Precisely the sort of chronic, half-tipsy hanger-on one used to see in billiard rooms or eating cloves in West End bars. By association of ideas with the orientalism of Sultana he was called by the girls the Bashibazook. Junior to Miss Ough, the vizier, were four or five other mistresses, all known by nicknames.
Another gives access to a billiard room, below which the Atlantic breaks at a depth of two hundred feet, and whose granite balconies are grazed by the breasts of ascending sea birds. Both these houses, which would constantly suggest to me, when I stayed in them, the celebrated words of Keats: Magic casements opening on the foam Of perilous seas in faery lands forlorn,
It seems they live to a great age; a guardian of the Palace at Fontainebleau always shows one to tourists, who is supposed to have been fed by the Emperor Napoleon. Those of Pinon knew all about it, lifting their brown heads out of the water and never missing their piece of bread. We went back to the drawing-room for coffee, passing through the billiard room, where there are some good pictures.
Mary wished it was a little less like clockwork. Since Lady Maulevrier had been lying upstairs the voice which had once ruled over the house muffled almost to dumbness the monotony of life at Fellside had seemed all the more oppressive. The servants crept about with stealthier tread. Mary dared not touch either piano or billiard balls, and was naturally seized with a longing to touch both.
This is the sole difference between one instance, from which we can never receive the idea of connexion, and a number of similar instances, by which it is suggested. The first time a man saw the communication of motion by impulse, as by the shock of two billiard balls, he could not pronounce that the one event was connected: but only that it was conjoined with the other.
"After all, we have only the shooting of a billiard player." M. Paul shook his head and replied impressively: "The billiard player was a pawn in the game. He became troublesome and was sacrificed. He is of no importance, but there's a greater game than billiards here with a master player and I'm going to be in it." "Why do you think it's a great game?" questioned the judge.
John Roberts, the finest billiard player the world has ever seen, was born at Ardwick, Manchester.
A man who abandons himself to his whims and fancies is like a child playing with a billiard cue. It may make a stroke that would be an honour to the most practised and scientific player; and such are the strange coincidences of life which, as I have said, have caused me to become superstitious.
If I gave up school I should find it easy enough, but I don't want to do that." "No, I hope you won't; I should miss you, and so would all the boys." "Including Randolph Duncan?" "I don't know about that. By the way, I hear that Randolph is spending a good deal of his time at Tony Denton's billiard saloon." "I am sorry to hear it. It hasn't a very good reputation."
Here are men playing checkers, dominoes, and other games. Other groups are standing around the folding billiard tables. A hundred men have taken out books from the circulating library, while others are scanning the home papers and the latest news from the front. Our secretaries have been on the ground for a week, working daily from five o'clock in the morning until midnight.
