So I went and bowled to him for an hour, and the result was that he called a house meeting, and I was put into the eleven." "You will be in the school eleven next year, you see." "I don't know," replied Buller; "it depends on how I get on, you know. I might make a regular mull of it." "Bosh! not you; you have gone on improving too steadily for that," said Penryhn confidently.
"Old Algebra," as a mathematical genius, whose real name was Smith, was called, skated very well too. "Look here, Algebra," cried Penryhn, "I am trying to show Buller how to do the outside edge; can't you give him a scientific wrinkle?"
"Findings, keepings," responded Simmonds. "Let's look," said Penryhn. "Why, that is Buller's knife!" "Ah, ah! how do you know that?" "Why, it has a punch in it; he lent it me to punch a hole in my strap when we got home from skating one day. It has his name engraved upon it somewhere; there it is, look, on that plate `T. Buller'."
So he did not try fast bowling, except now and then when he attempted to put in a shooter, but concentrated his attention principally upon placing his ball, or on pitching it to leg with an inward twist towards the wicket. He constantly failed; sent easy ones which were hit about to the peril of neighbouring players; cut Penryhn over once on the knee-cap and once on the ankle.
So, when Crawley observed: "There's a beautiful bit of smooth ice under here. I say, you two, Penryhn and Simmonds, suppose you take those brooms and clear a bit of it." Penryhn and Simmonds acted on the suggestion. After clearing some twenty square yards of beautiful black ice, Simmonds turned up something hard, which he picked up and invoked Jupiter. "What is it?" asked Penryhn.
It was like simple walking to him; you get up and walk, you could not show any one exactly how to walk. But there were two or three other fair skaters from whom more could be learned; Penryhn, for example, was a very decent performer of simple figures. He came from a northern county, where there was yearly opportunity of practice, and had been taught by his father, who was an excellent skater.
He at once looked about for someone else to bowl for, and found his particular chum, Penryhn, who, after fagging out through the heat of the day, had gone to the wicket with the sun in his eyes, and been clean bowled the first ball. "Will you really bowl for me?" he said eagerly in reply to Buller's offer. "What a good fellow you are!" "Why? for doing what I want?
"Oh, I have confidence enough!" said Buller; "it's the power of getting on to the edge without overbalancing myself that I want, and all that rot about the laws of gravity won't help me." "I fancied they wouldn't, but Penryhn asked for a scientific wrinkle.
Of Bangor Castle, as it originally stood, but insignificant traces remain, but Lord Penrhyn has recently erected in the neighborhood the imposing castle of Penryhn, a massive pile of dark limestone, in which the endeavor is made to combine a Norman feudal castle with a modern dwelling, though with only indifferent success, excepting in the expenditure involved.
Left foot look over left shoulder. There, you did not fall then. Trust to the centrifugal force, that's the thing," and he swept away with a long easy roll. "A capital coach he would make," said Penryhn, admiringly. "He always tells you just what you want to know without bothering."
