bold as brass

And making his way over with him, bold as brass, was Cook.

“As long as I remember,” he says, looking directly at the camera, bold as brass, “I wanted to be someone else. Someone who was acceptable.”

But just weeks later, a report came of “seven vassals of the Great Turk, all men of the sea, the spies of the princes,” walking as bold as brass around the plaza of the town of Purificación.

He says she has “una faccia di bronzo” – a phrase similar to “bold as brass” in English.
