He knew The Cat would answer to the least pressure of the leg, and by way of showing off for his shoulder hurt him very much he bent the little fellow in a close figure-of-eight in and out between the goal-posts. All the natives laughed. "And now," said The Maltese Cat, as they took their place, "remember that this is the last quarter, and follow the ball!"
They are clad during the whole time in a dress composed of ropes made of alternate pumpkin-seeds and bits of reed strung together, and wound round the body in a figure-of-eight fashion. They are inured in this way to bear fatigue, and carry large pots of water under the guidance of the stern old hag.

And now the absurd figure-of-eight nine-hole course, the third hole of which was also the seventh, and the first the ninth, had been complicated into a war kitchen-garden, and James, bored with ordinary difficulties and discomforts, had evolved the new golf. "Come on," said he, burning with the zeal of a martyr-burner, "I'll show you the ground." "Can't I see it by standing up in the hammock?"
Pernier at Gortyna, where a big Northerner with round shield and greaves threatens a tiny Minoan or Mycenæan, crouching behind his figure-of-eight shield.
