It was questionable whether a good hearty assault and battery, or a respectable knock-down blow, had been dealt by any man in London for one or two generations.
To the other consul it was a real knock-down blow, and he is, I assure you, a ruined man. Memmius, however, having thus dissolved the coalition, has lost all chance of election, and is by this time in a worse position than ever, because we are now informed that his revelation is strongly disapproved of by Cæsar.
Neither, however, was a knockout blow. Dave took plenty of time, within his rights, about leaping to his feet, and in each instance got away from Treadwell's leaping assault. Just after the second knock-down, time was called for the end of the round. Farley, too, was full of loyalty for his friend and fellow-classman, but he did not allow this to blind his judgment.
It filled its case, and did not rattle like a withered kernel, or sound soft like a rotten one. It was a vigorous, muscular brain. The owner felt that he could trust it for an effort, as he could his lungs for a shout, his legs for a leap, or his fist for a knock-down argument. At the tap of the bell, the "bad lot" of men came together.
'As he drove slowly down the road he mused deeply. It was a knock-down blow, surely. He was a just man, so far as he knew, and as he studied the situation over he could not blame the girl. In the light of her convincing wrath he comprehended that the sharp things she had said to him in the past were not make-believe-not love taps, but real blows.

They were equally matched in physique; but Arthur was right, there was no fight in Mershone; that is, of the knock-down order. He would fight in his own way, doubtless, and this made him more dangerous than his antagonist supposed.
Mick did not `come up smiling' as he advanced to meet his foe after the knock-down blow he had received; but, from the look on his face, with his lips tight set and his eyes fixed on the mulatto, I could see he `meant business. He did.
The lady and gentleman thought they 'd walk for a bit of exercise the remains of the journey. 'Can't prove the rascal's a liar, Cumnock said to Morsfield, who rallied him savagely on his lucky escape from another knock-down blow, and tossed silver on the seat, and said 'We 'll see if there is a stile. 'You'll see the stile, sir, rejoined the man, and winked at their backs.
"Now, how the " he began, turning as he supposed to address a Westminster boy, and found himself staring into the face of a lady. He had no time to take stock of her. And although her fingers pinched his arm, her eyes were all for the fight. It had been almost a knock-down; but young Wesley just saved himself by touching the turf with his fingertips and, resting so, crouched for a spring.
It was wonderful enough to find Harry hand in glove with the Russells, but to find Dolores there along with Katie was a knock-down blow. It made his situation so confused and full of complications that he could not think of any course of action. So he stood, and he stared, and the party came along on their way to the train.
