"At least, there are marks of Andy's fist and Andy's foot on Jim Barrows." His eyes twinkled as he spoke and then grew grave again. "Fighting's a bad thing in general, but you are excusable, my lad, you are excusable."
We haven't had a bite since yesterday noon, and I'm about starved. Now that the fighting's all over, I begin to remember my healthy appetite!" Stern smiled. "You'll have some breakfast, girlie," promised he. "There'll be the wherewithal to garnish our 18-k, never fear. Just let's have a look up-stairs, and then I'll go after something for the larder."
This man tells me, on what authority I know not, that a herald will soon be sent by Duke Charles carrying defiance to the Swiss. What of value the duke expects to obtain from barren Switzerland outside of Basel, I do not know. Fighting for fighting's sake is poor sport." "Forbear your wise saws, Sir Karl, and tell me what the man said," demanded Yolanda.
Although the officers of all the Allies were immensely struck by the discipline and equipment of the Japanese, close observers were still more attracted by the underlying soldier spirit which animates them. An inherent spirit of soldiering seems to possess every little Jap as a natural heritage. They seem to love fighting for fighting's sake.
"Come away with me where she'll not find you." "An' where's that, Pierre darlin'?" "I'll tell you that when to-night's fighting's over. Have you a mind for Wonta?" he continued. "I've a mind for Wonta an' many another as fine, but I'm a married man," he said, "by priest an' by book; an' I can't forget that, though the woman's to me as the pit below." Pierre looked curiously at him.

And equally true and fine that there's just as much to fight for now as there ever was." "Oh yes," murmured Mrs. Prescott, "we must still have the army, of course." "The fighting's not in the army," said Katie, to herself rather than to her friend. The older woman sighed. "I'm afraid I don't understand you, Katie."
"Come away with me where she'll not find you." "An' where's that, Pierre darlin'?" "I'll tell you that when to-night's fighting's over. Have you a mind for Wonta?" he continued.

Pierre looked curiously at him.
The ideal of the yeomanry was similar to that of chivalry in the love of blows fairly given and cheerfully taken, in the love of fighting for fighting's sake.
Double your fists. Hold them out straight. I want to look at your knuckles. Dreadful! Nice state for a gentleman's hands. Fighting's bad. Do you hear, Singh? Very bad. But I must confess that I didn't get through school without a turn-up or two myself. Glyn took your part, then, and thrashed the fellow. Well, he won't bully either of you again.
