"You've played too hard. I knew you would. Come quick and get a good rub-down. You're nearly all in. Why didn't we realize it sooner.
Two things are essential to a clean skin; one is bathing and a rub-down, but the other is still more important, and that is perspiration. Food, water, and oxygen are the fuel for running the human machine. You never saw a dog fill his mouth with food and then take a drink to wash it down.
Meantime the boys had gathered about Durand, but boy-like made light of the episode though down in their hearts they knew it had required pluck and steady nerve to do as he had done, and their admiration found expression in hauling off their reefers to force them upon him, or in giving him a clip upon the back and telling him he was "all right," and to "come on back to Bancroft for a rub-down after his bath."
Joel trotted off with the teams for a shower and a rub-down, and West conducted his parents back to the gate, where they awaited him. On the way Mr. March confided to West that "football wasn't what he'd call a parlor game, but on the whole it appeared to be rather interesting."

This always rendered them wideawake and gave them appetites which could not have been better. They took turns at cooking and baking, and at washing dishes and keeping the fire supplied with wood.
One evening she discovered him leaning over a gate on Rub-Down Hill, the gate at which Winterborne had once been standing, and which opened on the brink of a steep, slanting down directly into Blackmoor Vale, or the Vale of the White Hart, extending beneath the eye at this point to a distance of many miles.
Polly asked no questions, but opened the door and held the lantern for him. "Can't I do something?" she said. "Yes; get Jack something warm, and then boil me some gruel." This was said in a hoarse whisper; he could hardly get his breath, but he gave me a rub-down as usual, and even went up into the hayloft for an extra bundle of straw for my bed.
Go to bed, Nicolas, and sleep! That's an order, remember!" The Mexican therefore went to his bedroom without protest. Presently Reade became aware of the fact that his clothing had not by any means fully dried. He went to his room, took a vigorous rub-down, donned dry clothing, and then went out on the porch. Though the night was dark the air was delicious.
