Being a wise youth, however, and knowing that the best of runners may fail through under-training, he had for the last week or so been going in for a steady course of over-training, getting up in the small hours and going for before-breakfast spins round the track on a glass of milk and a piece of bread. Master R. Robinson was nothing if not thorough in matters of this kind.

"Let's see if he's sober yet." The man on the bulwarks let the stream from the hose flop overboard, where it ran out into a stream of bubbles which joined the wake. Cranze gasped back his breath, and used it in a torrent of curses. "Play on him again," said Kettle, and selected a good black before-breakfast cigar from his pocket. He lit it with care.
