I tell her to say no more, but reserve me a ringside seat, though near a window if one can be opened; say, as far as the early Greeks would have done at such a time, on account of the punk sticks. And of course I wouldn't miss it. I'm there at eight-thirty and find quite a bunch of Latin Quarter denizens already gathered and full of suppressed emotion. The punk sticks, of course, are going strong.
"You spoke it!" said the lad crisply, striking unsuccessfully at a fly which had settled on the blotting-paper. There was a pause. Sally started to rise. "And there's another thing," said the office-boy, loath to close the subject. "Can Bugs Butler make a hundred and thirty-five ringside without being weak?" "It sounds awfully difficult." "They say he's clever." The expert laughed satirically.
Of course, I've been at the ringside incog. many a time, but never as the Prince of Wales." "We should be vastly honoured if you would come incog. to our supper, sir." "Well, well, Sherry, make a note of it. We'll be at Carlton House on Friday. The Prince can't come, you know, Tregellis, but you might reserve a chair for the Earl of Chester."
"You see, we had what you might call ringside seats, and I noticed that it didn't take you very long to come back with some mighty stiff projecting yourself." "Yes. Him pastin' me between the eyes that way, I took as an onfriendly act, an' one I resented." "That wallop you landed on his chin was a beautiful piece of work." "Yes, quite comely." The cowboy wriggled his fingers painfully.
His huge figure and his raffish face were seen wherever rogues most did congregate; he showed young men "life" and sometimes his work as cicerone led them to death; his style of conversation would nowadays lead to a speedy prosecution; he was always seen by the ringside when unhappy brutes met to pound each other, and his stock of evil stories entertained the interesting noblemen and gentlemen who patronised the manly British sport.
Anyhow, art becomes less and less particular every day. The only thing that never gains or loses is this London Times. Someday I'm going to match the Congressional Record and the Times for the heavyweight championship of the world, with seven to one on the Record, to weigh in at the ringside." "You've been up north, Arthur," said Fitzgerald. "What's your advice?" "Don't do it.
She picked up and scanned with shrewd eyes the photograph of Spike that had been left: "To my friend Kid Cowan from his friend Eddie Spike Brennon, 133 lbs. ringside." She studied without wincing the crouched figure of hostile eye, even though the costume was not such as she would have selected for a young man. "After all, he's only a boy," she murmured. She studied again the intent face.
Occasionally boxing was arranged between ourselves and the Americans to what we would call amateur rules, three three-minute rounds with a two-minute break between rounds, no referee in the ring but with the contests bring controlled verbally by an officer at ringside. The styles of the two countries differed and we considered ourselves lucky if we won three out of the ten bouts.
The trainer and dog got out of the cab; we followed them through a fence and over a rise and there, about twenty yards from the main road, was a neatly-pitched enclosure like a prize-ring, a thirty-foot-square enclosure formed with stakes and ropes. About a hundred people were at the ringside, and in the far corner, in the arms of his trainer, was the other dog a brindle.
"Don't you ever dare do a thing like that again," she warned me, "unless I got a ringside seat," to which I remained severely silent, for I felt my offence should not be made light of. "Three rousing cheers!" exclaimed Cousin Egbert, whereat the two most unfeelingly went through a vivid pantomime of cheering.
