They were kids once, though they seem to have forgotten it. Try to learn from them." It was the first time the candidates had been taken upon the regular diamond of Grant Field.

I've seen her bite a young fellow's head off when he tried to make a grand-stand play with her by quoting her poems which he'd found in his sister's book-shelf." "But, in the name of goodness, what has all this to do with young Crocker?" "Why, it was this way. They sent this Crocker boy to get an interview from her, all about her methods of work and inspirations and what not.
Ormsby's eyes darkened, and he did not affect to misunderstand. "It would be a grand-stand play," he said half-musingly, "if you should happen to worry it through, I mean.

David Kent's smile showed his teeth.
Mangles, pointing down to the lawn with his umbrella, "is the turf. This is the grand-stand." "The whole," stated Miss Mangles, rather sadly, and indicating with a graceful wave of her card, which was in Russian and therefore illegible to her, the scene in general, "the whole constitutes the turf."
A boy in a blue serge suit sat on the second tier of seats of an otherwise empty grand-stand and, with his straw hat pulled well over his eyes, watched the progress of a horse-drawn mower about a field.
