Washburn's and tell him their story, as they knew he kept late hours and would most likely not have gone to bed. Mr. Washburn, stolid man of law though he was, could not listen to such a narrative without perceptable signs of astonishment.
Late in his Senior year we had a committee meeting of the Alpha Delta Phi in Charles Washburn's room at 15 Holworthy. Roosevelt and I sat in the window-seat overlooking the College Yard and chatted together in the intervals when business was slack. We discussed what we intended to do after graduation.
In passing the Rue Castiglione we saw it was full of soldiers, and looking toward the Place de la Concorde we saw more barricades there. This was a sight to behold! A very impertinent, common-looking voyou said, on looking at Mr. Washburn's card, "Vous etes tous tres chic... mais vous ne passerez pas, tout de meme." We shook in our shoes. But Mr.
It is a case of a great athlete making a second-class game first class, by sheer power of personality and fighting ability. He is really a second M'Loughlin in his game, his speed, and his personal charm. In contrast to Murray, Watson Washburn plays a cool, never-hurried, never-flurried game that is unique in American tennis. There is little that is noteworthy of Washburn's game.
His ha'nt 'ud ride with me every time I passed over the Hawkbill." "Bill Washburn's in thar," said a man in the edge of the crowd. "I seed 'im run in as we rid up." The leader, who sat on a restive horse near Westerfelt, called out: "Hello in thar, Bill Washburn; git out some'n to put yore man on. Hurry up, ur we'll take you along to see the fun."
He took up a sheet of paper and began the note, but was interrupted by Washburn's step outside. He crumpled the paper in his hand, quickly thrust it into his pocket, and pretended to be looking over the pages of the ledger which lay open on the desk. "Hello!" Washburn stood in the doorway. "I didn't know you wus heer. Anything gone wrong?" "No; why?" "It's a little early fer you, that's all."

In preparation for Washburn's departure on the 27th of October, Franklin began to draw back from Opelousas to New Iberia.
Murray appeals to the imagination of the crowd, Washburn to its academic instincts. Washburn is a strategist, working out his match with mathematical exactness, and always checking up his men as he goes along. There is no tennis player whose psychology I admire more than Washburn's.
Long Jim Hunter came to the door leading a fine bay horse, a horse that Westerfelt recognized at a glance as one he had seen and admired before. "Oh, Mr. Westerfelt," he called out over Washburn's shoulder, who had gone to him. "I wish you'd step heer a minute. I know you don't do the rough work round heer, but I like to have my dealings with the head of a shebang.
Washburn's boat was the first to return, and I went on shore in it. I wanted the mate to see Mr. Cornwood; but I did not mention him, for I wanted my friend to make up his mind in regard to the Floridian without any suggestion from me, and without his knowing that he was doing duty as a judge. I asked Washburn to take a stroll with me.
