A poor enough Sunday, I suppose, in the minds of those of you who spend yours golfing at the club, or motoring along grease-soaked roads that lead to a shore dinner and a ukulele band. But it turned Fanny Brandeis back a dozen years or more, so that she was again the little girl whose heart had ached at sight of the pale rose and, orange of the Wisconsin winter sunsets.
They spoke of Bert's mother, and of Boston, and Dorothy asked Nancy if she liked tennis or golfing or yachting? There was to be quite a large dance at the club to-night, and an entertainment before it. "Isn't Dorothy a wonder, Mrs. Bradley?" asked Elaine. "She's going to have twenty people to dinner, she runs this big house, she's got a baby not yet six months old, and she looks about sixteen!"
Golf is bad enough. Oh, what's the use," he sighed heavily. "Been golfing, Crosby?" smiled the Countess. "Oh, call it that if you like," he growled. "Rotten game, that. Doctor's orders. A hundred and ten to-day. Couldn't hit the earth even and there were acres of it." "Living up to your reputation, Crosby," sneered Carol Gouverneur. "Sans putt et sans approach?" "You've struck it, young man.
Curiously enough, it was not only the public who persisted in giving him the credit, but the victims of my ingenuity as well, and the mistake was destined to bring peril to both of us in a most unexpected manner. I was at breakfast one morning about a week after our little golfing holiday, when Quarles telephoned for me to go to him at once.
It is one of the glorious advantages of golf that all, the skilled and the unskilled, can revel in its fascinations and mysteries; but there is no golfing delight so splendid as that which is obtained from playing the perfect game, or one which nearly approaches it.
The cost of equipment must be added to the estimate, but this need not be very great as Ski-ing boots and gloves are the only items which cannot usually be used at home by men trousers or breeches being an additional cost for women. People sometimes complain that a Swiss winter holiday is very costly, but I believe it can compare favourably with a golfing holiday at home.
"I have been to busy wasting time to collect anything but fleeting memories. Too much polo, swimming, yachting, golfing I have fallen into evil ways. I think your example may reform me. You must dine with me at my club some day, and give me some hints about making such wonderful purchases."
How dared Garth behave in that way? People would think there was something unusual about her gown. She felt a wild impulse to stoop and look at it herself to see whether his kiss had materialised and was hanging like a star to the silken hem. Then she forced herself to calmness and answered rather brusquely: "I am not golfing to-morrow; but you could not do better than go to the links.
I may say at once, in reply to a question that I am often asked, and which perhaps my present readers may themselves be inclined to put, that I have never in my life taken a single golfing lesson from anyone, and that whatever style I may possess is purely the result of watching others play and copying them when I thought they made a stroke in a particularly easy and satisfactory manner.
Andrews, at a jolly, golfing sort of hotel where I ought to have been as happy as the day was long. "As S. has not joined you prefer stop on here. Eyes not well yet. Mr. Bennett's sister has influenza. She would prefer Maud and Fred visit Round House later say toward end of next week." I had no faith in that attack of influenza.
