A bye brought Henfrey to the batting end again, and de Freece's pet googly, which had not been much in evidence hitherto, led to his snicking an easy catch into short-slip's hands. A hundred and twenty-seven for seven against a total of a hundred and sixty-six gives the impression that the batting side has the advantage.
What sort of words did he think of? The thing couldn't he "aeroplane" or "telephone" or "googly," because these weren't invented in his time. That gives us three words less. Nor, probably, would it be anything to eat; a Prime Minister would hardly discuss such subjects with his Sovereign. I have no doubt that after hours of immense labour you will triumphantly suggest "rateably."
It hardly seemed that the innings had begun, when Morris was seen to leave the crease, and make for the pavilion. "It's that googly man," said Burgess blankly. "What's happened?" shouted a voice from the interior of the first eleven room. "Morris is out." "Good gracious! How?" asked Ellerby, emerging from the room with one pad on his leg and the other in his hand. "L.-b.-w. First ball." "My aunt!
"I don't like that Lord Googly-Goo," remarked Trot as she was busily eating. "Nor I," said Cap'n Bill. "But from the talk we heard I guess the gardener's boy won't get the Princess." "Perhaps not," returned the girl; "but I hope old Googly doesn't get her, either." "The King means to sell her for all those jewels," observed Button-Bright, his mouth half full of cake and jam.
"I should say not!" replied Trot. "Pon may not be much good, but old Googly is very, very bad. Hunt around, and I'm sure you'll find someone worth your love. You're very pretty, you know, and almost anyone ought to love you." "You don't understand, my dear," said Gloria, as she wiped the tears from her eyes with a dainty lace handkerchief bordered with pearls.
There were still five minutes, and I rolled down a very fast googly which beat her entirely and went straight for the door. Under the old rules she would have gone to bed at once. Alas, that "Look out," I said as she went after it, "there's somebody coming in." Somebody came in. She smiled ruefully at us and then took Betty's hand.
He had not been an actor long, for loss of form had put him out of first-class cricket, and the impresario had given his place in the next piece to a googly bowler who had done well in the last Varsity match; but he had been one long enough to experience that sinking sensation which is known as stage-fright.
Ducat and Hayward made a capital stand considering the stickiness of the wicket, until Ducat was bowled by a good length off-break and Hayward caught at second slip off a googly. Then Harrison and Sandham played out time." Mr. Crocker breathed heavily through his nose. "Yes!" he said. "Yes! I had an idea that was it. But I think I'd like to have it once again, slowly. Start with these figures.
