trueness

“It’s a sandy profile. It’s normally a bent-fescue sword. Because on croquet, like golf, the greens, it’s about the trueness and the smoothness. On a tennis court, it’s about rebound and ball height.”

I have just received a letter from Jimmy Britt, lightweight champion of the world, in which he tells me that he particularly enjoyed “The Game” on “account of its trueness to life.”

“It’s a promise—of trueness. Of loyalty. I hereby pledge my troth to serve the cause of the Pandavas.”

I think that shows like these, the only reason you can get away with it, like Pete said, is to approach the character with trueness and with sincerity.

As he waxed about the greens for their trueness, he sounded fairly close to song.
