Le's have a friendly rassle. "In a second the two men were locked together. Armstrong had lunged at Abe with a yell. There was no friendship in the way he took hold. He was going to do all the damage he could in any way he could. He tried to butt with his head and ram his knee into Abe's stomach as soon as they came together. Half drunk Jack is a man who would bite your ear off.
Abe, you show the gentleman where to put his horses an' lend him a hand." Abe extended his long arm toward Samson and said "Howdy" as they shook hands. "When his big hand got hold of mine, I kind of felt his timber," Samson writes. "I says to myself, 'There's a man it would be hard to tip over in a rassle." "What's yer name? How long ye been travelin'? My conscience!
I wanted to go an' cuff that feller's ears an' grab hold o' him an' toss him over the ridge pole. Abe went right up to him an' said: "'Jack, you ain't half so bad or half so cordy as ye think ye are. You say you can throw down any man here. I reckon I'll have to show ye that you're mistaken. I'll rassle with ye. We're friends an' we won't talk about lickin' each other.
I ain't sayin' I's plum won over yit, but 'way down deep insides of me I's stirred yessum, tha's the word stirred. I ain't sayin' the spirit of grace is actually th'owed me, but I feel prone to say I thinks it's fixin' to rassle wid me. I ain't sayin' I stands convicted, but I aims to be a searcher fur the truth; I aims to stop, look, an' lissen.
Forthwith he playfully jumped into the air clapping his heels together three times before he touched the ground. "I cain't rassle like I used to could but I be willin' to give ye a try, Abe," said the minister. "You'd better save your strength for ol' Satan," said Abe. "Go on, Abe," the others urged. "Give him a try." Abe modestly stepped forward.
Oh, de Big Bethel chu'ch! de Big Bethel chu'ch, Done put ole Satun behine am; Ef a sinner git loose fum enny udder chu'ch De Big Bethel chu'ch will fine um! DAR'S a pow'ful rassle 'twix de Good en de Bad, En de Bad's got de all under holt; En w'en de wuss come, she come i'on-clad, En you hatter hol' yo' bref for de jolt.
"A rassle a rassle," their neighbors shouted. "I'd rather give ten bushel o' wheat than miss seein' you fellers take hold o' each other," said Alexander Ferguson. "I would too," said Martin Waddell. So it happened that these friendly giants, each dreading the ordeal, faced each other for a contest. "Now we shall see which is the son of Peleus and which the son of Telemon," Kelso shouted.
"How shall we rassle?" Samson asked. "I don't care," said Abe. "Rough and tumble," Ferguson proposed. Both men agreed. They bent low intently watching each other, their great hands outreaching. They stood braced for a second and suddenly both sprang forward. Their shoulders came together with a thud. It was like two big bison bulls hurling their weight in the first shock of battle.
"Ah," said old Gideon, sipping his scented drink, "virtue may become wearisome, and we may gape during the most fervent prayer, but I gad, John, there is always the freshness of youth in a mint julep. Pour just a few more drops of liquor into mine, if you please want it to rassle me a trifle, you know. Recollect those come-all ye songs we used to sing, going down the river?
If there reely is any sech fish which I don't believe there is I'm goin' t' rassle with him an' mebbe tek him out o' the river. Thet fish is sp'llin' the moral character o' this town. He oughter be rode on a rail thet fish hed. How he would punish a trout in that manner Mr Tupper failed to explain, but his metaphor was always a worse fit than his trousers and that was bad enough.
