The approach to his affections was confirmed by another American flag displayed before one of the chief hotels in Llandudno itself. I learned afterward of the landlord that this was because there were several Chicago families in his house, and fifteen Americans in all; but why the tennis-ground of Rhyl flew our national banner, I do not know to this day.
"I thought we should never get out of the Hall; but when we did get out of the window upon that tapestried platform, and down on the tennis-ground, with Turkey rugs to hide the bare spots in it " She stopped as people do when it is better to leave the effect to the listener's imagination. "Yes, I think it was rather nice," said Boardman. "Nice?" repeated Mrs. Pasmer; and she looked at Mavering.
It was unpleasant to offend one whose papa was in the Ministry of War; and the situation might therefore have continued, perhaps to the satisfaction of the younger officers, if a fortunate chance had not brought Kauerhof himself to the tennis-ground. He escorted his wife chivalrously home, and led her, without a word, to the mirror.
Those weeds that have escaped can be distinctly seen, and the operation should be repeated. The weeds thus treated die, and in about three weeks the grass will have grown, and there will not be a vestige of disturbance left. Two years ago I converted a rough pasture into a tennis-ground for six courts. Naturally the turf was a mass of rough weeds.
He calculated that she must be at a place where there was a brilliant piece of humorous description; she had a fair share of humour why didn't she laugh?

Then he showed himself again at the office for an hour in the afternoon, but in his tennis clothes this time, in white shoes, a racket in his hand. When Wolfgang left the West End tennis-ground that afternoon, hot and red the games had been long and obstinate and went across to the Zoological Gardens' Station, he hesitated as he stood at the entrance to it.
As though the Powers deigned to reward an act of virtue on the very night of its performance, he was posted by his picket in the shadow of the high corrugated iron fence of the tree-bordered tennis-ground behind the Convent, as "Lights Out" sounded from the camp of the Irregulars, beyond the Railway-sheds and storehouses.
The tennis-ground was over-grown with grass his predecessor's family evidently had not cared about tennis. He recognised most of the trees in the garden. The old vine at the side of the house was green and full of unripe grapes. It was the only thing that had a cheerful look. Kellson returned to the hotel, and found that several of the inhabitants of the village had called and left cards.
He looked about as different from any of the men on that tennis-ground as a man well could look. He looked odd; and that saved him.
