Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"He's liable to get nasty if he's hurt," Hazard warned Billy, as
he tied on the gloves for him. "He's old American French, and
he's got a devil of a temper. But just keep your head and tap
him--whatever you do, keep tapping him."


"Easy sparring now"; "No roughhouse, Bideaux"; "Just light
tapping, you know," were admonitions variously addressed to the
Iron Man.


"Hold on a second," he said to Billy, dropping his hands. "When I
get rapped I do get a bit hot. But don't mind me. I can't help
it, you know. It's only for the moment, and I don't mean it."
