children humorous ice-cream
She could not have gazed at him with a more rapturous intensity if she had been a small child and he a saucer of ice cream.
humorous pieces puppy
It looked something like a pen wiper and something like a piece of hearth-rug. A second and keener inspection revealed it as a Pekinese puppy.
country fighting feelings
I never was interested in politics. I'm quite unable to work up any kind of belligerent feeling. Just as I'm about to feel belligerent about some country I meet a decent sort of chap. We go out together and lose any fighting thoughts or feelings.
pockets world want
That's always the way in this world. The chappies you'd like to lend money to won't let you, whereas the chappies you don't want to lend it to will do everything except actually stand you on your head and lift the specie out of your pockets.

grief golf games
I've just discovered the secret of golf. You can't play a really hot game unless you're so miserable that you don't worry over your shots. Take the case of a chip shot, for instance. If you're really wretched, you don't care where the ball is going and so you don't raise your head to see. Grief automatically prevents pressing and over-swinging. Look at the top-notchers. Have you ever seen a happy pro?

A little bit added to what you've already got gives you a little bit more.
golf games glorious
It is the glorious uncertainty of golf that makes it the game it is.

I always strive, when I can, to spread sweetness and light. There have been several complaints about it.
lying golf waiting
Confidence, of course is an admirable asset to a golfer, but it should be an unspoken confidence. It is perilous to put it into speech. The gods of golf lie in wait to chasten the presumptious.
golf what-is-love opponents
What is Love compared with holing out before your opponent?
real golf excellence
They were real golfers, for real golf is a thing of the spirit, not of mere mechanical excellence of stroke.
