To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have spoken of the room in which we met. Con- ceive it then on almost every occasion filled to over- flowing, indeed we had to make ourselves useful in passing along viands, and the youngest members whose duty it was to collect the dinner bill often found it very difficult to get round the outside of the tables.
Our dinners were very popular ; they were good but plain, the charge being four shillings and sixpence, BRUNTSFIELD LINKS GOLF CLUB 79 and there was always plenty of champagne. Any am...ount of chaff and fun and hard hitting went on, while jokes of all kinds were played, but woe to the member who dared to take offence. His only course was to give back a Roland for an Oliver, or grin and bear it and bide his time.
Probably the two most formidable opponents to meet at this kind of game were the two oldest men in the company, old John Miller, the Father of the Club, and A. B. Walker. Encounters with the former were generally shunned, because he really did not under- stand what chaff meant and would respond to any attack with a kind of subdued ferocity, and make use of any dialectic weapons to hand without much care as to their selection.
