Mrs. Blakeston caught hold of her hair with both hands and tugged at it as hard as she could. But they were immediately separated. ''Ere, 'old 'ard!' said some of the men. 'Fight it aht fair and square. Don't go scratchin' and maulin' like thet.' 'I'll fight 'er, I don't mind!' shouted Mrs. Blakeston, tucking up her sleeves and savagely glaring at her opponent.
