The Colossus staggered. "Foul blow!" cried Viscount Barnard. Phelem-ghe-Madone sank down on the knee of his second, saying, "I am beginning to get warm." Lord Desertum consulted the umpires, and said, "Five minutes before time is called." Phelem-ghe-Madone was becoming weaker.
Miss May Sutton, the American lady champion and ex-champion of England, in her desire to stand as near the centre of the court as she possibly can, gets so close that umpires find it very difficult to tell whether she is serving from the right court or the wrong. In fact, I think I am right in saying she has actually been pulled up for stepping over the centre line of the base-line.
For which purpose they shall bring with them, to act as their esquires, umpires, and heralds, their most enlightened ministers and able generals, as Thugut, Pitt, and Bernstorff. He will bring, on his part, Counts Pahlen and Kutusoff." The first impression on the appearance of this singular document was surprise; the next, of course, was ridicule. The man must have utterly lost his senses.
On the supposition, even, that the bargains are hard, what have governors and legislators to do with thrusting themselves in between parties so situated, as special umpires?

The captain at first believed the scheme was calculated for subjecting him to the ridicule of his fellow-prisoners, and began to storm with great violence; but, by the assurances and address of Fathom, he was at length reconciled to the plan, and preparations were made on each side for this duel, which was actually smoked next day, about noon, in a small closet, detached from the challenger's apartment, and within hearing of his majesty, and all his court, assembled as witnesses and umpires of the contest.
The umpires in their sober blue uniforms took their places; the home team went into the field; the pitcher picked up the new white ball and settled his foot firmly on the slab and the game was on. It can serve no useful purpose now, when that game is done and its year's pennant determined, to play over the two hours' traffic of it.
Her face was now only a lovely dark-eyed mask, behind which her thoughts had suddenly begun racing wild little thoughts, all tumult and confusion, all trembling, too, with some scarcely understood hurt lashing them to recklessness.
