I hope you don't think us silly.... Murray was always a childish person. I hope I am too. The bowling-green gave us a lot of trouble to make; it is nice and flat, isn't it? We trim it with nail-scissors." It was a good bowling-green, about twelve inches by six. There were some marbles on it. "It has historical associations," said the mother of Murray.
"Tut, 't is for bread." The boy's face crimsoned. "I must forget that," said he. "There is an arbour in the garden, under a weeping-ash," returned Burley. "Go there, and fancy yourself in Arcadia." Leonard was too pleased to obey. He found out the little arbour at one end of a deserted bowling-green. All was still, the hedgerow shut out the sight of the inn.
Since they had been at Southwark, Gwynplaine had made it his habit, after the performance and the supper of both family and horses when Ursus and Dea had gone to bed in their respective compartments to breathe a little the fresh air of the bowling-green, between eleven o'clock and midnight. A certain vagrancy in our spirits impels us to take walks at night, and to saunter under the stars.
Hammond also was greatly pleased with this new conveyance when he came down. Various little trial trips were made in this couch, at first only into the front garden, and then into the long strip of bowling-green at the back.
Just as I had made up my mind to it, a family from the Bowling-Green in New York, who was going the same route, politely invited me to join their party. Nothing could be more fortunate. They were highly accomplished. The young ladies sang delightfully; and all contributed their portion to render the tour pleasant and amusing.
He was fond of sport, and his additions show his tastes in this direction; he built a tennis-court, a tilt-yard, on the site of the Horse Guards a bowling-green, and a cockpit. The exact site of the cockpit has long been a matter of uncertainty, but it is now very generally believed that the entrance was just where the present Treasury entrance is.
Charles took her away, scarce knowing where they went, out into the spring sunshine, on the slopes above the turf bowling-green, where the captive King had beguiled his weary hours. Only then would awe and emotion let them speak, though his arm was round her, her hand in his, and his first words were, as he looked at the scarf that still bore up her arm, "And this is what you have borne for me?"
When they had laughed sufficiently at this ludicrous occurrence, the party began to divide themselves into little knots some took possession of the alley, late the scene of combat, and put the field to its proper use of a bowling-ground, and it soon resounded with all the terms of the game, as "run, run-rub, rub hold bias, you infernal trundling timber!" thus making good the saying, that three things are thrown away in a bowling-green, namely, time, money, and oaths.
On one side you look across the bowling-green, behind the house, to a beautiful hanging wood, and on the other you have a view of the church and village, and, beyond them, of those fine bold hills that we have so often admired.
Through an open door at the back of the hall she saw a broad gravel walk, long and straight, leading to a temple or summer-house built of red brick, like the mansion itself. On each side of the broad walk there was a strip of grass, just about wide enough for a bowling-green, and on the grass were orange-trees in big wooden tubs, painted green.
