And Jim, eleven stone, what chance had he

Against fourteen? but what he could he did;

Ern swung his right: 'That settles you, my kid.'

Jimmy went down and out: 'The kid,' said Ern.

'A kid, a sucking puppy; hold the light.'

And Anna smiled: 'It gave me such a turn,

You look so splendid, Ernie, when you fight.'

She looked at Jim with: 'Ern, is he all right?'

'He's coming to.' She shuddered, 'Pah, the brute.

What things he said'; she stirred him with her foot.
