Romeo had a hockey match on for the following day, which was Saturday, so they were compelled to postpone their investigations until Monday. It seemed very long to wait. "It's no good now, anyhow," said Romeo. "We can't run it until the roads melt and dry up." "That's so," agreed his twin, despondently. "Why did she tell us now? Why couldn't she wait until we had some chance?"
Why pick me out above every one else for that?" "Because you've always been a leader among your schoolmates, Tom, that's why!" he was quickly, told. "You've got it in you to take the lead in every kind of sport known to boys. Baseball, football, hockey, athletics tell me a single thing where you've had to play second fiddle to any other fellow.
The object is to strike a ball, in as few strokes as possible, to a given point; but, after every three strokes, the opponent is allowed to décholer, or make one stroke back, or into a hazard. Here the element of hockey comes in.
A good part of my life I have played tennis and basketball and hockey, and swum, and climbed mountains, and ridden horseback, and rowed, and fished. I do not know what it is to have an ache or a pain from one end of the year to the other.
She and Grange both became regular members of Olga's hockey team. They shared most of their pursuits. Among other things she was learning the accompaniments of his songs. Grange had a well-cultivated tenor voice, to which Daisy the restless would listen for any length of time.
My name is Mister Daniel Parnell Moore, and I have the extraordinary honour of bein' the trainer at this institution o' learnin' and Fine Arts, the Fine Arts bein' athletics, football, baseball, hockey an' tinnis. An' now you know!" "Thank you," said Tom politely. "I hope you didn't mind my asking you." "Not a bit! You may ask me anything you like, Jim."
During the period in which Kut-el-Amara was besieged by the Turks, the British troops had suffered much. The enemy bombarded the town almost every day, but did little damage. The real foe was starvation. At first the British were confident that a relief expedition would soon reach them, and they amused themselves by cricket and hockey and fishing in the river.
We had to argue it in a disjointed fashion, because some of the people wanted to listen to the play, and Miriam takes nines in voices. They had to stop her playing in the 'Macaws' Hockey Club because you could hear what she thought when her shins got mixed up in a scrimmage for half a mile on a still day.
Will you tell the others?" This was excellent news. The Fifth hated the English Language class, which consisted mostly of learning strings of horrible derivations, and to have it cut out for once in favour of hockey was quite an event. Merle walked up the drive smirking with satisfaction.
It's Lady Homartyn's way to expect me to come in not that I'm an important item at these week-end social feasts but she likes to see me on the table to be nibbled at if any one wants to do so like the olives and the salted almonds. And she always asks me to lunch on Sunday and I always refuse because of the hockey. So you see I put in an appearance on the Saturday afternoon...."
