"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
It would be a pleasure to carry those pails that she bore as if they were mere featherweights.

Grace Livingston Hill Lutz
There is no reason at all why ladies should not employ clubs of good average weight instead of featherweights.
"The Complete Golfer [1905]"
Harry Vardon
