Whenever possible, use shoes for golfing instead of boots. They allow more freedom to the ankles, and make it much easier to pivot on the toes. Keep the leather of your boots and shoes soft and pliable. Apply dubbin to them in the winter. Take care that there are plenty of nails on the soles of your boots and shoes, and that they are in good condition and the heads not worn away.
"Well, sir, the girl was very young, very pretty, I might say beautiful not like anything he had ever met before. Without training, but he thought at her pliable age it was so easy to remedy that." Everything went on well enough for a little while after they were married." "Good Lord, they were married!" "What else?" said Dick, turning scarlet.
For the essence of friendship being that two minds become as one, how can that ever take place if the mind of each of the separate parties to it is not single and uniform, but variable, changeable, and complex?

The seeds of clerical hate fell in good ground, and I see a bountiful harvest nodding for my sickle! Oh! you are more pliable than I had fancied! You have been thoroughly trained down yonder at the parsonage. But I will be- "
The rubato, from rubare, to rob, represents a pliable movement that is certainly as old as the Greek drama in declamation, and was employed in intoning the Gregorian chant.
