Do you not think that a prize-fight could be thus provided for? I will see these men, if you say so, and learn their methods.
Fleetwood had given him the dispossessing shrug of the man out of the run, and the hint of the tip for winning, with the aid of operatic arias; and though he was in Fleetwood's books ever since the prize-fight, neither Fleetwood nor the husband nor any skittishness of a timorous wife could stop the pursuer bent to capture the fairest and most inflaming woman of her day.
By taking away what the phrenologists call combativeness, we could doubtless stop prize-fight, but we might have a springless society. The only safe way is that taught by horticulture, to feed a fruit-tree generously, so that it has vigor enough to throw off its degenerate tendencies and its enemies, or, as the doctors say in medical practice, bring up the general system.
He sat there like a king, smiling 'orribly, and Sam's voice as he paid 'is losings sounded to 'im like music, in spite o' the words the old man see fit to use. It was so 'ard to get Peter Russet's money that it a'most looked as though there was going to be another prize-fight, but 'e paid up at last and went off, arter fust telling Ginger part of wot he thought of 'im.
To refresh a saving incredulity, he took a closer view of the messenger. Gower's habiliments were those of the 'queer fish, the admiral saw. But the meeting at Carlsruhe was recalled to him, and there was a worthy effort to remember it. 'Prize-fight! Greengrocer! Whitechapel! he rang the changes rather more moderately; till, swelling and purpling, he cried: 'Where's the husband?
Every one accustomed to such controversies several times a day was quietly enjoying this prize-fight of somewhat abusive wit every one but Robert, to whom the perfect good faith of the whole quarrel seemed unquestionable, and who, after having waited till his conscience would suffer him to wait no more, and till he expected every moment that the disputants would fall to blows, cut suddenly in with tones of almost tearful entreaty: "EH, BUT, GENTLEMEN, I WAD HAE NAE MAIR WORDS ABOUT IT!" One thing was noticeable about Robert's religion: it was neither dogmatic nor sectarian.
"I don't know where they are," he replied; but it was evident that he was not telling the exact truth. "Oh, come, my boy," said the Queen, kindly, "you do know. Sir Walter told me you knew everything. Where are they?" "Well, if you must know, ma'am," returned Richard, captivated by the Queen's manner, "they've all gone down the river to see a prize-fight between Goliath and Samson."
The money forthcoming and the high priest, in expectation of a tip, coming out to lend his assistance there ensued such a Kilkenny fight between the priests and the dense mob of "worshippers," such knocking, kicking, scrouging, as never any man got for the same amount of money in any prize-fight, until finally I got a swift glimpse of the idol's hideous head. It was Sunday morning.
In the prize-fight of life, my dear Austin, our uncle Hippias has been unfairly hit below the belt. Let's guard ourselves there, and go and order dinner." "But where's Ricky now, and what is he doing?" said Austin. "Ask what he has done. The miraculous boy has gone and got a baby!" "A child? Richard has one?" Austin's clear eyes shone with pleasure.
This dignity and these knightly graces suggest the tournament, not the prize-fight. The laws are as curious as they are strict. For instance, the duelist may step forward from the line he is placed upon, if he chooses, but never back of it.
