John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry

Even then he was called Old Pat and had been out of the ring for years.

He had antedated Sullivan in the old London prize ring rules, though his last fading battles had been put up under the incoming Marquess of Queensberry rules.

What ring follower did not know of Pat Glendon, though few were alive who had seen him in his prime, and there were not many more who had seen him at all.

Yet his name had come down in the history of the ring, and no sporting writer's lexicon was complete without it.

At last, Billy Morgan managed to make the final announcement.

"This will be a forty-five-round contest," he shouted.

"Marquess of Queensberry rolls, and may the best man win.

Let her go." The gong struck.

Aircraft carriers are not going to prevent a lunatic a fanatic, a terrorist, going into a supermarket and leaving a bomb there.

I think that the time has come for us to act like someone who realizes that he is locked in a room with an armed lunatic, and that the armed lunatic is not going to abide by the Marquis of Queensberry rules, not punch you below the belt, etc.

It's one of those days that I think everyone will remember.

People have compared it to Pearl Harbor.

...

the, the supposed right-wingers don't say, "Yeah, that's the play." So, you know, y- you're not playing Marquis de Queensberry rules.

You're playing, you know, like, shiv-a-guy-in-the-back rules.

So act accordingly.
