Davies could give any one of these two hands a time, that is, half the game, and each of these, at their best, could give the best player now in London the same odds. Such are the gradations in all exertions of human skill and art. He once played four capital players together, and beat them. He was also a first-rate tennis-player and an excellent fives-player.

The great mystery of it all was why Hugh should have gone deliberately and clandestinely to the Villa Amette on the night of the tragic affair. Dorise was really an expert in casting a fly; also she excelled in several branches of sport. She was a splendid tennis-player, she rode well to hounds, and was very fair at golf.

A first-class shot, an excellent tennis-player, a good golfer, and quite a good hand at putting a stone in curling, he was an all-round sportsman who was sure to be highly popular with his fellow-guests. Hence up in the north his advent was always welcomed with loud approbation.

"It may be so," I said, masking my surprise, and affecting indifference. "A tennis-player." I shrugged my shoulders. "The man is known," I said. "A Protestant?" "It is not impossible." "And a subject of the King, my master.

"My dear Miss Westonhaugh," he answered, "I am not a tennis-player at all, to begin with, and as I do not understand the finesse of the game, to use a word I do not understand either, you must pardon my clumsiness in employing the hand most convenient and ready." "Some people," I began, "are what is called ambidexter, and can use either hand with equal ease.

It is not my opinion that Shakespeare was, as Ben Jonson came to be, as much "in Society" as is possible for a mere literary man. I do not, in fancy, see him wooing a Maid of Honour. He was a man's man, a peer might be interested in him as easily as in a jockey, a fencer, a tennis-player, a musician, que scais-je?

"Ye-e-es." Carroll resumed his inspection of the body, examining every detail of figure and raiment; and while he worked he talked. "You know something about this chap?" "More or less. He's prominent socially; belongs to clubs, and all that sort of thing. Has money real money. Bachelor lives alone. Has a valet, and all that kind of rot. Owns his car. Golfer tennis-player huntsman.

In each case the Unconscious realised the thought in its own way, chose inevitably the means best suited to arrive at its end the realisation of the idea.

She had fancied the neckties he should wear, and the pins that should be stuck in them. He must be brave, of course, a beautiful dancer, a fine tennis-player.
