question: CHAPTER XXIII 

THE SPRINGTIME OF LIFE 

"A fight! a fight!" came from the crowd, and soon Tom and Koswell were surrounded by a number of students and some outsiders. 

The blow from the bully angered Tom greatly, and skating forward he made a pass at Koswell. But the latter ducked, and then came back at Tom with a blow that sent the fun-loving Rover into several students standing by. 

"Say, Rover, look out, or Jerry Koswell will eat you up!" said one of the seniors. 

"Koswell is a good scrapper," came from another. 

"I gave him one lesson and I can give him another," answered Tom. "There, take that!" 

He turned swiftly and rushed at Koswell. One blow after another was delivered with telling accuracy, and Koswell went flat on his back on the ice. When he got up his nose was bleeding. 

"I'll fix you!" he roared. "Come on to shore and take off your skates!" 

"I'm willing," answered Tom recklessly. He knew fighting was against the rules of the college, but he was not going to cry quits. 

The pair moved toward the shore, the crowd still surrounding them. They soon had their skates off. 

"Now, Jerry, do him up brown!" came from Larkspur, who was present. 

"Give him the thrashing of his life!" added Flockley, who had come up. 

"He has got to spell able first, and he doesn't know the alphabet well enough to do it!" answered Tom. 

"What's up?" cried a voice from the rear of the crowd, and Dick appeared, followed by Sam.

question: Moscow (CNN) -- The Bolshoi Ballet says the allegations swirling around one of its dancers -- that he choreographed an attack to blind the artistic director -- are "absurd." 

Even an alleged confession in the case does nothing to convince the cast and crew that Pavel Dmitrichenko could be behind the attack that severely burned and nearly blinded Sergei Filin, the Bolshoi employees said in an open letter Wednesday. 

"Unfortunately, the history of our country and our society knows many examples" when results were achieved by "illegal methods, and evidence and proof often turned out to be a fiction," the letter said. 

The group called for an independent commission to probe the attack. 

Moscow police struck back, saying its "investigators do their job honestly." 

Ballet 'villain' arrested: Story in 4 Acts 

The plot laid out by authorities pits Dmitrichenko as the central villain, lashing out against Filin -- a man who often cast Dmitrichencko as the villain in productions. 

What neither side disputes: Someone threw sulfuric acid into Filin's face in January as he entered his Moscow apartment. 

Police say Dmitrichenko had two co-conspirators, one of whom threw the acid. 

Local newspapers had quoted ballet members as saying Dmitrichenko was angry because he thought Filin was stifling the career of Anzhelina Vorontsova -- Dmitrichenko's girlfriend. 

"For everyone who knows Pavel Dmitrichenko, even the idea that he could be the mastermind and the customer of the crime committed in such a brutal form, is absurd," the Bolshoi's cast and crew said in their letter.

question: Hatfield is a town and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England, in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield. It had a population of 29,616 in 2001, increasing to 39,201 at the 2011 Census. The settlement is of Saxon origin. Hatfield House, the home of the Marquess of Salisbury, is the nucleus of the old town. From the 1930s when de Havilland opened a factory until the 1990s when British Aerospace closed, Hatfield was associated with aircraft design and manufacture, which employed more people than any other industry. 

Hatfield was one of the post-war New Towns built around London and has much modernist architecture from the period. The University of Hertfordshire is based there. Hatfield is north of London and is connected to the capital via the A1(M) and direct trains to London King's Cross, Finsbury Park and Moorgate. As a result, the town has seen a recent increase in commuters who work in London moving to the area. 

In the Saxon period Hatfield was known as Hetfelle, but by the year 970, when King Edgar gave to the monastery of Ely, it had become known as Haethfeld. Hatfield is mentioned in the Domesday Book as the property of the Abbey of Ely, and unusually, the original census data which compilers of Domesday used still survives, giving us slightly more information than in the final Domesday record. No other records remain until 1226, when Henry III granted the Bishops of Ely rights to an annual four-day fair and a weekly market. The town was then called Bishop's Hatfield.
