Women, too I am not speaking of the occasional champions, but of the average woman, the one with the handicap of 33, who plays in high-heeled shoes are apt to giggle when they foozle out of a perfect lie, and this makes for misogyny. Six of these were negligible, consisting of males of average skill and young women who played golf because it kept them out in the fresh air.
A round game followed tea; which, in its turn, was succeeded by a massive silver tray, chiefly decorated with cold water and tumblers; and as the various independent clocks in the drawing-room began chiming and striking eleven, Mr. Jawleyford thought he would try to get rid of Foozle by asking him if he hadn't better stay all night. 'Yes, I think I'd better stay all night, replied Foozle.
Of course Will had hurried out to where his camera lay long before he would touch a bite of breakfast; he even gave up the early morning dip in his anxiety to learn whether the bait had been jerked, and the camera made to do its duty. By this time Will had become quite expert, so that there was little danger of what Bluff, taking his cue from the golfers, would have called a "foozle."
He is not expected to do anything of the kind. If he should happen to be successful, his partner would know that it was not his usual custom, that he had played beyond himself, and that therefore there was something of the fluke in the stroke after all. He would be much more likely to fail and foozle, and then what a miserable golfer would he be!
"That's just what I find it so hard to do!" confessed young Nisbet. "I'm a stupid sort of lout, you know, Miss Rathbawne. I've never had half a chance to practice talking to dames, and where other lads fuss like experts, I just can't make good. I foozle every stroke. I'm an ass that's all!" "You're nothing of the sort!" said Dorothy indignantly. "You're an extremely attractive young man!"
The sun was nearing the horizon, and from all indications it promised to be just such a day as the one before had proved; which fact delighted Bud immensely. "Because," he explained after giving an exhibition of a Highland Fling to allow some of his pent-up enthusiasm to escape, "this is the day a Morgan is going to win fame or else make the grandest foozle you ever saw."
The denunciation was interrupted by the appearance of Spigot, who came looming up the spacious drawing-room in the full magnificence of black shorts, silk stockings, and buckled pumps, followed by a sheepish-looking, straight-haired, red apple-faced young gentleman, whom he announced as Mr. Robert Foozle.
'Well, I don't see what we can do, said Sigsbee. 'We can hardly be expected to foozle on purpose, just to let Archie show off before his girl. McCay paused in the act of lighting his cigar, as one smitten with a great thought. 'Why not? he said. 'Why not, Sigsbee? Sigsbee, you've hit it. 'Eh? 'You have! I tell you, Sigsbee, you've solved the whole thing.
And you thought you killed the seven-headed dragon yourself.... I don't blame you for the foozle, Steve; I cotton-woolled you all along it was bound to come.
"Wal, Miss Majesty, we've gone an' made a foozle right at the start," he said, dejectedly. "A foozle? But the game has not yet begun," replied Madeline. "A bad start, I mean. It's amazin' bad, an' we're licked already." "What in the world is wrong?" She wanted to laugh, but Stillwell's distress restrained her. "Wal, it's this way. That darn Monty is as cute an' slick as a fox.
