"What!" cried Burney, staring with wonder. "Tell the captain he's to bowl for himself?" "Yes," said Glyn coolly, "as long as he likes. Come along, Singh;" and, throwing his arm over his Indian companion's shoulder, the two lads fell into military step and marched slowly towards the Doctor's mansion-like house.
