Synopsis
Excerpt from Some People We Meet: Being Bits of Everyday Character and Piquant Pictures of Persons
Is As well satisfied with himself as a newly feathered turkey. He likes to be thought an ardent player and continually interlards his conversation with such Words as Bunkers, Tees, Clicks, and other dreadful sounding things. His costume consists of a tweed coat and knickerbockers of an alarming pattern, with stock ings conspicuous a mile off, a shirt loud enough to startle a township, and new orange-yellow boots. A sight for the gods, he fussily lugs towards the links, a bright leather bag, - ou which his initials are painted. About a foot to a letter - full of curious looking imple ments, the bulk of whose names he doesn't even know, but which appear to him to be the correct thing to carry. He strides over the turf as though all Southampton be longed to him, shouts out your name across the field, wanting to know' ow many you've made, swears volu my and muffs everything. The men avoid him; the la4ies keep at a respectful distance, whilst the' 'caddie with Visible difficulty suppresses an emphatic opinion con cerning his skill. He is single, and has a keen desire to move in society.
