Hawley gave utterance to one cry, half throttled in his throat, and then the two grappled fiercely, so interlocked together as to make weapons useless. Whoever the assailant might be, the gambler was fully aware by now that he was being crushed in the grasp of a fighting man, and exerted every wrestler's trick, every ounce of strength, to break free.
That Kark was no favorite with you or your friend" he nodded toward the Norman "was seen by everybody. Confess that it was by the sword of one of you that the thrall met his death." For once the Wrestler's face lost its gentleness. His huge frame stiffened haughtily, as he drew himself up.
And so for shame, if accordingly thou shalt consider it, every particular motion and posture by itself: and so for the wrestler's exercise too.
Each day he bestrode his saddle till his bones cried out for weariness, and his stomach, walls ground together for want of food, but when he sat among his fellows to eat with keenest pleasure the beef and beans of the pot wrestler's providing, he was content. He had no time to think of Jack or Mary except on the nights when he took his trick at watching the night herd.
'Ho! ho! my little friend! that is your plan, is it? quoth the wrestler, with a yawn; and catching hold of the elephant's tail, and swinging the monster over his shoulder, he continued his journey jauntily. By and by he reached his destination, and, standing outside the Indian wrestler's house, cried out, 'Ho! my friend! Come out and try a fall!
With a roar like that of a maddened lion the Major bowed himself, caught his man in a mighty wrestler's grip and flung him broadcast into the coleus bed. The words that went with the fierce attack made Ardea crouch and shiver and take refuge behind the great dog. Japheth Pettigrass jumped down from his step-ladder and went to help the engineer out of the flower bed.
And he shuffled over to one of the torches to light a splinter in its flame, and pushed his way forward with dragging feet. Sigurd and the Norman both sprang after him. "I tell you, Rolf, I have something against this!" Sigurd stormed, as the Wrestler's iron hand closed upon his cloak. "My my my valuables are in the same chest. I will not have him pawing them over. Let me go, I say!"
'Oh, mamma! mamma! cried a treble voice from within, 'I declare that nasty man has thrown a mouse over the wall into my lap! What shall I do to him? 'Never mind, little daughter! answered the wrestler's wife; 'papa will teach him better manners. Take the grass broom and sweep the mouse away. Then there was a sound of sweeping, and immediately the dead elephant came flying over the wall.
He charged, stooping low in a wrestler's stance, but Ross squatted even lower. One hand flicked to the churned dust of the ground and snapped up again, sending a cloud of grit into the tribesman's face. Then their bodies met with a shock, and Ennar sailed over Ross's shoulder to skid along the earth. Had Ross been fresh, the contest would have ended there and then in his favor.
Alwin did not answer immediately: of a sudden it occurred to him to doubt the Wrestler's mild manner. While he was still hesitating, Rolf caught him lightly around the waist and swung him over a hedge into a field where a dozen red-and-yellow tented booths were clustered. "These are Thorgrim Svensson's tents," he explained, following as coolly as though that were the accepted mode of entrance.
