For he felt his own strength waning, and he knew what the end would be, should he no longer be able to hold Randerson off. He went in now with a left jab, and instead of dancing back to avoid Randerson's counter, he covered with the left, swiftly drawn back from the jab, and hooked his right to Randerson's face. The blow landed heavily on Randerson's jaw, shaking him from head to foot.
Lilian had already perceived that she was approaching, and stood waiting for her evidently in awe! When within a few paces of the girl, the fat fury opened speech upon her and in a tone as vindictive as the sound of her voice was harsh and grating. "Wha for, gal, you call me Aunt Lucy? Wha for you say dat? Dam! you call me so 'gain, I jab you eyes out. Sure I live, I gouge you!"
"Tell her yourself, you young rascal," cried the General in fine good humour, poking his prospective stepson-in-law in the ribs. Eddie winced. "You can do that to me now, but if you jab me in the ribs after I'm married I'll jab you in the eye." "Good! I like your spirit. Gad, I love a fighting-man! And now, my boy, it seems to me there's no sense in delaying matters. You have my consent.
The logger rose to his feet. "H'lo, Benton," he greeted thickly. "How's every-thin'?" Benton's answer was a quick lurch of his body and a smashing jab of his clenched fist. The blow stretched the logger on his back, with blood streaming from both nostrils. But he was a hardy customer, for he bounced up like a rubber ball, only to be floored even more viciously before he was well set on his feet.
"I'm sorry I didn't jab him twice as hard; though I'd have wasted my energy," Edgar explained. "The fellow has no sense, but that's no reason why he should be allowed to frighten a pretty girl." His antagonist looked as if a light had suddenly dawned on him. "Is that why you did it?" "Of course! Do you think I'd attack a man of nearly twice my weight without some reason?" The fellow laughed.
"Yes?" said Hardy coldly. There was a subtle tone of fault-finding in his employer's voice which already augured ill for their debate on the sheep question, and his nerves responded instinctively to the jab. Fate had not been so kind to him that day, that he was prepared to take very much from any man, and so he remained quiet and let the judge go the whole length.
"Then," said the Professor, with a dexterous jab of his cue at the pool-balls "then, in your estimation, an author is a thing to be led about by the nose by the beings he selects for use in his books?" "You put it in a rather homely fashion," returned Harley; "but, on the whole, that is about the size of it."
He held it out to her, the six-foot wooden shaft with a slightly curving point of steel on the end. She turned on him with a salmon dangling by the gills from her fingers. "You don't think I'm afraid to get my hands dirty, do you?" she asked. "Me a fisherman's daughter. Besides, I'd probably miss the salmon and jab that pointed thing through the bottom of the boat."
I should think his conscience would wear a hole right through him, and if she brings that picture of his head home with her, I'll jab the carving-fork into it, sure's the world!"
With that, she stoops down, and catches up his staff, and says she, 'I have as great a mind to give you a jab with this here toothpick, where your mother used to spank you, as ever I had in all my life. But if you want it, my old 'coon, you must come and get it; for if you won't help me, I shall help myself.
