Of course, Gwen could not be left out of the game. “What’s the big idea?” she asked, repeating a remark she had heard the errand boy use the day before. “You have to make it jump and then hit it,” replied Richard. “It is really a very old English game.” “I should say it is the easiest game I’ve ever seen,” said Gwen. “Very well,” said Richard, “you try it.”
Gwen did try it, but she did not find it quite so easy as she had thought. In fact, the first swing she made at the “cat” missed completely and she very nearly hit Richard. If she had he would certainly have taken no fuithei interest in the game. “Hi! Mind what you arc doing,” he yelled.
