"You'll win, lads," said the Cornishman, patting them affectionately on the back and Denver led them off for their rub-down. The band began to play in the street below and the Miners' Union marched past, after which they banked in about a huge block of granite and the drilling contests began.
She seemed to be speechless with exhaustion, almost incapable of standing alone. Mr. Lorimer recommended a cold bath, a brisk rub-down, and supper. "After which," he said impressively, "I shall hope to conduct a few prayers before we retire to rest." "That will be impossible, I am afraid," Avery rejoined. "Jeanie is overtired and must go at once to bed."
The gates of the park were closed, and locked, too, or so Cogan guessed, and wasted no time in trying them. The fence was pretty high and had iron spikes on top, and he felt somewhat stiff in his joints, but a hot temper is good as a bath and a rub-down any time Cogan vaulted the fence, and the two natives just then turned and saw him.
And then the last player trots off the field, and the coaches, conversing earnestly among themselves, follow, and the day's work is done. There are still the bath and the rub-down and the weighing; but these are gone through with leisurely while the day's work is discussed and the coaches, circulating among the fellows, inflict an epilogue of criticism and instruction.
Everything is lovely until some rascal in the bunch throws a cold sponge on you and slaps you across the back, or turns the cold water on, when you only want hot. Then comes the dry-off and the rub-down, which seems to soothe all your bruises.
Even after a thorough rub-down the taint was in the air. The bird was muttering and turning somersaults. "Thanks, Rajah, old sport! He'd have got me but for you. Let's see the damage." He picked up the belt. The paper-money was intact, and what gold had fallen he could easily find. He then took up his vest . . . and dropped it, stunned. The letter of credit for half his fortune was gone.
"If you want to use the shower, Steve," he said, "you'd better get up there now. I shan't be ready yet awhile. Then, if this is one of your energetic mornings and you would care to give me a rub-down " "Sure," said Steve obligingly. He picked up his clothes and went upstairs to the bathroom, which, like the bedrooms, opened on to the gallery.
"No man would tie up a mare worth tin thousand dollars if she's worth a cent, an' take chances av her throwin' hersilf in the halter; av coorse she's hitched fer a bit after a gallop while she's havin' a rub-down, but that's all." Lucretia's black nozzle came timidly forward, and the soft, velvety upper lip snuggled Allis's cheek. "She knows ye, Miss," said Mike.
The "Greytown," in the meantime, had manoeuvered as close as was safe for such a big craft to come. The ship's doctor put off in a lifeboat, and soon declared his patient fit to be removed to the liner. While all this was going on, Jack had slipped quietly below. He took a brisk rub-down, donned dry clothing, and speedily appeared on deck, looking as though nothing had happened.
Get yourselves some coffee in the galley, have a good rub-down, spread your clothing to dry, and turn in in the state-rooms." Grant Andrews went ashore with the builder and the inventor. The first thing the submarine boys did was to start coffee in the galley. Next they rubbed down, got into dry underclothing, then sat down over their coffee.
