dead set

If he's dead-set on the wrong side, why, she's jist as dead-set on the right side, and that makes a mortal difference.

In four they are held back when dead-set on a very wrong course.

I wonder you don't realize that there are more ways of making up to a man than the dead-set method.

All a part of the game, dear old pal, the dead-set at the noble and rich.
