Shepley with me, newly come out of the country, but I was at little liberty to talk to him, but after dinner with two contracts to the Committee, with Lord Bruncker and Sir T. Harvy, and there did deliver them, and promised at their command more, but much against my will. And here Sir R. Brookes did take me alone, and pray me to prevent their trouble, by discovering the order he would have.
Brookes retired, and the young men continued the conversation in their rooms. Willy told Frank all about his shop, Frank told Willy all about his studio, and they went to sleep delighted with each other and at peace with the world. Mr. Brookes had gone when the young men came down next morning.
There is no need to deal at this time with the future of Germany and Austria. Australasia and South Africa, the great colonies of the British Empire, should be on the edge of a great tennis wave. I look to see great players rise in Australasia to refill the gaps left by the passing of Wilding and the retirement of Brookes.
Innes's invitation for the eighth, but Brookes and I are going to take tea with the fakir's monkeys on the top of Jakko tomorrow afternoon. 'Anybody else, or only Brookes? 'Only Brookes. And she thought she had abandoned coquetry! 'Then may I come? 'Indeed you may. 'I really don't know, reflected Madeline, as she caught another glimpse of Mrs.
Brookes replied reflectively, and he was about to rush off into a long financial statement when his sister, who already regretted her joke, checked him with an abrupt question. "My dear James, is this marriage to be or not to be? That is what I want to know." "I really can't say, Mary; Sally has contrived to upset her sister; she would have been, I feel sure, glad to marry Mr.
No less an authority than Norman E. Brookes, whose active playing days cover a period of twenty years, told me during the American Championships, last year at Forest Hills, that in his opinion the game in America had advanced fully "15" in ten years. He stated that he believed the leading players of to-day were the superior of the Larneds, Dohertys, and Pims of the past.
I soon found out that we were not only well fed, but in every other point well treated, and I was very comfortable and happy. Mr Brookes instructed me in the art of labelling and tying up, and in a very short time I was very expert; and as Timothy predicted, the rudiments were once more handed over to him.
"But I know the man. He has turned back." There was a tap at the door and a servant was come to say that Mr. Brookes Ormsby was waiting with his auto-car. Was Miss Brentwood nearly ready? Elinor said, "In a minute," and when the door closed, she made a confidante of her mother for the first time since her childhood days.
The word business had carried the men back to their offices in London, and, quite forgetful of the subject of their bargaining, each strove to obtain an advantage over the other. "Well, let us say two hundred and fifty, that is my last word." "Then, Mr. Brookes, I will not take your daughter." "Willy, make haste, I beg of you; I shall miss my train. It is now exactly half-past nine."
Go out for your shot in singles whenever there is a reasonable chance of getting it. Hit harder at all times in singles than in doubles, for you have more chance of scoring and can take more risk. Few great singles, players are famous in doubles. Notable exceptions to the above statement come to mind at once in the persons of the Dohertys, Norman E. Brookes, and F. B. Alexander.
