He and a companion of his had obtained leave from me to walk to Panley Abbey together. I afterwards found that their real object was to witness a prize-fight that took place illegally, of course on the common.

The bride was a dear lady, fit for better than to be driven to look on at a prize-fight a terrible scene to a lady. She was left solitary: and this her wedding day? The earl had said it, he had said she bore his name, spoke of coming from the altar, and the lady had blushed to hear herself called Miss.

The lightweight champion of Singapore and the East, a Jew, was pitted against a young soldier who had secured his discharge and had just taken to boxing as a profession.
His sheer skill and resourcefulness in life had always borne him safely through every difficulty from a prize-fight to a soprano's embrace. "A strange doctrine, Brother Smith!" said Jock's own pastor. The other two hummed and hawed, and brought the tips of their fingers together. "Nay!" said Jock, persuasively smiling. "'Stead o' bringing 'em to starvation, bring 'em to the House o' God!
