He misses the leg-hold every time, and that is surely foolish, for he could cripple them there in an instant. My teeth and claws! but what a neck he must have!
The shock of the jolt broke the continuity of Leclaire's mental process. "How much to the pan?" he demanded. "Pan nothin'!" Mucluc Charley was angry. "Idea got it got leg-hold ran it down."

In most cases, if you succeed, you will find yourself between your opponent and his goal, where all you have to do is to touch the board for a score.

Incidentally, the wise player ceases struggling when he recognizes that he is caught beyond freeing.
