Chapter 7 UP ON THE GOLF-COURSE
The children walked round the golf-course together, after talking to old Lucas. 'We must keep out ofthe way of anyone playing,' said Dick, 'or we might get hit on the head with a ball! Hey, Timmy,what are you doing in the bracken?'
Timmy came out with something in his mouth. He dropped it at George's feet. It was a golf-ball,fairly new. George picked it up. 'What do we do with this?' she said. 'There's no golfer near us. Itmust be a lost ball.'
'Well, all balls lost on golf-courses should be taken in to the pro1,' said Julian. 'By right they belong tohim if found on the course.'
'What's a pro?' asked Anne.
'A professional golfer - a man who's very very good at the game, and is in charge of a golf-course,'
explained Julian. 'Well I'm blessed - here comes old Tim again with another ball.
29
Timmy, we ought to hire you out to golfers who keep losing their balls - you'd save them no end oftrouble!'
Timmy was pleased to be patted and praised. He set off into the rough again at once, sniping here andthere.
'Anyone would think that golf-balls smelt2 like rabbits or something, the way Timmy sniffs3 them out!'
said Anne, as Timmy ran up with yet another ball. 'My word, golfers must be jolly careless, losing somany balls!'
They went on round the course, which was set with great stretches of gorse, full of brilliant blossom4.
A baby rabbit fled from the bracken as Timmy nosed there for balls. Timmy chased it, and thefrightened little creature dodged5 this way and that, trying to escape. 'Let it go, Tim, let it go!' yelledGeorge, but Timmy was much too excited to pay any attention.
Wilfrid suddenly bent6 down as the rabbit raced near him, and gave a curious low whistle. The rabbitswerved, came straight towards him, and leapt into his arms, lying there trembling. Timmy jumpedup to it at once, but George dragged him away.
'NO, Timmy. Sorry, but NO, you can't have the little thing. Down! DOWN, I say!'
Timmy gave George a disgusted look, and pattered off into the bracken, nosing for balls again.
He was very cross with George. Rabbits were meant to be chased, weren't they? Why did Georgehave to spoil his fun?
