; but he held Gerard's hand the tighter, and looked defiance. At this the bastard roared, "Jarnac, dismount six of thy archers, and shoot me this white-livered cur dead where he stands for an example."
"That's their way. Otherwise three cowboys couldn't bluff a whole gang like that. Gene knows the nature of Greasers. They're white-livered. But I reckon we're in more danger now than before, unless we get a good start down the mountain. There! Gene's callin'. Come! Hurry!" Helen had slipped down from her vantage-point, and therefore had not seen the last act in that little camp-fire drama.
"I told Fred that he was a big blackguard to use the girl so, and then he called me a 'white-livered liar." "I heard him," remarked Christopher quietly. "Well, I don't care what he says he is a blackguard. I'm glad you knocked him down, too; it was no more than he deserved." "I didn't do it on Molly Peterkin's account, you know.
"Out of the way, you white-livered little rat!" cried Pilzer, "or I'll prick the tummy of mamma's darling!" What happened then was so sudden and unexpected in Hugo that all were vague about details. They saw him in a catapultic lunge, mesmeric in its swiftness, and they saw Pilzer go down, his leg twisted under him and his head banging the floor.
"Yes, Bismarck knows our weak-kneed, white-livered bourgeois too well to be taken in by it. The League talks and Bismarck is silent. Oh, if I had a majority in the Chamber, as they have, I'd leave him to do the talking." "But even if their rant was serious, they would allow you no leadership in their revolution. Have they not already rejected your overtures?
Where is the man so poor of soul, so white-livered, so base, that he would do less in relation to any important doctrine in which he religiously believed? Where is the man who would have his tenets drubbed into him by the clubs of ruffians, or hold his conscience at the dictation of a mob?"
As the rest all sprang up he added: "Pull out that brandy kaig this time, Hank. Trot her out, you white-livered Dutchman," he roared, as Swartz hesitated. The brewer fetched it up from beneath the bar, but he did it reluctantly.
"Daylight will catch us and nothing done, if we listen to that white-livered spy. We don't believe in that wagon he talks about, and as for this kid, he brought her along just to save his bacon." "No, as God lives!" cried Gledware. "Can't you see she is dead for sleep? She was terrified out of her wits all day, and I've ridden with her all night.
