Here, just as I wanted to take you driving, and walking in the woods, and boating, and fishing, and perhaps ballooning, and airshipping, and maybe skating, here you go and get yourself laid up so you can't do anything but eat and sleep! You're a nice Midget, you are! What's the use of having an Uncle Steve if you can't play with him?"
Mr. Bouncing pointed to the "Pink 'Un." "I've got plenty to amuse me," he explained, "and you mustn't think she doesn't look after me. Why, the other day when I had the high temperature, you know, and stayed in my room she came to the door after she'd been skating, and said, 'Still coughing? That shows she noticed I was worse, doesn't it?"
There was much waltzing to quick time, the glory of which seemed to consist in going backwards, and in the interweaving of the couples without striking each other, as is done in skating. They were all very perfect, except poor Lord Giblet, who once or twice nearly fell into trouble.
This applies to your life work as well as to skating. When you have mastered your legs somewhat, and can move fairly well forward, it will be quite time for you to learn some other way of getting experience and fun from the sport. Begin the variation by trying to cut a forward circle.
To my second surprise, she answered with the name of an uptown place where I never had been, and where I would have decidedly preferred not to take her. "They have a skating ballet," she urged, as I hesitated. "I know it is wonderful! Please, please ?" I gave the direction to the chauffeur and followed my cousin into the cab.
Women took lessons in how to sit down in them. They slashed them for tennis and skating. And street-car companies all over the country lowered the car steps to accommodate them. What's true for the hobble holds good for the hoop. Women will cease to single-foot and learn to undulate when they walk. They'll widen the car platforms.
Of course everybody was wishing for a frost, that they might have skating. "Oh, how delightful it will be!" exclaimed the midshipman. "I have not put on a pair of skates for the last five years. I have seen ice enough and to spare in the shape of icebergs, and floes, and fields of ice, but that is not the sort of ice suitable for skating.
And so it came to pass that the pretty maid would not look up that morning when, skating homeward from Amsterdam, she became convinced that a great burly boy was coming down the canal toward her. Humph! if I look at him, thought Annie, I'll "Good morrow, Annie Bouman," said a pleasant voice. How a smile brightens a girl's face! "Good morrow, Master Hans, I am right glad to meet you."
No one dreams of the depth and reverence and gratitude and loyalty and strength of the love that is burning in her heart until, all of a sudden, in the most unexpected and astonishing way, it bursts forth in sight of all. They had been down skating on the slough, a number of the youngsters and the daughters of the garrison.
I like to talk to different people " "I'm a different people; oh, I assure you I am. Please like to talk to me!" "I do. Or, at least, I'm sure I shall. What shall we talk about?" "Sports in general. What do you like best, next to skating?" "Tennis, don't you?" "Sure, if you do. But that's mostly for summer. Come on, let's skate round a couple of times, and then go for the tea place."
