"Kirk," said Pendleton, earnestly, "until this matter is settled, don't hesitate to command me. I know that I'm not generally credited with much serious purpose; but even the lightweight feels things sometimes." Within half an hour, Ashton-Kirk, in a perfectly fitting, carefully pressed suit of gray, tan shoes and a light colored knock-about cap, led the way down to the car.
In pugilism, a diversion that has always been noteworthy for its popular appeal, Peter Jackson was well known as a contemporary of John L. Sullivan. George Dixon was, with the exception of one year, either bantamweight or featherweight champion for the whole of the period from 1890 to 1900; and Joe Gans was lightweight champion from 1902 to 1908.
He knew that Henry was calling him callow, a lightweight, charges well-nigh proved by his present undertaking, and to save himself from rout he had to remember that Henry was a heavy Grave man and that his own participation was only a question of common courtesy to a lady, anyway.
He simply can't stand me, I'm such a mental lightweight. His eyes keep saying, 'So young and lovely, and nobody home, when he looks at me. You go, Kate. Take him up a loaf of bread; that he had brought from town tastes sour." "Marion, I don't believe a word you're saying! I can tell by your eyes when you're trying to throw me off the track.
Just like some stubborn Yankee to try and cut away a nice little catch like this." "Yes, sir." Drew merely sketched a salute; discipline was always free and easy in the Scouts. The day was warm. He was glad he had managed to find a lightweight shirt back at the warehouse in town.

Now that we're talking, I'll say that I've taken Ruth round and found her entertaining. What about it? And I've given her my opinion of the way you've run this work, because she asked for it.

"That electronic gismo, as you call it, is the real idea behind the whole operation." "How is that, Professor?" asked Devers. "Well, it works on this principle," began Hemmingwell.
It became Sharon's pretense that he was not hugging the boy, merely feeling the muscles in his shoulders and back to see if he were as good a lightweight as ever.
