It was impossible for a right-handed man, difficult even for a left-handed one, but not impossible. That was the first point I made a mental note of." "Why did you not speak of the possibility?" "Chiefly, I think, because I was convinced that Sir Robert expected me to do so, was waiting for me to do so, in fact.
Ay, he would wait for the shark; but if he had heard him coming!... His smile was tragic. He could have spat upon himself. About three in the morning, chance, and the set of the current, and the bias of his own right-handed body, so decided it between them that he came to shore upon the beach in front of Attwater's.
This left the right arm free from all encumbrance, a matter of some importance, for to be right-handed was a quality of the cave man as of the man today. We should have a grudge against them for this carelessness, and should, may be, form an ambidextrous league, improving upon the past and teaching and forcing young children to use each hand alike.
Or if, as is the case in civilized countries, nurses largely replace the mothers, it would be necessary that most of the nurses be left-handed in order to make most of the children right-handed. Now, none of these deductions are true. Further, the child, as a matter of fact, holds on with both hands, however it is itself held.
Such opposition as was encountered was met with at the strong points well behind the front line, where the enemy had had the time and opportunity to man his defences. For example, both at El Tireh and at Kalkilieh, stubborn resistance was encountered. Thus the line swung right-handed into the hills, crumpling up the whole enemy line west of Rafat.
"You have known the prisoner several years, I believe?" "Yes; I have known him all his life. He is my eldest brother's son." "Then you can tell us, no doubt, whether he is left-handed or right-handed?" "I should say he was ambidextrous, but he uses his left hand by preference." "A fine distinction, Mr. Hornby; a very fine distinction.
It was made with a single-edged knife, drawn from left to right; the assailant stood on a hassock placed on a box at the head of the bed and leaned over to strike the blow. The murderer is probably quite a short person, very muscular, and right-handed. There was no sign of a struggle, and, judging by the nature of the injuries, I should say that death was almost instantaneous.
The planter leans enthusiastically over her work, usually resting one elbow on her knee the left elbow, since most of the women are right-handed and she sets from forty to sixty plants per minute. When the sementeras are planted they present a clean and beautiful appearance even the tips of the rice blades twisted off are invariably crowded into the muddy bed to assist in fattening the crop.
The first five players on the list for the Grays were left-handed batters, and against a right-handed pitcher whose most effective ball for them was a high fast one over the outer corner they would naturally hit toward left field. It was no surprise to see Hanley bat a skyscraper out to left. Red had to run to get under it. He braced himself rather unusually for a fielder.
A right-handed jolt caught one of them flush on the jaw and he toppled over backwards without so much as a groan. The other brought a fist heavily to Uncle John's nose, bringing blood, but before he could repeat the blow, Uncle John had placed him hors de combat with a terrific left-handed punch to the abdomen.
