In addition to his big hotels, he built amusement parks for the common people, and art galleries and club-house country inns for the more finicky classes. Even before there was any increase in population, a marked increase in street-railway traffic took place. There was nothing fanciful about his schemes. They were sound investments.
We were glad when they disappeared over a knoll on the horizon. We finally reached the club-house, a simple, unpretentious little building, with wide, open verandas in front, which afforded no shelter from the biting wind.
He, however, gazed impatiently at the club-house door, where a neat pair of ponies awaited him, with servants deftly purveyed by the subtle Ram Lal. His two body servants were also afrites of the same sly Aladdin. His swelling port duly impressed his old friends.
He didn't know whether it was "throw-out" fishing or not, on that river. There used to be a wooden railroad here, and the cars were pulled by mules. It was probably more fun to travel that way, but it took longer. Now they have steel rails and everything that a regular grown-up railroad has. We knew the engineer, for Mr. Cholott had introduced us to him one day, on the club-house wharf.
Some of the golfers were returning to the club-house. They were running as if taking refuge from a shower. Their little caddies trailed behind them. Others were continuing their game. The nurse had turned and was pushing her perambulator hurriedly up the hill again. I noticed that she had her hand to her brow. The cab had stopped and the tired horse, with his head sunk to his knees, was resting.
Carmel received the account well. She started when she heard of the discovery of Ranelagh in the club-house on the entrance of the police, and seemed disposed to ask some questions. But though the nurse gave her an opportunity to do so, she appeared to hunt in vain for the necessary words, and the narrative proceeded without further interruption.
"Love-making isn't going to spoil our golf," he whispered, smiling, as he touched her fingers once more. She looked at him almost shyly. "Is this love-making?" she asked. They walked together from the eighteenth green towards the club-house. A curious silence seemed suddenly to have enveloped them.
Something of the home principle of male and female is necessary for the completeness even of a club. The Hyacinth Club-house looks upon Piccadilly and the Green Park.
Coupled with that was the knowledge that it was now an undiscoverable number of minutes after half-past five. There was a Gladstone bag under his bed. He had brought it back from the Club-house only yesterday, after that game of golf which had been so full of disturbances and wet stockings, but which now wore the shimmering security of peaceful, tranquil days long past.
He says my being there keeps him from concentrating." "Then perhaps it would be better for you to remain in the club-house till we return. There is, I fear, dirty work ahead." A choking sob escaped the unhappy girl. "I'm afraid so. There is an apple tree near the thirteenth hole, and Mitchell's caddie is sure to start eating apples.
