He was taking only the required courses, seven in all, making necessary an attendance of sixteen hours each week; but Greek and mathematics were stumbling-blocks, and he was in daily fear lest he find himself forbidden to play football. He knew well enough where the trouble lay; he simply didn't give enough time to study.
The crime imputed to him might be plotting to shoot the King; it might be plotting to poison the King.

The Crown had power to compel the attendance of witnesses.
But there was stern work awaiting him, for he would not, he could not believe that their escape could be as easy as it seemed.
