I am past my prime, young sir, and may well resign the palm of strength to you. It was a right noble stroke. It hath cost me a runlet or two of canary, and a good old helmet; but I grudge it not, for it was fairly done. I am thankful that my head was not darin. Saxon, here, used to show us some brave schwertspielerei, but he hath not the weight for such smashing blows as this.
As I rode along to-day thinkin' thinkin' thinkin' how can I save the children an' Cap'n Tom, how can I get a little money to send Cap'n Tom off to the Doctor an' also repeatin' to myself 'The Lord will provide He will provide I ran up to this, posted on a tree, an' kinder starin' me an' darin' me in the face." He laughed again: "Jes' scolded you, Jack, but see here.
You teched him up fust on thet p'int; then while he's still kindah riled with you fur it teks him a long time to fergit a man's darin' to sot up opinions 'ginst his'n up you prances ag'in 'bout Betsy. No, you didn't beg him sortah bashful an' meechin' lak I know you so well, Ab but you jes' demands his gal's hand in marridge. This riles him still futhah.

Sight of his bulk was enough to terrorize Carley. "Me! Aw, I'm a darin' hombre an' a devil with the wimmin," he said, with a guffaw. Carley could not collect her wits.
Cap'n Am'zon gits his pluck an' darin' from Cap'n Josh.

She watched from Rocky Head and she seen what she knowed to be the Bravo heave in sight.

'You might tell me who and what this Solo is, continued Jim. 'Smartest, coolest, most darin' gold-thief in Australia. Outlawed for robbery under arms, wanted by all the police 'tween here and the Murray, and his head's worth five hundred to you 'r me, 'r any yob that can rob him of it. He works alone. What his right name is no one knows. 'That's all a bright look-out for me! laughed Jim.
Robert about not rememberin' her better, darin' him to look her square in the eyes, and such little tricks. Say, she was some whirlwind performer, take it from me. I discovers that everybody was "Honey" to her, even Ferdie. And you should have seen him tint up and glance panicky at Marjorie the first time she put it over on him. As for Miss Hampton, she appears to be enjoyin' the whole thing.
Like every extremely selfish person she was a coward in her soul. "If you refuse to go on my orders," she said, "I'll have John Gilman issue his."
