"Why, I saw this young ruffian pommeling him. And look! Martha is bound in her chair. He's a burglar!"

A dozen times, I suppose, I have seen a friend of the entombed stoop adroitly and shove a cigarette or a piece of chocolate under the door, to the girls or the men or the girl or man screaming, shouting, and pommeling faintly behind that very door but, you would say by the sound, a good part of a mile away.... Ah well, more of this later, when we come to les femmes on their own account.
With a cry of triumph, Bud Hayes, without giving Herb a chance to get to his feet again, threw himself down on top of him and started pommeling him for all he was worth.
