Capitolo 51

I assault more impetuous.

In some place in his/her Greek reader, Hector was met with a motto
it attributed to Pindar, that her "boldness is the beginning of the victory."
He felt that the time had now come for a decisive hit. He didn't do
the happy ones, therefore with protecting, or simply rejecting the
hit of his/her antagonist but him on his/her behalf it supposed the offensive one. Him
treated his/her hits with puzzling rapidity, pressed on Jim,
cleverly escaping the taking of his/her arm long, and in an in a flash the
champion measured its length on the greensward.

He didn't clearly remain there. He jumped to his/her feet, and
renewed the attack. But he had lost his/her trust. He was
puzzled, and, to confess the truth, prey to the panic and the
second skirmish was briefer than her before.

When, for the third time, he fell again, with his/her young opponent
being standing erect and vigorous, the enthusiasm of the boys overcame the
limits of the prudence. There was a cries of approval and the fallen ones
champion, to add to his/her defeat was forced to listen to his
possesses until here followers shouting beneficial, "Hurray for the new one
boy! Hurray for Hector Roscoe!"

This was too much for Jim.

He gruffly of rose from the earth, it looked around him with indignation
what he could not check, and, shaking his/her fist, not to a boy in
particular, but to the whole society, it exclaimed:  "You will be sorry
for this, You the individuals! You can leave me, and it is next to the new boy if
You want, but you will be sorry for him. I will beat her one to the time,
as I have often done before."

"Try Roscoe before!" says a boy, mockingly.

"Me You procceserò before!" Said Jim;  and too angry to postpone his
intention, he constituted a rush the offender.

The according to whether he/she knew him it was not match for the angry wrangler, it turned and
run away. Jim got ready to follow him/it, when he was brought to from Hector
putting himself/herself/itself in his/her run.

"Impediment that the boy alone!" he said, austerely.
