When his task was completed the two baskets contained: One "heavy-weight winter suit of clothes." One "light-weight summer suit of clothes." One cap. One straw hat. Two pairs of white flannel trousers. Two Madras shirts. Two flannel shirts. Two silk shirts. Seven soft collars. Three silk neckties. One crocheted tie. Eight pairs of socks. One pair of patent-leather shoes. One pair of tennis-shoes.
In those same circles he would have been described as a fellow with a fighting face and a heavy-weight above the hips and a light-weight below a handsome fellow, except that his eyes were a little too small and his lips a trifle too thin.
"It would not be fair to you if I did not tell you that I am a boxer and a heavy-weight, and that I threw you into the water because I didn't want to damage your face and eyes. You were impertinent, but I am satisfied, and the best thing you can do is to go and change your clothes before any one sees you in that plight.
His docility, his affectionate nature, and his uniform courtesy bound them to him, even apart from their pride in him and the influence of Dick Vaughan as champion heavy-weight boxer and crack horseman of the force. They were none of them really big dogs, and that fact alone, apart from Dick's teaching, made Jan specially indulgent in his attitude toward them.
"That fat man will never get up the slope unless some one pushes him," remarked Ned, pointing to a very fleshy individual who was struggling up the steep gangplank, carrying a heavy valise. For the tide was almost at flood and the deck of the steamer was much elevated. Indeed it seemed at one moment as if the heavy-weight passenger would slide backward instead of getting aboard.
"Hockley doesn't matter," young Henry declared triumphantly, "although I'd bet a hat he's one of those heavy-weight Wall Street fellows and one of J.P.M's vice-presidents, probably. J.P.M., of course, is the man behind." "Who the devil is J.P.M.?" Henry smiled tolerantly upon his ignorant and guileless parent. "Well, how would J. Pierpont Morgan do for a guess?" he queried.
"With an occasional shorthorn chucked in to tip the scale," added old Sir Evelyn's fair grandson. When Brazil Silver died, the year his son was the heavy-weight in the Oxford boat, he left a will which was in accordance with his life. Every penny he had and he had a good many, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer remarked in the House of Commons was tied up in the Bank, and to remain there.
Imagine, if you please, a professional heavy-weight prize-fighter, with an abnormally long reach, holding an amateur bantam-weight boxer at arm's length with one hand and hitting him when and where he pleased with the other.
The cushions had been done over I resented that but though a different material, they were a still darker plum. And instead of Quo Vadis, the Bishop had been reading Resurrection. I took it up and glanced over it as I sat there; but, you know, Mag, the heavy-weight plays never appealed to me. I don't go in for the tragic perhaps I saw too much of the real thing when I was little.
"And if I can't be anything else I'll be a bantam, that's what I'll be." "Oh, you'll grow, sir, no doubt. We may see you among the heavy-weights yet." "What's Mr. Leith? Is he a heavy-weight?" vociferated Jimmy. "Just look at his arms." "You'll see him use them in a minute," observed Jenkins, covering Dion with a glance of almost grim approval, "and then you can judge for yourself."
