Bryant's, who were their opponents, were not strong, and had only managed to get into the final owing to their luck in drawing weak opponents for the trial heats. The real final, that had decided the ownership of the cup, had been Donaldson's v. Seymour's. Aldershot arrived, and the sports. Drummond and O'Hara covered themselves with glory, and brought home silver medals.
"My number's up," he whispered, and the game smile which twisted his white lips was pitiful. "Nonsense." Seymour's gruff tone concealed emotion. Hargraves' face betrayed death's indelible sign. "You'll pull through, once you're back at the hospital." Hargraves shook his head; he realized the futility of argument. "Have you pencil and paper?" he asked. "Yes."
"Father found the pass from General Washington among his dispatches brought by the courier; and as it includes Mrs. Seymour's maid, he arranged with her that I go instead, as Mrs. Seymour kindly says she can procure another attendant in New York. I can scarce believe it possible, Sally. Oh, fancy my having to live in a city occupied by the British!"
And all that was said in the studio from that moment remained firmly fixed in his memory. Garstin got up to fetch some more whisky for Arabian, whose glass was now empty, and as he came back with the decanter he said to Arabian: "Sir Seymour's had a good look at your portrait, Arabian." "Indeed!" said Arabian. "And he thinks it's damn fine.
After all, it was a judgment on the house for harbouring such a specimen as Sheen. In Seymour's there was tumult and an impromptu indignation meeting. Stanning had gone to work scientifically.
If Sheen thought that Seymour's was going to chuck away all chance of winning one of the inter-house events, simply in order to give him an opportunity of doing the Young Hero, the sooner he got rid of that sort of idea, the better. If he wanted to do the Leo Cholmondeley business, let him go and chuck a kid into the river, and jump in and save him.

The last attack had finished him. His seconds helped him to his corner. The referee waved his hand. "Sheen wins," he said. And that was the greatest moment of his life. Seymour's house took in one copy of the Sportsman daily.
"You think of everything. When do you think of playing it, then?" "Wednesday struck me as a good day. Don't you think so?" "It would do splendidly. It'll be a good match. For all practical purposes, of course, it's the final. If we beat Seymour's, I don't think the others will trouble us much." There was just time to see Milton before lock-up.
He had come principally to make arrangements for the match between his house and Seymour's in the semi-final round of the competition. "You're looking bad," he said, taking a seat. "I'm feeling bad," said Drummond. For the past few days he had been very much out of sorts. He put it down to a chill caught after the Ripton match.
