Then, again, there is no better weapon for guarding a heavy blow aimed at you with a thick bludgeon than an umbrella, which, with its wire ribs and soft covering, is almost unbreakable, when all its ribs are held tightly with _both_ hands; it is also, for the same reason, when thus grasped with both hands, an excellent defence against the attack of a large powerful dog, which may spring at your throat; but, in this case, remember to get one of your legs well behind the other so as to bring most of the weight of your body on the foremost leg, and, if you are lucky, you may have the satisfaction of throwing the animal on his back. keywords: arm; blade; body; cut; cuts; edge; fig; foot; guard; hand; hilt; hit; illustration; left; lunge; man; play; point; position; right; shoulder; staff; stick; sword; time; use; weapon cache: 31214.txt plain text: 31214.txt item: #3 of 14 id: 32154 author: Dick, Philip K. title: The Variable Man date: None words: 25827 flesch: 91 summary: Now that you know more about us you can see why Commissioner Reinhart was so interested in destroying you.
