Excerpt from The TriflersAt the point where the Older Sisters gave him up as hopeless, he came as a sort Of challenge to the younger.This might have proved dangerous for him had it not been for his schedule, which did not leave him Very long in any one place and which kept him always pretty well occupied. By spending his winters at his New York club until after the holi days, then journeying to Switzerland for the winter sports, then to Nice for tennis, then to Paris for a month of gay spring and the Grand Prix, and so over to England for a few days in London and a month Of golf along the coast he was able to come back refreshed to his camp in the Adirondacks, there to fish until it was time to return to Cambridge for the football season, where he found himself still useful as a coach in the art of drop-kicking.The fact that he could get into his Old football togs without letting out any strings or pulling any in, and could even come through an occasional scrimmage without losing his breath, was proof that he kept himself in good condition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
