Some of the caddies were poor as sin and lived in one-room houses with a neurasthenic cow in the front yard.
“The best caddy I ever saw,” shouted Mr. Mortimer Jones over a drink that afternoon. “Never lost a ball!”
The situation was resolved by the fortuitous appearance of the caddy-master, who was appealed to immediately by the nurse.
Now he remembered having seen her several times the year before – in bloomers.
Miss Jones and her retinue now withdrew, and at a proper distance from Dexter became involved in a heated conversation, which was concluded by Miss Jones taking one of the clubs and hitting it on the ground with violence.
