A long success is better when seen at a distance of time, and Nick Frim was beginning to suffer from the monotony of his luck. Fallow field could do nothing with him. He no longer blocked. He lashed out at every ball, and far flew every ball that was bowled. The critics saw, in this return to his old practices, promise of Nick's approaching extinction. The ladies were growing hot and weary.
Wingfield, laughingly; "you had your innings the early part of the evening, it is only fair her preux chevalier should have his revenge." "Yes, I've been bowled out this time, but Don Juan isn't going to have any more innings if Tilton knows anything."

"Oh, but, Carter, you know you're strong, and " Suddenly his pale face was stung with hot color. "Honor," he leaned forward, "you think I'm strong, in any way? You don't consider me an utter weakling?" She looked with comprehending tenderness at his crimson face.
Plumb had announced that Higgs would begin the bowling, the terror of the neighbourhood had not allowed us to see how fast he bowled. There was an air of mystery about Higgs, which the nine of us who were not at the wickets found very entertaining, though Dennison, who was in next, looked anxious.
I don't believe in him." "Nor I," said one of the gentlemen. "Underhand bowling was all he was celebrated for at school; he bowled most frightful sneaks all the time he was there." "Talking about Clare Turner," Charlie Lloyd put in, "I've brought a new book of poems author unknown. I picked it up at the station to-day.
Had the two batsmen been playing for their lives they could not have been more anxiously watched; even Pembury became silent. And now the last ball of the over is bowled in dead silence.
