'No Foozles be hanged, sneered Jawleyford; 'they always come the Blossomnoses! replied he, with an emphasis. 'The Blossomnoses! exclaimed both girls, clasping their hands and looking up at the ceiling. 'What, all of them? asked Emily. 'All of them, rejoined Jawleyford. 'Why, that's four, observed Emily.
I don't believe I was ever in a better humour than on this gay November morn. I even apologised for Mr. Titus's execrable foozles; I amiably suggested that he was a little off his game and that he'd soon strike his gait and give me a sound beating after the turn. His smile was polite but ironic, and it was not long before I realised that he knew his own game too well to be affected by cajolery.
They are subject to reproof, to ill temper, to petty exactions and stupid tyrannies not seldom. They scheme, conspire, fawn, and are hypocrites. "Little boys should not loll on chairs." "Little girls should be seen, and not heard;" and so forth. Have we not almost all learnt these expressions of old foozles: and uttered them ourselves when in the square-toed state?
I asked, seeing that there was no arguing with the man "driving, approaching, or putting?" "None of the three. He cannot put, he foozles every drive, and at approaching he's a consummate ass," said Boswell. "Then what can he do?" I cried. "Count," said Boswell. "Haven't you learned that yet? You can spend hours learning how to drive, weeks to approach, and months to put.
First came Jawleyford, in a terrible stew. 'Well, this is too bad! exclaimed he, stamping and flourishing a scented note, with a crest and initials at the top. 'This is too bad, repeated he; 'people accepting invitations, and then crying off at the last moment. 'Who is it can't come, papa the Foozles? asked Emily.
In the first place, if he has seen the other three make really good drives, he is too much tempted to try to beat them all, and the usual result of such temptation is a bad stroke. On the other hand, if he has seen two or three foozles, it is quite possible that he will follow the bad example that has been set him.
"Let me tell you something," declared Harding. "I only took up this golf business a few weeks ago, and by hard work have found out about mashies, hooks, foozles, cops, one off two and all those difficult things, but I'm blamed if I ever heard of trifoliums, or whatever you call 'em, and you can't ring 'em in on me. I won't stand for it! We don't play trifoliums in Woodvale, do we, Smith?"
I believe, if I had smiled then, he would have attacked me without hesitation. There is a type of golfer who really almost ceases to be human under stress of the wild agony of a series of foozles. The sixth hole involves the player in a somewhat tricky piece of cross-country work, owing to the fact that there is a nasty ditch to be negotiated some fifty yards from the green.
