"I don't sell things that ain't good! I'm an honest man!" Roger reached inside his jersey and pulled out a small roll of crumpled credit notes. He counted off one hundred and handed them over to Shinny. "When do I get the papers?" asked Roger. "Tomorrow, same place, same time," answered Shinny. "What's the name of this place?" asked Roger. "Café Cosmos."
Sopwith who built the machine and bore the expenses of the flight nor Mr. Hawker attached any blame to the engine. At a dinner of the Aero Club, given in 1914, Mr. Sopwith was most enthusiastic in discussing the merits of the "Green", and after Harry Hawker had recovered from the effects of his fall in Lough Shinny he remarked in reference to the engine: "It is the best I have ever met.
Roger glided the jet boat to a smooth stop on the night side of the planetoid. "How much longer before the reactor units go up?" asked Shinny. Connel turned, thinking he had heard something on the communicators, then answered Shinny's question. "Only four hours," he said. The crew of spacemen climbed out of the jet boat into the still blackness of the night side of the planet.

"We wint to th' pond together, an' passed th' time iv day with our frinds an' watched th' boys an' girls playin' shinny an' sky-larkin' hand in hand. They come separate, Jawn; but they go home together, thim young wans.
Now, so thickly was it built with neat white houses, that only with strenuous clairvoyance could famous old localities be identified: the ball-ground; the marshy stretch that made skating in winter, or, in spring, a fascinating place to catch cold by wading; the grassy common where "shinny" was played by day and "Yellow Horn" by night; the enchanted spot where the circus built airy castles of canvas, and where, on the day after, one might plant one's feet squarely in the magic ring, on the veritable spot, perchance, where the clown had superhumanly ridden the difficult trick-mule after local volunteers had failed so entertainingly.
"What would you want done?" asked Shinny slyly. "Well," said Roger casually, "I could use a set of papers." "What happened to your own?" "Solar Guard picked them up," answered Roger simply. "For what?" asked Shinny. "Taking ice cream away from the skipper's pet monkey!" snapped Roger. Shinny threw back his head and laughed. "That's good very good!"
Her confusion was increased by the tactless comment of the operator who, seeing her "full view" for the first time, exclaimed: "Lawsy, Missie, you couldn't shinny up no wall. You is too fat." Many suggestions were forthcoming, all of them impractical, and the already frayed nerves of the passengers began to show evidence of reaching the snapping point.
He was a crackin' good shinny player, and he could lead them cotillion-dances blowin' a whistle and callin', 'All right, Up! or something, like a car-starter, but, 'Tell me something good about him, I says to an old friend of his family.
"Ten of them, sir, besides the minister's son, who is going to take the full university course." "And all of them bound for the ministry?" "So they say. And judging by the way they take life, and the way, for instance, they play shinny, I have a notion they will see it through." "They come of a race that sees things through," answered the professor.
"Hey, Link," came Monty's voice booming over the links, "our esteemed rivals are playin' shinny." Madeline and Dorothy gave up, presently, when the game became a rout, and they sat down with their followers to watch the fun.
