"Are you agreeable to Princeman's plan to pool all stock but Turner's?" "Well we can talk about that later." "Huh!" grunted Mr. Stevens, and together the two heavy-weights, Stevens with his aggressive beard suddenly pointed a trifle more straight out, and Mr. Westlake with his placidity even more marked than usual, stalked on into the parlor, where Mr.
"And if I can't be anything else I'll be a bantam, that's what I'll be." "Oh, you'll grow, sir, no doubt. We may see you among the heavy-weights yet." "What's Mr. Leith? Is he a heavy-weight?" vociferated Jimmy. "Just look at his arms." "You'll see him use them in a minute," observed Jenkins, covering Dion with a glance of almost grim approval, "and then you can judge for yourself."
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 gone to College and spent a large amount of Money irrigating and fertilizing his Mind, and he had Dreamed of writing Something that would be Strong enough for Charles Dudley Warner's Library of the World's Warmest Copy, in a Limited Edition of 20,000; but instead of landing with the Heavy-Weights he seemed Destined to achieve Greatness as the Author of a Boy's Size Poem, bearing about the same Relation to the Literature of the Ages that a May Howard Window Hanger does to Pure Art.
I saw no blood spilt, the other night, and no bruises expressed, by either the 'light-weights' or the 'heavy-weights. I dare say, too, that the fighters enjoy their profession, on the whole. But I contend that it is a very lamentable profession, in that it depends on the calculated prostitution of good natural energies.
Linton fought pluckily in the Light-Weights, but went down before Stanning, after beating a representative of Templar's. Mill did not show up well in the Heavy-Weights, and was defeated in his first bout. Seymour's were reduced to telling themselves how different it all would have been if Drummond had been there. Sheen watched the Light-Weight contests, and nearly danced with irritation.
So was the terrible dwarf Scroggins, all chest and shoulders, whose springing hits for many a year carried all before them until the canny Welshman, Ned Turner, stopped his career, only to be stopped in turn by the brilliant Irishman, Jack Randall. Shaw, who stood high among the heavy-weights, was cut to pieces by the French Cuirassiers in the first charge at Waterloo.
There was no exact limit between the light, middle, and heavyweights, and yet it would make a very great difference to the standing of a boxer whether he should be regarded as the heaviest of the light-weights, or the lightest of the heavy-weights.
Come now, surely you know the Ring, my dear. His rooms in St. James's Street are full of them every night. All sorts, you know featherweights, and heavy-weights, and greyhounds. And the faces! My goodness, you should see them. Such worn-out old images. Knowledge boxes all awry, mouths crooked, and noses that have had the upper-cut. But good men all; good to take their gruel, you know.
Gimble, Valentine; he always runs up two stairs at a time." "And this is one of the heavy-weights. Not an ounce less than sixteen stone, I should say, by the step," remarked Zack, letting his muffin burn while he listened. "It can't be that tiresome old Lady Brambledown come to worry you again about altering her picture," said Mrs. Blyth. "Stop! surely it isn't " began Valentine.
