How could I trust the helpless infant in hands which had hastened the baptism of many such, in order to hurry them to the secret pit in the cellar? Could I suppose that Father Phelan, Priest of the Parish Church of Montreal, would see his own child growing up in the world, and feel willing to run the rink of having the truth exposed?
This rink is a favourite afternoon resort of the European community, but the space is too limited and the attendance too crowded to admit of any really enjoyable skating by the light of a few oil lamps. I have skated on the moat outside the city wall but it was not very good, the chief attraction being to watch Chinese performers.
For Captain Jack and Snoopy went back to their old specialty, and before the Cornwalls knew where they were at, they ran in three goals one-two-three, just like that! Oh! you ought to have seen that rink, Mamma, and you ought to have heard the yelling! I wish you had been there!
Yet despite Ida's company she was feeling lonely and a little depressed, a stranger in a crowd, when she saw Captain Charlesworth enter the rink, accompanied by another man. Recent as had been their meeting, he seemed quite an old friend among all these unknown people about her, and she almost hoped that he would come and speak to her.
As the enclosure was limited in dimensions, it became apparent that half of the ice should be given over to the hockey players. When the game was finished the entire pond could be used by the general public. The "rink" had been scientifically measured off, and such lines as were necessary marked, after the rules of the game.
For Macnamara, 'Jack' Johnson and Captain Jack came roaring down the ice at a terrific pace, and with never a stop, smashed head on into Jumbo and Macnab and fairly hurled them in on Hepburn that is their goal keeper, you know and scored. Oh! Oh! Oh! Such a yell! Six to three, and ten minutes to play." "But Patricia," said Mrs. Templeton, "do moderate your tone. We are not in the rink.
There was nothing peculiarly touching about the flat, long road, with the rink beneath it and the mountains above. The houses and shops, German pensions and crowded balconies had no particular charm. Even the tall, thin spire of the church lacked distinction; and yet it seemed to Winn that it would be difficult to forget. He stopped at the rink as he returned to pick up his skates.
By and by Bunny and Susan said, "'Tis rather sad now to relate, We are too old and stiff to skate." Grandpa Grumbles said, "Chilly business this sport I think, Let's go roller-skating in a rink." Bunny and Susan said they must really go home and Grandpa Grumbles said he, too, would go to his own home. He shouted to the Seventeen Little Bears,
The Keyport players were plainly greatly chagrined, but they proved game losers, and had not a fault to find, shaking hands cheerfully with their late opponents, and expressing a hope that a return match could be arranged on their rink at some date not far in the future. It was well on toward noon when Hugh, tired of skating for one day, started homeward.
"Come out and see me go it," whispered Tom to Polly, after three days' practice in the street, for he had already learned to ride in the rink.
