Bicycling is very popular, not only here, but in Holland generally; in fact, most of the boys seem to prefer this form of exercise to any of the games which have been mentioned. Whether at work or play, all the boys are under the constant supervision of one or other of the resident masters, and the head is not far off.
She used to go out bicycling a good deal by herself in those early days that, I fancy, was how she got to know both Wellesley and your cousin. She was fond enough of their society anyway!" "Always?" asked Brent. He was learning things that he had never heard of, and was already thinking deeply about them. "From the beginning?" "Well, practically," replied Hawthwaite.
Indeed the invariable absence of the mothers gave him a rather bad opinion of them: for surely they must know that many of the nurse-girls neglected the infants and yet they exercised no supervision. 'Of course, said he, 'they are visiting or receiving, or reading novels, or bicycling or playing lawn tennis.
Meanwhile, I read a lot and spent time with friends, some of whom also enjoyed hiking and bicycling. In the summer of 1976, when I was sixteen, I bicycled from the White Mountains of New Hampshire to Boston with people from an outing club. One morning, as I watched my traveling companions prepare their daily dose of hallucinogens, I realized that I wanted to be part of their fellowship.
"My precious Ettie, what nonsense for a violent exercise like bicycling! Where one gets so hot! So unbecomingly hot! You'd be simply stifled, darling." I caught a darted glance which accompanied the words and which made Ettie recoil into the recesses of her pudding. "But yesterday was so cold, Clara," Mrs. Mallet went on, actually venturing to oppose the infallible authority. "A nipping morning.
"I don't like that creature," Kay said. "I'm afraid of him. Aren't you, Barry?" "Desperately," Barry admitted. "Anyone would be, except Nan, of course." Nan was bicycling straight along the field path, and the bull stood staring at her, his head well down, in readiness, as Gerda saw, to charge. But he did not charge Nan.
What can THAT mean?" "Heaven knows," said Phipps, sitting down wearily. "You'd better infer." "What kind of man?" said Dangle. "How should I know? in bicycling costume, the fellow said." "But what height? What complexion?" "Didn't ask," said Phipps. "DIDN'T ASK! Nonsense," said Dangle. "Ask him yourself," said Phipps.
In this way bicycling has added, methinks, an item to the hurry and breathlessness of existence, and to the difficulty of enjoying the passing hour nay, the passing landscape. I have only once travelled on a bicycle, and, despite pleasant incidents and excellent company, I think it was a mistake; there was an inn to reach, a train to catch, a meal to secure, darkness to race against.
Bernhardt could have rendered wonderfully. It is in attempting a masculine Hamlet that she transcends the imaginable and violates an ideal. It is not thinkable. After you have seen it done, you say, as Mr. Clemens is said to have said of bicycling: "Yes, I have seen it, but it's impossible. It doesn't stand to reason."
But Fortune favors the industrious who watch their chances; and one evening Erebus came bicycling swiftly up to the cats' home, and cried: "As I came over Long Ridge I saw Sir James Morgan poaching old Glazebrook's water!" The Terror did not cease from carefully considering the kitten in his hands, for he was making a selection to send to Rowington market. "Are you sure?" he said calmly.
