Being kept in on Saturday meant that he would be unable to turn out for Little Borlock against Claythorpe, the return match. In the previous game he had scored ninety-eight, and there was a lob bowler in the Claythorpe ranks whom he was particularly anxious to meet again.
These boats the "San-pan," or boat of this country are used expressly for the conveyance of passengers and their effects, and are kept scrupulously clean for that purpose. They pull from three to six oars, according to their size. Passed two Pagodas, each of nine stories, and made a romantic cut-off, via Lob Creek.
That horses foddered on Lingborough hay would have thrice the strength of others, and that sheep who cropped Lingborough pastures would grow three times as fat. That for as good a watchdog as it was, the sheep dog never barked at Lob, a plain proof that he was more than human. That for all its good luck it was not safe to loiter near the place after dark, if you wished to keep your senses.
It does best for 'kids. A little boy can sneak behind a 'toff' and relieve him of his 'wipe' as easily as possible. I know a little fellow who used to make seven 'bob' a-day at it on the average; but there were more silk 'wipes' used then than there are now." Boys. "What do you mean by 'lob-sneaking, and 'Peter-screwing?" "Why, 'lob' means the till, and 'Peter' means a safe.
Kingscote again lobbed in return, but this time short, and Johnston killed it. Johnston ran out the game in the next two points.

Keeping your head down will also help you from getting flurried or put off, however "jumpy" the opposing man is, or however much he is running across. You can always have a mental vision of him to tell you where he is without looking at him. To play a mixed double you must be able to lob. It is really the most necessary stroke to cultivate.
It's on the sea bottom fifty fathoms down, five miles magnetic north-north-east from Cape Farnell! You can check that! The cruiser's down there to lob a fusion bomb into your space-fleet when it starts to take off for the flight you're planning to get all the important men on Kandar in one smash! That's Talents, Incorporated information! It's a free sample.
But the dealer in lobs knows that the man who leaves his citadel, leaves it, sooner or later, not to return. In the hope that Scaife, intoxicated with triumph, will run out again, he pitches the next lob too much up a half-volley. Scaife smiles. John's prediction has been fulfilled. A record has been established.
Now, there's a topping place about ten traverses away. You can lob them over from there beautifully. Come along." And with fair words and honeyed phrases he elbows the dispirited band to a position for his platoon of comparative inoffensiveness.
