Lady Jocelyn, herself in slimmer days a spirited horsewoman, had correctly estimated Mr. George's pluck. He was captured by Harry and Evan close on the leap, in the act of shaking his head at it; and many who inspected the leap would have deemed it a sign that wisdom weighted the head that would shake long at it; for it consisted of a post and rails, with a double ditch.

My chances of making the Varsity were getting slimmer. Very few practice days were left before the men would be selected for the final game. I was making the last earnest stand. The varsity line men were not opening up the scrub line as easily as they desired, and we were all stopping up the offensive play of the Varsity.
"Ten minutes." He smiled, indulgent Elise was looking handsomer than ever. The light November chill had whipped a thin flush into her face.

Five minutes later the brothers sat under the shadow of oaks and beeches at the edge of a little tarn set in fine foliage. "Pleasant to see you," said Martin. "And looking younger I do think. It's the open air. I'll wager you don't get slimmer in the waist-belt though."
She had spoiled them by wearing shoes to make them look smaller and slimmer than they were. In steady weather she was plaintive; in changeable weather she varied between irritable and violent. Said Mildred to her brother: "How much JUST how much is there?"
