For it was instinctively felt that here were conclusions to be tried with a nation of deep, solid thinkers, who were aware that a great crisis in the world's history had occurred, and would put forth their most substantial men to deal with it: Burghley and Walsingham, the great Queen herself, were no feather-weights like the frivolous Henry III., and his minions.

Mr Spence came and sat down beside him. "Well, Sheen," he said, "so you won your first fight. Keep it up." "I'll try, sir," said Sheen. "What do you think of Peteiro?" "I was just wondering, sir. He hits very hard." "Very hard indeed." "But he doesn't look as if he was very clever." "Not a bit. Just a plain slogger. That's all. That's why Drummond beat him last year in the Feather-Weights.

It is rather a desire to accelerate the flight of Time, and get to business quickly. All things come to him who waits, and among them is that unpleasant sensation of a cold hand upon the portion of the body which lies behind the third waistcoat button. The boxing had begun with a bout between two feather-weights, both obviously suffering from stage-fright.
"Giants like you have no right to remain single in these degenerate days." "Faith!" scoffed Hone. "It's an age of feather-weights, and I'm out of date entirely." He thumped down his dumb-bells, and stood up with arms outstretched. He saw the open admiration in his friend's eyes, and laughed at it. But Duncombe remained serious. "Why don't you get married, Pat?" he said.
The room was full of all sorts and sizes of them, heavy-weights looking ponderous and muscular, feather-weights diminutive but wiry, light-weights, middle-weights, fencers, and gymnasts in scores, some wearing the unmistakable air of the veteran, for whom Aldershot has no mysteries, others nervous, and wishing themselves back again at school. Tony Graham had chosen a corner near the door.
He had heard a great deal about the dusky Riptonian when Drummond had beaten him in the Feather-Weights the year before. Drummond had returned from Aldershot on that occasion cheerful, but in an extremely battered condition. His appearance as he limped about the field on Sports Day had been heroic, and, in addition, a fine advertisement for the punishing powers of the Ripton champion.
He had only received one really hard blow, and that had done no damage. After this came a long series of fights. The heavy-weights shed their blood in gallons for name and fame. The feather-weights gave excellent exhibitions of science, and the light-weight pairs were fought off until there remained only the final to be decided, Robinson, of St Paul's, against a Charterhouse boxer.
