He was so strong that she was almost helpless in his grasp.,“By heck!” ejaculated Mr. Wopp who sat in the front seat beside his wife and Betty.

What d’ye call it?”，“Yes; he’d lick him too, if Flash wasn’t Tom’s body-guard.”，“Break it,—not now; when I tell you.”，Mr. Wopp, goaded to desperation, breathed audibly his opinion regarding pipe-fitting.
