The next day as Gordon was walking across the courts in break "the Bull" came up to him. "Gratters, Caruthers; wasn't your fault you lost. I like a man who can fight uphill. You have got the grit well done, lad." "And yet," said Gordon to Mansell, as they passed under the school gate, "you say that man cares only for his house.
The awles signifieth to take good courage, that we should keepe their lives, and that they with their hushands should come downe to the ffrench when time and season should permitt. The needles for to make them robes of castor, because the ffrench loved them. The 2 gratters weare to dresse the skins; the combes, the paint, to make themselves beautifull; the looking-glasses to admire themselves.
I hate men fraternising with the Dons. The Dons rather encourage it, because it makes them feel youthful and bucks them up. The men are just as bad about Christian names. Gratters on getting your Christian name, you know! It's like a girls' school. I wonder why Cambridge is more like a girls' school than a public school is? I suppose they are more sentimental. I do loathe that."
He was received with a storm of clapping; the House lined up cheering as he ran in between the ropes. "Gratters! Well done!" shouted Foster. "That's a damned fine knock to finish your Fernhurst cricket days with! Well done!" Everyone came up and congratulated him. It was a proud moment, in some ways the proudest of his whole career.
The 4th was that we thanked them ffor making us a free passage through their countreys. The guift was of 2 dozen of knives. The last was of smaller trifles, 6 gratters, 2 dozen of awles, 2 dozen of needles, 6 dozens of looking-glasses made of tine, a dozen of litle bells, 6 Ivory combs, with a litle vermillion.
He looked through The Daily Telegraph and flung it aside; then picked up The London Mail; that was rather more in his line. There was a sound of talking down the passage. He heard Clarke's voice saying: "Yes, down there, third study down, No. 16." A second later there was a knock on the door. He managed to gulp out: "Come in." "Gratters on your Colts' cap, Caruthers. Well played!"
The sword was to signifie that we would be masters both of peace and warrs, being willing to healpe and relieve them, & to destroy our Ennemyes with our armes. The second guift was of 2 and 20 awles, 50 needles, 2 gratters of castors, 2 ivory combs and 2 wooden ones, with red painte, 6 looking-glasses of tin.
