Then he relaxed his grip on one of Doughty's legs, at the same time forcing the other outwards with all the strength of his foot and leg. Doughty had to unstiffen a knee to prevent himself coming taut and prone on the ground, and a hard shove with Ishmael's elbow, thrown backwards against his shoulder, combined with the leg-play to send him spinning sideways.
But even as she thought it, the hand left her hair and closed about her wrist. "No cause for knife-play or leg-play either, my hawk," the gruff voice rebuked her. "To no one are we more anxious to show friendship than to Canute's ward; and you act like no true man if you cannot, when occasion requires, leave off your high-born ways and be a plain comrade among plain men."
Polkinghorne made a quick survey of the place, then placed his men so that the light fell sideways, not directly upon either face. "Shoes off, Doughty!" he ordered. "None of your nasty Devonshire ways here!" For the Devon rules admit kicking, and that with shoes, while Cornish, though allowing leg-play, insist it should be in stocking-feet, and consist of tripping and locking only.
Leg-play is the great feature, even in Cornwall, where prominence is given to the hug, and Ishmael had very strong legs, though his shoulders were not so heavy as Doughty's. He took his stand opposite Doughty. He had never wrestled with him before, but he had had much practice with boys of all builds.
