Tell it!" "Pardon me, my friend, but I shall not tell it." "And such is your gratitude!" cried Mrs. Mac. Aiter all the trouble I have been at, but it is only what might have been expected of your kind." She arose and angrily swept out of the room. Old King Brady expected that the Yogi would pursue the subject, but he did not. Instead, he told Muley to light a large lamp which stood on the table, and this was done. The Bradys stood around, embarrassed. The Yogi meanwhile took down the curtain, folded it up and flung it on a sofa. Then he pulled the cushion forward, seated himself on it in his usual fashion and lighted a cigarette. "I suppose we are all through here," remarked Harry. "How is it?" Old King Brady asked the Hindoo. "I am quite through with you," was the sour Teply. "It seems, to me that it is up to you to explain what was meant by that allusion to the shadow with the wax nose," said Old Kraig Brady, who was determined to make no mention of 16 Calico place in any event. "Nothing to say," snarled the Yogi. "But, my friend" "Nothing to say, I tell you." "My letter of instruction mentions that the ruby bug was formerly the property of the Begum of Bhadapota. Our friend, Mrs. Mac, alluded to that last figure which appeared as the Begum. Do I understand that you pretend to have raised the spook of the original owner of the ruby bug?" "Nothing to say.

The #1 New York Times bestseller by the 6-time Super Bowl champion The first book by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady--the 6-time Super Bowl champion who is still reaching unimaginable heights of excellence at 42 years old--a gorgeously illustrated and deeply practical "athlete's bible" that reveals Brady's revolutionary approach to sustained peak performance for athletes of all kinds and all ages. In modern sports, some athletes have managed to transcend their competition in a way that no one will ever forget: Jordan. Jeter. Ali. Williams. These elite legends have changed the game, achieved the unthinkable, and pushed their bodies to unbelievable limits. Joining their exclusive ranks is Tom Brady. "Brady is the healthiest great champion the NFL has ever had, both physically and mentally" (Sally Jenkins, The Washington Post). The longtime New England Patriots quarterback, who in 2017 achieved his fifth Super Bowl win and fourth Super Bowl MVP award, is widely regarded as an athlete whose training and determination pushed him from a mediocre draft position to the most-revered and respected professional football player of his generation. In The TB12 Method, Tom Brady explains how he developed his groundbreaking approach to long-term fitness, presenting a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to his personal practice. Brady offers the principles behind pliability, which is at the heart of a new paradigm shift and movement toward a more natural, healthier way of exercising, training, and living--and one that challenges some commonly held assumptions around health and wellness. Filled with lessons learned from Brady's own peak performance training, and step-by-step action steps to help readers develop and maintain their own peak performance, The TB12 Method also advocates for more effective approaches to strength training, hydration, nutrition, supplementation, cognitive fitness, recovery, and other lifestyle choices that dramatically decrease the risk of injury while amplifying and extending performance, as well as quality of life. After using his methods for over a decade, Brady believes that the TB12 approach has made him--and can make any athlete, male or female, in any sport and at any level--achieve their own peak performance. With instructions, drills, photos, in-depth case studies that Brady himself has used, as well as personal anecdotes and experiences from on and off the field, The TB12 Method is the only book an athlete will ever need, a playbook from Brady himself that will change the game.
