Excerpt from The Face of Air

I7for a midnight promenade They were drunk and I was surly; and the natural re sult was a free-for-all fight. I had muscle plus in those days; and more than one of the gang must have carried vivid reminders of the country lad they tried to do. But, in Spite of my strength, I was down on my back, fighting in savage silence with both feet and one hand, and hugging the small est of my antagonists to my breast as a par tial shield with the other hand, when help arrived. I heard a hoarse roar, an exclam ation in some foreign tongue, a-thud of feet on the pavement, a sound of blows; and suddenly the gang was gone. Someone was helping me to my feet. My head was still buzzing from a vicious kick.
