Mr.Crawford has a box to the fight to-night, and he thought perhaps you'd like to go along with us." "A boxing-match ?" "Ten rounds, light-weights; and fast boys, too. Both Irish." "Really, I shall be glad to go." "Webb ?" "Yes." "Never use that word 'really' to me. It's un-Irish." Thomas heard a chuckle before the receiver at the other end clicked on the hook. |
