This latter was spoken very grimly, and I could see the great fighter's face fall. "You will see to it, Grant," said the Q.M. "that Henderson doesn't hide his heroism from the O.C.; that he gives it to him in detail, just as he has to me." "Yes, sir," and I left with my prisoner. We hurried along as night was falling and the German flares were commencing to fly.
It was this that gave Psmith the idea of publishing Kid Brady's autobiography in Cosy Moments, an idea which made the Kid his devoted adherent from then on. Like most pugilists, the Kid had a passion for bursting into print, and his life had been saddened up to the present by the refusal of the press to publish his reminiscences. To appear in print is the fighter's accolade.
But no man is a hero to his valet or his relatives, and on the spring morning when Lassalle stood at the parting of the ways where the Thinker's path debouched on the Fighter's his brother-in-law from Prague, being in Berlin on business, took the opportunity of remonstrating. "I can't understand what you mean by such productions," he cried, excitedly waving a couple of pamphlets.
"How many days do they keep a guy on this job, Happy?" asked a boy with mild blue eyes and a creamy complexion, and reddish curly hair. "Damned if I know, kid; as long as they please, I guess," said the bull-necked man next him, who had a lined prize fighter's face, with a heavy protruding jaw.
The burthened earth abounds with various fruit, Which doth the Epicurean's Palate Suit. It is to be hoped these wicked Epicureans got no more than their share, and that church members were not converted to the heathen philosophy by such baits. October The Tyrant Mars old Saturn now opposes, Which stirs up Feuds and may make bloody Noses. October then was the fighter's month.
With the broad forehead, the prominent brows, the bold, aggressive nose, and the square bony jaw, it was a fighter's face, a fine face save for the evil promise of that sensuous mouth. So thought the doctor with the swift psychological process of his trade. From the face his gaze travelled to the body.
While the Law argued, learnedly, disputatiously, with the handing up and the handing down of inane decisions, Crime scored; and Who or What tallied? The men round the fire the night before in the cow-camp, the men of "the bunco game" had stacked cards and played trump; but unfortunately, they had jumbled the white-vested fighter's orders about the boy.
De Lenz relates that Chopin dedicated the C sharp minor Scherzo to his pupil Gutmann, because this giant, with a prize fighter's fist, could "knock a hole in the table" with a certain chord for the left hand sixth measure from the beginning and adds quite naively: "Nothing more was ever heard of this Gutmann he was a discovery of Chopin's."
My first impulse was to struggle against the outrage; but I was beginning to learn the service of open ears and a closed mouth was often more valuable than a fighter's blows. Already I had ascertained from their own lips that the Hudson's Bay intended to molest our north-bound brigade.
When he was a boy in short trousers he had learned from Uncle Jasper the two main articles of a gun fighter's creed that a revolver must be fired by pointing, not sighting, and that there must be nothing about it liable to hang in the holster to delay the draw.
