'Whoy, mun, he answered, 'I know as much of this 'ere house as Beaufort does himsel'. Afore Badminton was built, me and my brothers has spent many a day in climbing over the old Boteler tower. It's not the first time that I have spoke through this window. But, quick; what can I do for you?
The young Shands had generally lived a pleasant life; had gone to school, the eldest son, as we have seen, to the university also, and had had governesses, and ponies to ride, and had been great at dancing, and had shot arrows, and played Badminton, and been subject to but little domestic discipline.
The shadows were beginning to lengthen as he hacked out of the camp, waving a farewell hand at a badminton four, and headed for Poperinghe. Poperinghe lay about a mile up the road towards his destination, and Vane had known it at intervals for over three years.
How well the last named have succeeded is proved by the silver cup carried off as a trophy by the College badminton team, which distinguished itself as the winner in last year's intercollegiate sports.

But the rustling continued and grew louder.
Those who are interested in the archaeology of the bow should read the volume on archery of the Badminton Library by Longmans. Various peoples have excelled in shooting, notably the Japanese, the Turks, the Scythians, and the English. Others have not been suited by temperament to use the bow. The Latins, the Peruvians, and the Irish seem never to have been toxophilites.
The guests read steadily through the current batch of magazines, and fell back gradually, on the "Badminton Library" and bound volumes of PUNCH. Lady Blemley made periodic visits to the pantry, returning each time with an expression of listless depression which forestalled questioning. At two o'clock Clovis broke the dominating silence. "He won't turn up to-night.
If she says that we are going to play badminton well, we are going to play badminton." "I think that you might help too." Ricky attacked a fresh pod viciously as their cousin came up on the terrace.
