All the men of the railroad president's gang saw was the gigantic Koku coming along in great strides, bearing the unconscious O'Malley, who was a burly fellow, as though he were a featherweight. No wonder they fled from such a monster. Tom had reached the switch, and he was several seconds ahead of the freight locomotive.
Felix Rolleston had secured an excellent seat beside the pretty Miss Featherweight, whom he admired so much, and he was chattering to her with the utmost volubility. "Puts me in mind of the Coliseum and all that sort of thing, you know," he said, putting up his eye-glass and starting round. "Butchered to make a Roman holiday by jove."
"I don't see why a jockey or anybody else should be dishonest I'm sure it must take too much valuable time to cover up crooked ways." "Yes, you'd have made a great jock, Little Woman;" the father went on, musingly, as he watched the horses lining up for the start. "Men think if a boy is a featherweight, and tough as a Bowery loafer, he's sure to be a success in the saddle.
Is there anything in his pockets? let's lift him on to the bed. We lifted him on to the bed, a featherweight he was to lift. While the Inspector was examining his pockets to find them empty a tall man with a big black beard came bustling in. He proved to be Dr Glossop, the local police surgeon, who had been sent for before our quitting the Station House.
I daresay Eve only ate the apple because she didn't like to see such a lot of good fruit go to waste." Miss Featherweight eyed him doubtfully. She was not quite certain whether he was in jest or earnest. Just as she was about to reply to the effect that she thought it wicked to make the Bible a subject for joking, the Judge entered and the Court rose.
I had known her, after all, in India years before. Heymann of Lahore, a tall woman, but a featherweight partner, and in all my dancing days I never had a better waltz. To my delight she had one other left, though near the end, and we were actually dancing when an excitable person came out of the card-room, flushed with liquor and losses, and carried her off in the most preposterous manner.
He had hit upon a first page story. A half-hour later every newsboy in the downtown district was shouting himself hoarse, and the words he shouted were these: "All about Johnny Thompson. Johnny Thompson, featherweight champion. Alive! Arrested for conspiracy! Extry!" The theatre crowds were thronging the streets, and the newsies reaped a rich harvest.
They were too far from shore to trust a motor boat; and to use one of the big whaleboats under sail would take too long. The derrick swung the big boat overside, and she was lowered into the sea as lightly as though she were a featherweight. Meanwhile Ensign MacMasters was assigned to her command and he had the privilege of picking his crew to suit himself.
James, the champion featherweight fusser of the school, followed. He carried a campchair and a hot-water bottle. Petey Simmons, five feet four in his pajamas, and Jiggs Jarley, champion catch-as-catch-can-and-hold-on-tight waltzer in college, came next.
Taffy carried him a featherweight to the cottage where Lizzie stood by her table washing up. She saw them at the gate and came running out. "It's all right. He slipped out on the cliff. Nothing more than a scratch or two, and perhaps a sprained ankle." He watched while she set Joey in a chair and began to pull off his stockings. He had never seen the child's foot naked.
