Along it a man in a flat-bottomed boat was punting his way towards her. She stood and waited for him, admiring his height, and the long powerful strokes with which he propelled his clumsy craft. He was very tall, and against the flat background his height seemed almost abnormal. As soon as he had attracted her attention he ceased to shout, and devoted all his attention to reaching her quickly.
"And perhaps not so different from the rest of us!" threw out Magin. "What flea bites us? Why do you come here, courting destruction in a cockleshell that may any minute split on a rock and spill you to the sharks, when you might be punting some pretty girl up the backwaters of the Thames?
The red jackets had disappeared from before the Palace-gate: the tradesmen of St. James's were abroad taking their pleasure: the tailors had grown mustaches, and were gone up the Rhine: the bootmakers were at Ems or Baden, blushing when they met their customers at those places of recreation, or punting beside their creditors at the gambling tables: the clergymen of St.
"Miss Kathleen," he pleaded, "I guess I can't make you understand what I'd like to. But if you'll just come punting up the Cher, on Sunday in Eights Week, there are so many things I'd like to tell you." "Yes, I've always wanted to hear about America, and the difference between a Republican and a Democrat." "And you will come?" Kathleen rose, laughing.

It was not unusual for the ball to be passed from player to player after a scrimmage until a touchdown or a field goal was made. "Walter Camp was one of McNair's Yale adversaries. They had many punting duels in the big games at St.
That being all the bargain, we spent the rest of the day as we chose which was not punting against Fra Palamone. He must have made sixty times that amount. Towards evening the Piazza, grew very gay. An opera was given at the theatre, after which the ladies of the place took the air, walking up and down with their gentlemen.
How should you like to be that gudgeon with a hook in your mouth, or the pike when he's caught?" "Sarve him right for killing all the little fishes," growled Dave, punting gently along. "Why did you come fishing?" said Dick sharply. "'Cause I like it," said Tom frankly; "but it's cruel all the same. Oh, look! Look!"
"I regret to state that my education was completed in a Western mining camp." "Will you excuse the liberty, and perhaps Mr. Hare won't listen for a moment? but I will finance you in three banks of a thousand each, either banking or punting, if you promise to take on Bower. I can arrange it easily. I say this because you personally may not care to play for high sums."
So they change back again, and come to the conclusion that the man has given them the wrong set altogether; and over their mutual abuse of this man they become quite friendly and sympathetic. George said he had often longed to take to punting for a change. Punting is not as easy as it looks.
