Within two minutes O'Hara's golden eloquence had soothed him and made him view the matter in quite a different light. What O'Hara pointed out was that it was not Trevor's affair at all, but his own. Who, he asked, had been likely to be damaged most by Rand-Brown's manoeuvres in connection with the lost bat? Trevor was bound to admit that O'Hara was that person.

But then, what there was of Trevor was, as previously remarked, steel and india-rubber, and he certainly played football like a miniature Stoddart. It was characteristic of him that, though this was the first match of the term, his condition seemed to be as good as possible. He had done all his own work on the field and most of Rand-Brown's, and apparently had not turned a hair.

"I only mentioned that it was Rand-Brown's fourth as an item of interest." The game continued. Barry scored a third try. "We're drawn against Appleby's next round," said Trevor. "We can manage them all right." "When is it?" "Next Thursday. Nomads' match on Saturday. Then Ripton, Saturday week." "Who've Seymour's drawn?" "Day's. It'll be a good game, too.

"Ruthven swears they were, and I shouldn't wonder if he wasn't telling the truth, for once in his life.

"That makes Rand-Brown's fourth try," said Clowes, as the wing three-quarter of the second fifteen raced round and scored in the corner. "Yes. This is the sort of game he's all right in. The man who's marking him is no good. Barry's scored twice, and both good tries, too." "Oh, there's no doubt which is the best man," said Clowes.

"No," said Trevor; "as a matter of fact, I came to tell you to turn out for running and passing with the first tomorrow afternoon. You're playing against Ripton on Saturday." Rand-Brown's attitude underwent a complete transformation at the news. He became friendliness itself. "All right," he said. "I say, I'm sorry I said what I did about lying.
