There was nothing in its situation, its looks, its customs which they would have wished to alter; and when a slight change came, a new house, a pathway on the other side of the green, an iron fence around the graveyard, a golf-links in addition to the tennis-courts, a bridge-whist afternoon to supplement the croquet club, by an unconscious convention its novelty was swiftly eliminated and in a short time it became one of the "old traditions."
Walen's talk put me wise on the location and size of some of the kegs. Ya-as! 'After that, we four went out to look at those golf-links I was hirin'. We each took a club. Mine' he glanced at a great tan bag by the fire-place 'was the beginner's friend the cleek. Well, sir, this golf proposition took a holt of me as quick as quick as death.
Cayley suddenly, sitting unobtrusively in a seat beneath one of the front windows, reading. No reason why he shouldn't be there; certainly a much cooler place than the golf-links on such a day; but somehow there was a deserted air about the house that afternoon, as if all the guests were outside, or perhaps the wisest place of all up in their bedrooms, sleeping. Mr.
"You had no team? How then did you manage to reach home in time to make your way back to Cuthbert Road by half-past eleven?" "I didn't go home. I went straight across the golf-links. If fresh snow hadn't fallen, you would have seen my tracks all the way to Cuthbert Road." "If fresh snow had not fallen, we should have known the whole story of that night before an hour had passed.
I have no quarrel with the happy youth of to-day, but I feel no sense of loss nor spirit of envy when they tell me all young people are my friends when they tell me of golf-links and automobile rides, or even the daring hint of airplanes.
And now we'll go on to Folliot's there's a way to his house round here." Mrs. Folliot was out, Sackville Bonham was still where Bryce had left him, at the golf-links, when the pursuers reached Folliot's. A parlourmaid directed them to the garden; a gardener volunteered the suggestion that his master might be in the old well-house and showed the way.
"It's a thousand miles from anywhere!" muttered Harper. "Nothing to do here!" "No hunting, shooting, fishing?" asked Collingwood. "Get tired of 'em? Well, why not make a private golf-links in your park? You'd get a fine sporting course round there." "That's a good notion, Harper," observed Nesta, with some eagerness. "You could have it laid out this winter." Harper suddenly looked at Collingwood.
Here they would turn and follow the shore-line for a way, then strike inland across the hills for a short half-mile, and regain the city and the street-car lines by way of the golf-links. Condy had insisted upon wearing his bicycle outfit for the occasion, and, moreover, carried a little satchel, which, he said, contained a pair of shoes.
Besides our beach and its bathing, we have a reading-club for the men, evolved from one of the old native houses, and verandaed round for summer use; and we have golf-links and a golf club-house within easy trolley reach. The links are as energetically, if not as generally, frequented as the sands, and the sport finds the favor which attends it everywhere in the decay of tennis.
Topics of engrossing mental interests are bad form on the golf-links, since they leave a disturbing memory in the mind to divert it from that absolute intellectual concentration which the game demands. Therefore Pickings and Booverman, as they started toward the crowded first tee, remarked de rigueur: "Good weather." "A bit of a breeze." "Not strong enough to affect the drives."
