Bending over, Ethel turned back the cloth and thumped on the under side of the table.

Having tested Nick's superb playing and found it good, the captain of the Scratch Seven was willing to put him forward as their star player, even if it went against the grain to realize that they had to depend on a fellow so much in disrepute. There were several hot scrimmages, as always occur during a strenuous game of ice hockey.

Mebbee there's been a little too many scrimmages goin' on round the ranch sence she's been a child; mebbee she orter know suthin' more of a man than a feller who sparks her and fights for her." The master was silent. Had this dull, narrow-minded partisan stumbled upon a truth that had never dawned upon his own broader comprehension?

All the time we was telling of it, and our scrimmages with the Ingins, she was a crying and hugging Paul as if her heart was broke.

"Clara's got real well and Pop's swore off, and there ain't no lively times like there used to be. Of course," she prophesied cheerfully, "Pop'll fall off in about a week he ain't one to stick to water long, you know. Then I bet there'll be some scrimmages.
