The old gentleman used to play golf very seriously

indeed , toiled at his swing and read all the latest

books. But somehow he did not get on very well ;

he returned home at the end of the day tired and

dispirited and wondered dismally over his glass of

port after dinner what he had been doing wrong

and why he had not begun golf when he was

younger. And it was then that pepper , who had

been sternly turned back in the morning , when

greeting master`s grey coat with expectant barks ,

would look at him with sad , reproachful eyes. One

day he was taking pepper and the tennis ball out

for an airing in the park , when it suddenly

occurred to him that here was an opportunity for a

little practice . He looked round him with a stealthy

and shame faced air , there was no park keeper in

sight . , no one could see him. So , instead of

throwing pepper`s ball he drove it manfully with

his walking stick. And what an entrancing

sensation it was ! true , the ball did not fly high into

the air , but then neither , as a rule , did a golf ball

when he hit it , and , if it did , it flew in a malignant

curve to the right . this ball was nice and big , it

made a jolly noise , and he could hit it a plump and

honest blow . There were no slices , no bunkers , no grinning caddies , and pepper seemed to enjoy the

game more than ever .

That evening after dinner , when he sat in his

armchair with his handkerchief over his face and

pepper lay curled like a whiting in his basket , both

had the most delicious dreams of phantoms balls ,

and there was no bitter disillusion on waking . So

he gradually gave up the long , tiresome journey to

his golf club and only played in the park. As he has

now practically retired from business , pepper has

as many games he wants.
