He was struck squarely by the porter, and the two went down in a heap in the aisle, with Mr. Post on top of them.
Tom whirled and smashed a stiff handblow to Packy's wrist, knocking the gun from his hand. Bud hurled himself on Mugs. Taken off guard, the shorter thug staggered and went down under a hail of punches. Bud grabbed his wrist and twisted it mercilessly while he pinned him to the ground. Mugs screeched with pain. "C-c-cut it out!" "Then drop your gun!" Bud snapped.

He opened the trap, grabbed the Marionette by the collar, and carried him to the house as if he were a puppy.
"Give it to me! I'll hide it!" He grabbed the pole with his hand; the flag rocked backward. "Let go!" thundered Pavel. Nikolay drew his hand back as if it had been burned. The song died away. Some persons crowded solidly around Pavel; but he cut through to the front. A sudden silence fell. Around the banner some twenty men were grouped, not more, but they stood firmly.
