He was the only man who could make pancakes fast enough to feed the crew. He had Big Ole, the blacksmith, make him a griddle that was so big you couldn't see across it when the steam was thick. The batter, stirred in drums like concrete mixers was poured on with cranes and spouts. The griddle was greased by colored boys who skated over the surface with hams tied to their feet.
And so there were only left the two men on the ice. For a little the lesson went on, and presently, leaving the doctor to practise, Mr Beveridge skated away by himself. He first paused opposite a seat on the bank over which hung Dr Escott’s great fur coat. This spectacle appeared to afford him peculiar pleasure. Then he looked at his watch. It was half-past four.
So presently the two young men were rushing down the winding, snowy road which led through pasture and meadow for a quarter of a mile toward a beckoning bonfire. "I don't know when I've gone skating," said Hugh Benson. "The last time I skated was two years ago on the Neva at St. Petersburg. Jove! but it was a carnival!"
Taking a run, he dashed down the steps in his skates, crashing and bounding up and down. He flew down, and without even changing the position of his hands, skated away over the ice. "Ah, that's a new trick!" said Levin, and he promptly ran up to the top to do this new trick. "Don't break your neck! it needs practice!" Nikolay Shtcherbatsky shouted after him.
At the same moment he loosed his grip of the sword, and the weapon, impelled by the force his arm had given it, flew from his hand, and falling upon the slippery ice skated along for many yards, making a noise like the chirping of a vast flock of finches. Kenric stepped back yet further and stood ready to meet the wolf, and, if need were, grapple with it.
She had had enough of skating for one morning David returned to join the others; for this was not the last of the day's adventures and Julia Crosby, before sunset, was to repent of her cruelty to Anne. In the meantime Grace and Tom had skated up to the far end of the pond. "Well, Grace," said Tom, "how has the world been using you?
"My pretend Ward was lovely; he liked me to pieces, but he never came right out and said so. He he skated around the subject " Billy Louise illustrated the skating process by drawing her forefinger in a wide circle around her cup. "He made love with his eyes and he kissed me with his voice but he never spoiled it with words." Ward grunted a word that sounded like "damchump."
In January they skated down Lake George, passed Ticonderoga, hid themselves by the forest-road between that post and Crown Point, intercepted two sledges loaded with provisions, and carried the drivers to Fort William Henry.
Together with two intimate friends and schoolfellows, the girls were commonly known as the "Buds," and they, with half a dozen boys, were called the "Bunch" throughout the town. They admitted no outsider to their circle. They danced together at parties, boated, picniced, skated, sometimes worked together.
The first few miles of the route were on the ice over places well-known to all, as in their frequent outings they had gone in this direction. It was well-known to Alec, for it was along this very way that he had skated so rapidly after leaving the river, with the howling wolves behind him.
