In fact, she was quite alone with a lady-in-waiting, who lost her head, and was completely unable to offer any assistance when the mishap occurred. The emperor also discovered that on the previous day the princess had, without any escort whatsoever, skated alone all the way from Potsdam to Brandenburg and back, a remarkable feat, calling for much endurance and attended by no little danger.
It was almost, if not quite, May Blossom's first attempt at skating, and, although she was doing very well, her company was not in such demand as that of Inza. Seeing May alone, Frank immediately skated to her side, and he was soon doing his best to instruct her in the correct handling of her feet.
"Now," said Peter, drawing near Hans, both skimming the ice so easily and lightly as they skated on together that they seemed scarcely conscious of moving. "We are going to stop at Leyden, and if you are going there only with a message to Dr. Boekman, cannot I do the errand for you?
She had been frightened to hear of his wound, but his convalescence had made her happy again. She hoped that it would not leave him with a stiff leg, but even if it did it would not matter so much, as he neither danced nor skated. What a dreary winter they were having in Berlin!
Wade talked of these things in the liveliest strain, Lilian responding with a lighthearted freedom seldom possible to her. "You skated here, didn't you?" said her companion, as they drew near to the large pond. "Yes; a day or two after we came. How different it looks now." They stood on the bank where it rose to a considerable height above the water. "The rails have spoilt this spot," said Mrs.
The two married couples skated well, but Harold, and especially Herbert, far exceeded them, the swift, easy movement with which they glided over the glassy surface of the lake, the exact balancing of their bodies, and the graceful curves they executed called forth many an admiring and delighted exclamation from the onlookers, both near at hand and farther away at the windows of the mansion.
Meg and Bobby skated back to them now and then to see that they were all right, and Bobby took off his skates once to try the slide while Twaddles tried to use the skates. They were too large for him, and a fall on the ice dulled his interest. He decided he would rather slide. "They're going to have a big bonfire to-night," reported Bobby, on one of his trips back to the twins.
"He swung the sail the wrong way." And then he ran off as advised. "Such meanness!" snorted Pepper. "And Coulter may be drowned!" "Ritter was always willing to lay the blame on somebody else," added Andy. The chums skated as closely as possible to where the iceboat was drifting in a sheet of open water a spot where some days before a farmer had been cutting ice.
Usually the ice was not thick enough to have a fire built on it; and it must have been on ice which was just strong enough to bear that my boy skated all one bitter afternoon at Old River, without a fire to warm by. At first his feet were very cold, and then they gradually felt less cold, and at last he did not feel them at all. He thought this very nice, and he told one of the big boys.
"Leave her in the skating house and come on," he called. "Red's got it and we're having heaps of fun." Skinny Mosher and Perry Alford came, both in pursuit of the fleet-footed Brown. "Let's see her skate," he sneered, knowing that Louise dared not release her escort for pursuit. "You're a fine teacher, you are. Don't you wish you were with us?" John's eyes followed him longingly as he skated off.
