Then these four winners paired off and wrestled, and at the end Creon and Timon were left to try it together. In the first bout the Spartan boy lifted Creon off the ground and threw him, back down. Then the men on the benches began shouting advice. "Look out for his arms!" "Don't let him grapple you!" "Feint, feint!" Creon leaped to his feet.
When I wrestled with Alice, I found this in her hand. One second more, and she would have used it on Miss Foster. He took from his pocket a small surgical knife, and looked, shuddering, at its sharpness and its curved point. Eleanor too shuddered. She laid her hand on Lucy's shoulder, while Manisty withdrew into the shadows of the room. Lucy raised herself by a great effort.
Giletti then clutched the gun; the two men wrestled for it, and it exploded close to Giletti's ear. Staggered for an instant, he quickly recovered himself; drawing from its sheath a "property" sword, he fell once more upon Fabrice. "Look out! he will kill you," came an agitated whisper from Marietta; "take this!" A sort of hunting knife was flung out of the carriage door.
Jones disposed of Tom in the same manner as he had the lioness, chaining him to an adjoining small pine, where he leaped and wrestled. Presently I saw Emett coming through the woods leading and dragging the Indian. I felt sorry for the Navvy, for I felt that his fear was not so much physical as spiritual.
"When I saw them sun dogs to-day I figured we was in for a blizzard. Too bad you didn't outfit me for a longer trip." A gale was blowing from the north, carrying on its whistling breath a fine hard sleet that cut the eyeballs like powdered glass. The men fought their way to the sled and wrestled with the knots of the frozen ropes that bound the load.
If his life rather than his lands had depended on the recovery of the letter he could not have been more eager. For a long time he pleaded and wrestled with me; arguing, bullying, imploring, threatening, turn and turn about, but to no result. I would not go back on my casual word to Master Freake.
Keith's youth was hateful to him now; it withheld pitilessly, implacably, the life that it was in its hands to give. Meanwhile Keith wrestled with his suspicion and overcame it. "Look here, father, I'll do what I can. I'll come round to-morrow and look into things for you, if that's any good." The instant he had made the offer he was aware of its futility.
I kept on breathing like a hard-working bellows, as I wrestled about with him. He seized me by the right leg and tried to lift me up, carry me out. I pushed his head back by hooking my fingers under his nose, like a prong. Then I grabbed him by the seat of the britches and heaved. And they burst clean up the back like a bean pod....
He tried to entice so promising a recruit by offers of a place in the 'Third Trinity' crew and ultimate hopes of a 'University Blue. Fitzjames scorned the dazzling offer. I remember how Ritson, the landlord at Wastdale Head, who had wrestled with Christopher North, lamented in after years that Fitzjames had never entered the ring.
It was with this solemn purpose that Brandon went to the wreck, seeking by a last chance after life, yet now prepared to relinquish it. He had struggled for life all these weeks; he had fought and wrestled for life with unutterable spiritual agony, all day long, on the summit of that rock, and now the bitterness of death was past.
