Fifteen yards in front of each goal is drawn a line 4 yards long, parallel to the goal line; the ends of this line are brought round in curves to meet the goal line and the space thus inclosed is called the "striking circle." The stick and balls are the main requisites of hockey. The sticks are made of hickory.
The Squire, who held his latest bird's-egg in his hand, was showing its spots to the Rector. In a corner by a harmonium, on which no one ever played, Norah talked of the village hockey club to Mrs. Barter, who sat with her eyes fixed on her husband.
It was utterly in vain that Brother Simmons and his whole following pointed out unitedly and successively the utter impossibility and absurdity of the proposal which was unconstitutional and without precedent. The hockey team had the company with them and with the bit in their teeth swept all before them. At this point, McNish displayed the master-hand that comes from long experience.
"I wanted him to get up a hockey match against No. 3 Double Company to-day. He used to be very keen on playing with the men; but since he came back from England he never goes near them. Where is he? Poodlefaking at the Residency, as usual?" This is the term contemptuously applied in India to the paying of calls and other social duties that imply dancing attendance on the fair sex.

The first Saturday I can arrange, we'll run down to some little place on the coast, and get some sea air.
While the boys played hockey at the upper end of the Parade, the girls raced 'way to Willow Street and back again. Best two out of three trials it was, and the first trial was won by Agnes and she did it easily! "Why! you've beaten Trix," Eva Larry cried to Agnes. "However did you do it? She always beats us skating." "Oh, I broke a strap," announced Trix, quickly.
She hurried it away before I could even see the name printed on the wrapper." "Perhaps," said Thad a bit wistfully, "you might bequeath me your old skates in case you do get new ones. Mine are not half as good for hockey.
And then in the midst of all her busyness, just when she thought herself quite indispensable to the school play, the hockey team, and her Patrol, she fell ill with measles.
What with your committee and Effie teaching those Belgian refugee children to play hockey and me at the canteen for ineligible shop assistants." "I know, my dear. Still, it would be so nice to have something here just to bring people together, as it were, in a cosy way."
Snapped both bones, he says, just above the ankle, and a fine time I've got ahead of me this winter, with no skating, hockey, or anything worth living for. But then it might have been worse, because my neck is worth more to me than my ankle. But now I do hope you can get me home. I never wanted to see home and mother one-half as much as now."
