Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss. And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
I recollect saying at the time, "Well done, front-rank man, thee doesn't fall at that stroke," and unfortunately for the Frenchman, a fellow-comrade, who was lefthanded, came up to me very soon afterwards, and asked me how I was getting on.
"Don't you know your right shoulder?" said the Sergeant, with a good deal of vinegar in his tone, to Si, who had his gun on the "larboard" side, as a sailor would say. "Beg yer pardon," said Si; "I always was lefthanded. I'll learn if yer only gimme a show!" "Silence!" again roared the Sergeant. "One more word, sir, and I will tie ye up, fer a fact!"
From the Hotel Regina you took one hundred and eighty-seven paces, then, turning sharp, left-handed, four hundred and twenty took you straight down to the fountain. From the Englischer Hof, starting on the sidewalk, it was ninety-seven paces and the same four hundred and twenty, but turning lefthanded this time. And now you understand that, having nothing in the world to do but nothing whatever!
"To thet I replies, more considerate: 'But it ain't fair. You'd better get the fust shot. "Then the fool hollers, 'Redhead! "Thet settled him. I leaps over QUICK, slugged him one lefthanded. He staggered, but he didn't fall.... Then he straightens an' goes fer his gun." Larry halted again. He looked as if he had been insulted, and a bitter irony sat upon his lips.
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
