I argued the matter out at great length with myself; and the more I argued the less probable it seemed that one bed, one table, and two chairs-all the furniture of the room next to mine-could so exactly duplicate the sounds of a game of billiards. In putting, a man is generally so impressed by the fact that a reserve of strength is needful, that a contrary effect is produced, and he is nearly always short-nervousness in putting in nine cases out of ten makes a man hit too softly. Typical commercial and residential locks have five or six pin stacks (although four and seven aren't unheard of), with from four to ten distinct cut depths used on each. More than anything else success in picking depends on experience and practice with a range of locks. Remember to practice this several times, in both directions. Over time, accumulate a varied collection of practice locks, and study different lock designs whenever you get the opportunity. As I smoked I heard the game begin again-with a miss in baulk this time, for the whirr was a short one. Between the pauses of the wind I heard the game go forward-stroke after stroke.

I stayed for the night, while the wind and the rat and the sash and the window-bolt played a ding-dong "hundred and fifty up". The major paused and cleared his throat huskily, while the widow remained silent, with her head bent and her eyes intent upon the pattern of the carpet. Even when I shut my enlightened eyes the sound was marvellously like that of a fast game. Bohemian, as he stooped over and kissed her, felt a tear spring to his eyes as he knew that he had come into harbour after life's stormy tossings. The skin of the head tightens and you can feel a faint, prickly bristling all over the scalp. As is always the fashion at sea, the passengers shortly began to pick up sailor terms-a sign that they were beginning to feel at home. Billiards Digest began in 1978 with Jim Rempe as our premier cover subject. Congratulations on completing the beginner's guide to billiards! I did not. So surely as I was given up as a bad carcass by the scores of things in the bed because the bulk of my blood was in my heart, so surely did I hear every stroke of a long game at billiards played in the echoing room behind the iron-barred door.

1. How long does it take to become proficient in billiards? Take frequent breaks, and don't try to complete the whole course in one day. So try to incorporate these insights into your own gameplay. If a man said to a confirmed dâk-bungalow-haunter: "There is a corpse in the next room, and there's a mad girl in the next but one, and the woman and man on that camel have just eloped from a place sixty miles away," the hearer would not disbelieve because he would know that nothing is too wild, grotesque, or horrible to happen in a dâk-bungalow. But I would, first of all, what is billiards put eighty miles of sound assessed crop-land between myself and that dâk-bungalow before nightfall. I had found my ghost and would have given worlds to have escaped from that dâk-bungalow. If I had encouraged him the butler would have wandered all through Bengal with his corpse. A rational person fresh from his own house would have turned on his side and slept. I slept because I was dead tired.

I have remarked before that to the golfer as he gets older there are compensating advantages to set off against the diminished power and length of the long strokes of the tee, and through the green. Kadir Baksh did not say that he had taken from each gang two annas for rent in advance, and then, beyond my ear-shot, had beaten them with the big green umbrella whose use I could never before divine. For example, Mul-T-Lock cylinders use special "telescoping" pins that contain two independently keyed tumblers. To be two yards beyond is far better than to be two yards short, for in the first place you give the ball a chance of holing, and in the second place it relieves the eye somewhat to turn round and putt along a different line. Now re-apply torque and set the first binding pin. At seven bells the first gong rang; at eight there was breakfast, for such as were not too seasick to eat it. There was whirr on whirr and click on click. Sometimes there was a double click and a whirr and another click. There was a whirr and a click, and both sounds could only have been made by one thing-a billiard-ball.
