A short rally at close quarters, and they close: in another moment the slogger is thrown again heavily for the third time. "I'll give you three to two on the little one in half-crowns," said Groove to Rattle. "No, thank 'ee," answers the other, diving his hands further into his coat-tails.
Old Bunk was right, they had come there to get him, and there was no use playing into their hands; yet at thought of Slogger Meacham his hair began to bristle and he muttered half-formed threats.
She gave me the street and the name, but wasn't quite sure of the number." "Vell, come along, let's hear all about it," said Robin impatiently. "Wy, wot's all your 'urry?" returned the Slogger slowly; "I ain't goin' away till I've heerd wot your angel's got to say, you know.
Brooke can't find it in his heart to stop them just yet, so the round goes on, the Slogger waiting for Tom, and reserving all his strength to hit him out should he come in for the wrestling dodge again, for he feels that that must be stopped, or his sponge will soon go up in the air.
"Now, Robin," said I, with emphasis, "sit down on that chair, opposite me, and let's hear all about it." The excited boy obeyed, and Dumps, leaping on another chair beside him, sat down to listen, with ears erect, as if he knew what was coming. "Oh, sir! you never such a go!" began Robin, rubbing his hands together slowly as he spoke. "The Slogger! he twigged 'er at once.
Martin meanwhile folded the clothes, and put them under the chapel rails; and now Tom, with East to handle him and Martin to give him a knee, steps out on the turf, and is ready for all that may come: and here is the slogger too, all stripped, and thirsting for the fray.
Besides, you can see by the clear white of his eye and fresh bright look of his skin, that he is in tip-top training, able to do all he knows; while the slogger looks rather sodden, as if he didn't take much exercise and ate too much tuck. The time-keeper is chosen, a large ring made, and the two stand up opposite one another for a moment, giving us time just to make our little observations.

"Hullo!" said Tom, shouldering into the crowd, "you drop that, Williams; you shan't touch him." "Who'll stop me?" said the slogger, raising his hand again. "I," said Tom; and suiting the action to the word, struck the arm which held Arthur's arm so sharply, that the slogger dropped it with a start, and turned the full current of his wrath on Tom. "Will you fight?" "Yes, of course."
He couldn't help thinking to himself that he was glad he hadn't won; he liked it better as it was, and felt very friendly to the slogger. And then poor little Arthur crept in and sat down quietly near him, and kept looking at him and the raw beef with such plaintive looks, that Tom at last burst out laughing. "Don't make such eyes, young 'un," said he, "there's nothing the matter."
