Clinch and his companion both insensibly shivered. But only for a moment. Mr. Clinch raised the glass to his lips.
Night had fallen when the fight was entirely over, but Devin was pushed on in pursuit for about two miles, part of the Sixth Corps following to clinch a victory which not only led to the annihilation of one corps of Lee's retreating army, but obliged Longstreet to move up to Farmville, so as to take a road north of the Appomattox River toward Lynchburg instead of continuing toward Danville.
Another rest and another round went by, with no further damage to Joe and no diminution of strength on the part of Ponta. But in the beginning of the fifth round, Joe, caught in a corner, made as though to duck into a clinch.
It certainly was the same maiden, his cruel enchantress; but where did she get those absurd garments? "Willkommen," said a stout figure, advancing with some authority, and seizing his disengaged hand, "where hast thou been so long?" Mr. Clinch, by no means placated, coldly dropped the extended hand.

Little Flask was one of the wrought ones; made to clinch tight and last long. They called him King-Post on board of the Pequod; because, in form, he could be well likened to the short, square timber known by that name in Arctic whalers; and which by the means of many radiating side timbers inserted into it, serves to brace the ship against the icy concussions of those battering seas.
It cannot be said that this was a very wise proceeding upon the part of the lad; for it was likely that some one of the half dozen Apaches understood English well enough to comprehend what he said. To clinch the business, Fred yelled a few more words. "If you understand me, Mickey, whistle!"
