Now, as for you and Natty Bell, it is with deep affection that I think of you an affection that shall abide with me always. Also, you are both in my thoughts continually. I remember our bouts with the 'muffles, and my wild gallops on unbroken horses with Natty Bell; surely he knows a horse better than any, and is a better rider than boxer, if that could well be.
The little robber girl opened the door, coaxed in all the big dogs, and then cut the rope with her sharp knife, and said to the Reindeer: "Now run, but take good care of the little girl." And Gerda stretched out her hands with the big muffles toward the little robber girl, and said, "Farewell."
Since that time, too, I have studied him at close range: on snowy days for I like my tramps in winter, with the Bronx a ribbon of white, even though it may be too cold to paint as well as my outings on Sunday summer mornings when I sit down with his other friends to watch Muffles shave. On one of these days I found a thin, cadaverous, long-legged, long-armed young man behind the bar.
N.B. Mr Broughton proposes, with proper assistance, to open an academy at his house in the Haymarket, for the instruction of those who are willing to be initiated in the mystery of boxing: where the whole theory and practice of that truly British art, with all the various stops, blows, cross-buttocks, &c., incident to combatants, will be fully taught and explained; and that persons of quality and distinction may not be deterred from entering into A course of those lectures, they will be given with the utmost tenderness and regard to the delicacy of the frame and constitution of the pupil, for which reason muffles are provided, that will effectually secure them from the inconveniency of black eyes, broken jaws, and bloody noses.
They are all down in the books, and I would prove it to you if I could lay my hand on the particular record. Everybody believes it Muffles most of all. Many of the old-time fittings and appurtenances are still to be seen. A knocker clings to the front door a wobbly old knocker, it is true, with one screw gone and part of the plate broken but still boasting its colonial descent.
His eyes looked as if he had not slept for a week. "What's the matter anybody sick?" "No dead!" and he burst into tears. "Not Muffles!" "No the Missus." "When?" "Last night. De boss is inside, all broke up." I tiptoed across the hall and into the bar-room. He was sitting by a table, his head in his hands, his back toward me. "Muffles, this is terrible! How did it happen?"
The painter is guided by these trial pieces in laying on his colours. To fire the paintings a furnace with a muffle is used. The muffles are made of refractory clay. This coating is preferable to any glue or cement for coating picture frames, &c., on which is to be laid the tin or silver leaf, to be varnished with gold varnishes or lackers.
The robber girl lifted little Gerda on its back, and had the forethought to tie her fast, and even to give her her own little cushion as a saddle. "There are your fur boots for you," she said, "for it's growing cold; but I shall keep the muff, for that's so very pretty. Still, you shall not be cold, for all that; here's my mother's big muffles they'll just reach up to your elbows.
The sergeant and the soldiers had seen very little of Heron and nothing of me; it did not take a great effort to deceive them, and the darkness of the night was my most faithful friend. His raucous voice was not difficult to imitate, and darkness always muffles and changes every tone.
Here is that smiling Mirth, that delicate Satire and genteel Raillery, which appeared in Mr. ADDISON when he was free among intimates; I say, when he was free from his remarkable bashfulness, which is a cloak that hides and muffles merit: and his abilities were covered only by modesty, which doubles the beauties which are seen, and gives credit and esteem to all that are concealed.
