There's sure to be a scrimmage pistol shots and swords clashing oh! it will be splendid; for there's nothing so fine as a good fight; when the men are in earnest, and fierce and brave. Now don't you be frightened and scream, as silly women do; nothing upsets them like that. You must just remain perfectly quiet, and keep out of their way.
We took the hint and put a sapling fence round it. Again Dad decided to go up country for a while. He caught Emelina after breakfast, rolled up a blanket, told us to watch the stack, and started. The crows followed. We were having dinner. Dave said, "Listen!" We listened, and it seemed as though all the crows and other feathered demons of the wide bush were engaged in a mighty scrimmage.
There war a scrimmage 'twixt the raiders an' the distillers, an' an outsider that hed nuthin' ter do with the Federal law he war the constable o' the deestrick, an' jes rid with the gang ter see the fun or ter show them the way he war killed. An' account o' him, the State law kem into the game.
"It seems too good after all those years at the boarding schools, and the scrimmage we had when the mortgage was foreclosed to feel secure at last," said Elinor gratefully. "Everything seems to be heaping up to make us happy." "Time's up!" cried Patricia, jumping up. "Be on hand at the next rest, angel child.
Again and again the quarters nip up the ball and pass, but the tackling is so hard and swift that the halves cannot get away, and by passing ground is almost always lost. "Keep it in!" is the word. Inch by inch towards the 'Varsity goal the McGill forwards fight their way. Suddenly the McGill scrimmage weakens and breaks up.
That is now a white man's courage!" exclaimed the scout; "and like to many of his notions, not to be maintained by reason. Do you think the Sagamore, or Uncas, or even I, who am a man without a cross, would deliberate about finding a cover in the scrimmage, when an open body would do no good? For what have the Frenchers reared up their Quebec, if fighting is always to be done in the clearings?"
We say apparently at full speed, because experience has taught that De Wet can run as fast as a greyhound when he likes; but he never exerts himself to go faster than is necessary to keep just in front of whatever dog is after him. Hearing the scrimmage, your neighbour comes on to his verandah, and sees the chase going down the street. "Ha! that wretched old De Wet again!" he says.
And that was as near to breaking through as Cupples came for the rest of the scrimmage. Four coaches thumped Clint on the back and excitedly praised him, and Clint felt suddenly that to defeat the wicked machinations of the ambitious Cupples was the biggest thing in life.
The rush of the sailors into the seething 'tween-deck was like a splash of cold water into a boiling cauldron. The commotion sank for a moment. The bulk of Chinamen were locked in such a compact scrimmage that, linking their arms and aided by an appalling dive of the ship, the seamen sent it forward in one great shove, like a solid block.
True, natives went down by scores, and it was not to be doubted but what they were killed or injured, but it seemed more like a big football scrimmage than a fight. "This is great!" cried Tom. "I like to watch it, but I'm sorry for the poor chaps that get hurt or killed. I hope they're only stunned as we stunned the wild horses." "I'm afraid it is more serious than that," spoke San Pedro.
