About everybody in Millionaire Row had boathouses on the lake and most of them had these gasoline boats you could hear them sput-sputting round out there evenings almost any bright day. Her pa didn't like her to go out on the lake very much; being from Wyoming he was scared of water especial so much of it.
How could I foresee that out there, in those far-off dancing waters, there was that awaiting me of which I can only think now, when it is long past, with fear and horror? I had known for some time that Sir Gilbert Carstairs had a small yacht lying at one of the boathouses on the riverside; indeed, I had seen her before ever I saw him.
If Opportunity came that near to Georgina's door he knew several ways of inducing it to knock. So he went off smiling to himself. New Friends and the Green Stairs The town filled up with artists earlier than usual that summer. Stable lofts and old boathouses along the shore blossomed into studios.
Along the crescent of the sands, above on the bluffs, were set the homes of the summer residents those whom Gusty Durgin, the waitress at the hotel, termed "the big bugs." On the farthest point visible in this direction was a sprawling, ornate villa with private dock and boathouses, and a small breakwater behind which floated a fleet of small craft.
"We are gentlemen's sons," added Ham, drawing himself up proudly. "Say, do gentlemen's sons blow up boathouses?" asked Kiddy Leech, in a low but distinct tone. At this question consternation seemed to seize both Ham Spink and Carl Dudder, and their faces grew pale as they stared at the tramp. "Wha what's that?" stammered Ham, faintly. "I asked you if gentlemen's sons blew up boathouses."
"Steady all!" called Allen, for the girls were moving about, and he needed less motion in order to handle the boat easily. They were proceeding along at a fast pace when, from behind one of the boathouses along the shore of the frozen river, there shot out a small ice craft, containing two persons.
Later he superintended the grading of the lawns, the laying out of tennis courts, and the building of garages, boathouses, and bathhouses. By this time Mr. Crowninshield would willingly have trusted him with every farthing he possessed so complete was his confidence in his man Friday. Jerry, however, was modest. He declared he had only done his duty and insisted that it go at that.
Something scraped alongside a yacht, moored in the channel. He turned to the right and presently was gratified to find himself in quieter water. A moment later he was safely within the inner channel that followed the park embankment and led east past private boathouses.
Crosbyside is the ideal of a summer retreat, nestled in foliage on a pretty point, with its great trees on a sloping lawn, boathouses and innumerable row and sail boats, and a lovely view, over the blue waters, of a fine range of hills.
The club has two excellent boathouses and plenty of boats, and is composed of the finest material possible, all the best men in Shanghai, as is ever the case elsewhere, going in for rowing at one time or another; but the rowing is not first-class, and unless things have greatly changed since I was an active member, a crew capable of sitting a light cedar ship could not be mustered, all the racing being done in clinker boats.
