"I must not be recognized here. There are reasons. I'll explain in a minute. Say, but it's fine to see you! Five years, Dick, five years since I saw you run down University Field and spread-eagle the whole Wisconsin football team." "Don't recollect that," replied Dick, laughing.

Count Roumovski looked at Eustace Medlicott, who stood as a spread-eagle in front of the door and then, smiling, went calmly on his way. The Reverend Mr. Medlicott shook with burning rage.
President Taylor was absent, and Colonel Bliss apologized for his non-attendance, saying that he was somewhat indisposed. The old hero had that day sat in the sun at the Washington Monument during a long spread-eagle address by Senator Foote, with a tedious supplementary harangue by George Washington Parke Custis.
