...perfectly true that we have a legal right to slam our doors in their faces, although if I may be facetious, most doors in the Houses have an automatic closer attached which makes door-slamming a job for some Hercules.

The Scotsmen played a camay, conservative game, in sharp contrast to the generally slam-bang U.S. style. The Scots used blockade tactics in front of the scoring circle until the skip, comparable to cleanup batter in baseball, could send his final stone down to nudge his teammates' into the bull...
