He was a splendid looking young man, well over six feet in height, but so finely proportioned that one did not realize his great stature till one compared him with others myself, for instance. I stand full six feet in my socks, but he towered above me. I encountered him first by cannoning right into him, as I turned from buying some cigarettes.
Chukkers, too, was taking his time, running no risks, his eyes everywhere, calculating his chances, fending off dangers as they loomed up on him one after the other. He was drawing in to the rails on his left flank for security from cannoning horses. The first few fences behind him, the danger of a knock-out would be greatly lessened. Till then it was most grave.
"But why did you ever put it on?" "Well, it was this way. After I came out of the cupboard in the drawing-room...." "What!" "Didn't I tell you about that? Oh yes, I was sitting in the cupboard in the drawing-room from dinner-time onwards. After that I came out and started cannoning about among Aunt Adeline's china, so I thought I'd better switch the light on.

A low wall fenced him on either hand, and as he braced himself, grasping his Brown Bess a fine picture of Duty triumphing over Irresolution into this narrow passage poured the chase, rolled as it were in a flying heap; the hunted man just perceptibly first, the bull and Archibald Plinlimmon cannoning against each other at the entrance.
Don't stop." The driver was a man of spirit and needed no further directions. The cab jerked forward and we sped towards St. Pancras Station. "Follow the tram lines up to Hampstead," I called out, and he nodded. We lay gasping in the back of the cab, cannoning helplessly as it swayed round corners. By the time we had reached Hampstead our fear had left us.
Jean saved himself from washing overboard by cannoning into me; but before the dripping bowsprit rose again to mount the swell, M. de Radisson was up, shaking off spray like a water-dog and muttering to himself: "To be snuffed out like a candle no no no, my fine fellows! Leap to meet it! Leap to meet it!" And he was at the wheel himself.
He saw the mists rise and grow wisp-like, and the disc of the sun gain color, and all the miracles of cannoning tempest and caressing calm and, though he had come back to fight, a wonderful peace settled over him, for he knew that, if he must choose these, his native hills, or all the rest, he would forego all the rest.
