"Just do as well as you can and don't be so anxious. You would play a better game that way." We do not always believe when we are learning that work will be enjoyable. We have to learn how to work before we can get the full enjoyment from our occupation. You had to learn how to skate and how to dance before you enjoyed skating and dancing.
"'Oh, do skate, Mr. Winkle, said Arabella. 'I like to see it so much. "'Oh, it is so graceful, said another young lady. A third young lady said it was elegant, and a fourth expressed her opinion that it was 'swanlike. "'I should be very happy, I'm sure, said Mr. Winkle, reddening, 'but I have no skates. "This objection was at once overruled.
Lady Newhaven thought the thaw might come any day. Captain Pratt had been skating yesterday on the parental flooded meadow. Flooded with fire-engine. Men out of work. Glad of employment, etc. How kind of Captain Pratt to employ them. Not at all. It was his father. Duties of the landed gentry, etc. He believed if the frost continued they would skate on Beaumere.
I'm going up there presently. It's glorious by moonlight." He chattered inconsequently on, happy in the fact that he had secured the prettiest girl in the hotel for his partner, and not in the least disturbed by any lack of response on her part. To skate with her hand in hand was the utmost height of his ambition just then, his brain not being of a particularly aspiring order.
I can give a pretty good guess who that smart chap is; but don't bother trying to deny it, Hugh. The only bad thing about it in my mind is that we'll miss those jolly fires. It's always been so fine to skate up and stand before one, to get warm, and hear the flames crackle, while the girl you're skating with sits on a log, or something like that, to warm her feet."
Did she really get hurt?" "Hurt? I don't know what you're talking about. I only know that my mistress wants to see you, for some reason or another, and that it's mighty cold standing here. Come in. Yes. I suppose she wants you both. She said 'children." Molly whisked off Towsley's skate, then her own, and hastily dragged him after her up into the house. "That's so.
The largest of these he named the island of St. Ursula, and the others he called the Eleven Thousand Virgins. He next came to the island called Borriquen by the Indians, but which he named St John the Baptist, in a bay on the west side of which the fleet came to anchor, where they caught several sorts of fish, as skate, olaves, pilchards, and shads.
And it will never show, on a galloping horse on a dark night." "Blindstitch, you mean," said Marjorie; "yes, I can do that. Oh, Father, how clever you are! How did you know how to do it?" "Well, to be honest, I saw a similar place in the lining of the skate bag. So I concluded that was the most approved way to make bags. Can you finish it now?"
Then, very tactfully, he put Martha through a little examination, which had nothing in common with the examinations of the Sorbonne or the Hôtel de Ville. "Did she skate?" That's what he wanted to know first! He was himself a very distinguished skater. He needed a sport-loving wife. She makes figures-of-eight. And who swims well, too like a fish!" She skated, she swam, she was sport-loving.
The time is not far distant when this mighty river will be frozen to the distance of fully a mile out, and men may skate where Atlantic steamers sail. At present the river is free, but the frost comes like a thief in the night, and the wary shipmasters have already gone into winter quarters. The railway people are also preparing for the too familiar terrors of the Canadian winter.
