His nose had bled copiously, and one eye was "closed," as if he had been under the manipulation of some pugilist. The wife brought a basin of water, and offered a bandage, while Harvey proffered his assistance. But the Indian, without speaking, motioned them aside, and made his way out the door.
The gladiator stood quite still, and merely bent his neck a little to avoid the heavy vessel, which almost grazed his temples, and then shook himself like a water spaniel, as the contents flashed full into his face and eyes. "Do not do that again," he grunted, "unless you want to have your throat squeezed." "By Pollux the pugilist! he threatens!" exclaimed Catiline, laughing at his dogged anger.
There is very little that is remarkable about his appearance except the round, rather large head that shows writer or pugilist indifferently, brilliant eyes, black as black warm marble under heavy tortoise-shell glasses and a mouth that is not weak in the least but somehow burdened by a pressure upon it like a pressure of wings, the pressure of that kind of dream which will not release the flesh it inhabits always and agonizes often until it is given perfect body and so does not release it until such flesh has ceased.
The young pugilist stood up with surprise and a certain horror rising in his eyes. "You don't mean, Daddy " "I mean nothing but what is honest, my lad. You can lay to that!" "You said I could earn a bit." "So, perhaps, you can. Enough, anyhow, to tide you over your bad time. There's something in the wind there.
Watching him with intense interest, Leigh entirely forgot the speaker. He had not imagined the President's build so powerful.

As Cribb, a noted pugilist of the last century, she floored an incautious spectator, giving him a black eye which he wore for a fortnight afterwards. Singularly enough, my visitors were of the opposite cast. Hypatia, Petrarch, Mary Magdalen, Abelard, and, oftenest of all, Shelley, proclaimed mystic truths from my lips.
The Kid lingered on the corner for a moment, and then set out briskly toward a pair of green lights that flanked the steps of a building down a dark side street. "Captain around anywhere?" he asked of the desk sergeant of the police station. At that moment the captain came briskly forward from the rear. He was in plain clothes and had a busy air. "Hello, Kid," he said to the pugilist.
It was at five in the afternoon and the place was crowded with merchants, actors, managers, politicians, a goodly company of rotund, rosy figures, silk-hatted, starchy-bosomed, beringed and bescarfpinned to the queen's taste. John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, was at one end of the glittering bar, surrounded by a company of loudly dressed sports, who were holding a most animated conversation.
I have not one daisy to put on the grave of a dead pugilist or mere boat-racer, but all the garlands I can twist for the tomb of the man who serves God, though he be as physically weak as Richard Baxter, whose ailments were almost as many as his books, and they numbered forty.
Thus did Jack Easy make the best use that he could of his strength, and become, as it were, the champion and security of those who, although much longer at sea and more experienced than he was, were glad to shelter themselves under his courage and skill, the latter of which had excited the admiration of the butcher of the ship, who had been a pugilist by profession.
