He kindles raging fires in the hearts of the young, fans the flames that are almost dead in the old, awakens the fever of passion in the chaste bosoms of virgins and instils a genial warmth into the breasts of wives and widows equally. He has even aforetime forced the gods, wrought up to a frenzy by his blazing torch, to forsake the heavens and dwell on earth under false appearances.
"Phil Gordon came and asked Peter questions, and the old man got mad and said, 'Git out!" While he was talking Jacques had brought out the fans at Kit's request, but they were cheap and not any particular value. "I wonder what Phil found out," mused Bet. But whatever Phil's object was in going to the antique shop, it strengthened the suspicion against him.
Nearly three hundred other boys were walking about on the field, or lying down under the trees. Already the South Grammar boys were on the field, practicing by way of warming up. "Hello! Here come the bluebells!" yelled a group of South Grammar fans and rooters. "Blue? You bet they'll be blue when the game is over!" "Hey, Prescott! What'll you take for the letters on your shirt?"
The dress of the lower orders has remained precisely the same for hundreds of years; and before I had been ashore five minutes I realised more fully than I had ever done before the truthfulness of the representations of native artists, with which the fans, screens, and vases one sees in England are ornamented.
If they go to the church, it is apt to be a sacred parade, and the discourse, instead of being a plain talk about the soul, is apt to be what is called a crack sermon that is, some discourse picked out of the effusions of the year as the one most adapted to excite admiration; and in those churches, from the way the ladies hold their fans, you know that they are not so much impressed with the heat as with the picturesqueness of half-disclosed features.
Binghamton swaggered along the bleachers while the umpire slowly returned to his post. The fans took exception to the player's objection and were not slow in expressing it. Various witty enconiums, not to be misunderstood, attested to the bleachers' love of fair play and their disgust at a player's getting himself put out of the game at a critical stage. The game proceeded.
Both sexes, both at home and abroad, go with the head uncovered, and to protect them from the sun they use large fans or paper umbrellas. The military, however, wear hats. The Japanese are fond of field-sports, and the nobles go out shooting on their estates much in the same way that gentlemen in England do on theirs. They, as do the Chinese, also hunt game with hawks and falcons.
Then he sat down and lighted a cigarette. His head was all blurred with sleep. And presently a tired voice, called "Boy!" and he went in. The all-too-golden head was deep into the pillow and long lashes made fans on that powdered face. "Where did you pinch the magic carpet?" she asked, and smiled, and fell into sleep as a stone disappears into water.
"Play ball!" you hear the fans exclaim, when weary of a dragging game, when all the players pause to state their theories in a joint debate, or when they go about their biz as though they had the rheumatiz. And if they do not heed the hunch that's given by the bleachers bunch, they find, when next they start to play, that all the fans have stayed away.
If Peter had taken the fan, he would hide it away for a while at least. "But there is something suspicious about him. Saying he didn't have any fans, when they were right there all the time," Kit confided to the chums when she returned to the shop. "It does look suspicious!" Joy cried. "Girls, I do believe we are hot on the trail." "I wish I could believe it!" Bet was not optimistic.
