Shake one for me till it froths all the way up the glass, please, and then give me a cigarette." Nigel obeyed orders, helped himself, and glanced at the clock as Brookes left the room. "How nice of you to come half an hour early, Maggie!" he remarked. She made a little grimace. "The first time you have noticed it," she said dolefully.
Brookes, whom the prospect of losing seven thousand a year had suddenly cooled. "My daughter will have my children, I should say will have my fortune divided amongst them at my death, and when we come to go into figures you will find " "But in the meantime, what do you propose to settle on her?" Mr. Brookes hesitated. He was angry at being pressed.
Brookes and Wilding led the way by first meeting the ball as it came off the ground. Yet neither of these two wizards of the court successfully handled M'Loughlin's service as did Williams and Johnston.
It is the game of Australia as typified by Patterson schooled under the Brookes tutelage. It is the game of France, played by Gobert, Laurentz, and Brugnon. It has spread to South Africa, and is used by Winslow, Norton, and Raymond. Japan sees its possibilities, and Kumagae and Shimidzu are even now learning the net attack to combine with the baseline game.
Brookes did not offer the assistance of his arm, and had he, Frank would certainly not have accepted it. Holding the door, the old man waited for his visitor to pass out. "Southdown Road or the heir to a peerage: it is all the same, my money is what is wanted the money I had made myself," thought Mr. Brookes.
My dear, THINK of it after all I've been through, my darling Val and one hundred thousand pounds! 'Well? 'Well I stayed behind there last night, and Val came on here and made the necessary arrangement, and 'Yes? 'And we were married this morning. Good heavens! What's the matter with you! Here oh, Brookes! Water, salts anything!
The gladness he felt that Maggie was truly not engaged to this fellow quickened and dominated his regret that the girls were inclined to behave so indiscreetly. The moment Mr. Brookes turned his back it began that perpetual going and coming of men it really wasn't right. Sally was a coarser nature, but Maggie! He might speak to Mr. Brookes; no, that wouldn't do.
Queed, how much your intellect, your culture, your admirable ah poise amazing they seem to me in so young a man have appealed to me among a population of Brookes, Bylashes, and Klinkers? You are the first man in many a day that has inspired me with an impulse toward friendship and confidence. It would be a real kindness if you'd come in sometimes of an evening."
Brookes resumed his walk on the tennis ground with Berkins, and stopping frequently to point to his glass-houses, he described his misfortunes with profuse waves of his stick. Frank had found Maggie, and they now walked together in the shade and silence of the sycamores he, vehement and despairing of the future; she, subtle and strangely confident that things would happen as she wished them.
He made a desperate effort at recovery, but failed, and the game was mine: 3-all. It proved the turning-point in the match, for it not only tired Brookes, but it forced him to hang back a little from the net so as to protect his overhead, so that his net attack weakened opportunely, and I was able to nose out the match in 4 sets.
