I was in real need of having my spirits curbed, so I ventured to inquire after a phase of the game that has always dampened my ardor in the past the caddie service. I did not expect that this could attain perfection even in Olympus, and I was not far wrong. "You must have pretty lively caddies," I threw out. Adonis sighed. "You'd think so, but that's where we are always in trouble.
I found the others all in a bunch, and Babe tearing around the links all by herself, with her poor caddie trotting hard to keep up with her." "Who's that? Babe?" Allyn had suddenly plunged into the midst of the group. "I hear that the caddies are talking of a boycott, charging her double fees unless she goes slow.
The water hazards, four in number, were nothing more nor less than huge tanks of Burgundy, champagne, iced tea, and Scotch which I subsequently learned often resulted in a bad caddie service and an open brook along whose dashing descent a constant stream of shandygaff went merrily bubbling onward to an in-door sea upon which Jupiter exercised his yacht when sailing was the thing to suit his immediate whim.
Three or four times he makes a stab at breakin' in and urgin' the fountain pen on Dowd, but he don't have any success. Dowd is in full swing, describin' his new theory of how all the great golfers who have passed on come back and reincarnate themselves once more; sometimes pickin' out a promisin' caddie, as in the case of Ouimet, or now and again a hopeless duffer, same as he was himself.
She helped herself, and played her shot. "I couldn't think," she said, firmly, "of paying the full price to a caddie who doesn't know what a mashie is." "I will be thankful," he murmured, "for whatever you may give me even if it should be that carnation you are wearing." She shook her head. "It is worth more than tenpence," she said.
He wandered into the oldest parts of Edinburgh, and Scott obtained for him the services of a friendly caddie to accompany him on some of these occasions lest the old parson should come to any harm. Lockhart, who was of the party in Castle Street, was very attentive to Scott's visitor, Crabbe had but few opportunities of seeing Scott alone.
And now the clock, obeying its north face, struck eight. Before the last stroke had sounded the girl was made aware of the betraying light. She whirled out of Rackby's arms and ran toward Sam Dreed. The big viking stood with his feet planted well apart, and a mistrustful finger in his beard. "Touch and go!" cried Caddie Sills, falling on his neck. "Do we go at the top of the tide, mister?"
"Come, Harbor Master," he said; "put your thumb mark in the corner along with the rest of us." Rackby drew back. "Why should I dance?" he muttered. He was town clerk as well as harbor master a scholarly man with visionary, pale eyes, and a great solitary, as Peter knew. "Why? I'll tell you why," said Peter. "To bring joy to Caddie Sill's heart, if nothing more.
In my last excursion to Edinburgh, I was fortunate enough to discover an old caddie, from whom, at the expense of a bottle of whisky and half a pound of tobacco, I extracted the important information, that he knew Peter Peebles very well, and had drunk many a mutchkin with him in Caddie Fraser's time.
But the golfer replied, "No, my boy, not to-day, thanks; I will carry them myself." The golfer missed his drive, foozled his second, put his third into a bunker, and endured other agonies. The caddie had been following at a respectful distance, and when the ball had been duly picked up out of the bunker, he made a further appeal. "I will carry for ninepence, sir."
