They had won the match, of that there was no doubt. And they had been done out of their victory. The limit was reached when, muddy and cold, they found that the new boot-boy had forgotten to heat the boiler, and there was only cold water to wash in. The changing-room was filled with the sound of oaths and curses.
"Of course you didn't, my dear chap.... By the way; will you be young enough for the Colts' next year? You will. Good. Then it won't be at all a bad side. Collins and Foster were quite good; and you played a really good game." "What did 'the Bull' want, Caruthers?" Lovelace asked as Gordon walked into the changing-room. "Oh, nothing much. He didn't like me calling his fellows 'swine."

These others' he indicated with a disparaging wave of the hand the rest of the team, who were visible through the window of the changing-room 'are all very well. Decent club bats. Good for a few on a billiard-table. But you're our hope on a wicket like this.
What he said was, 'Robinson wins, in a sharp voice, as if somebody were arguing about it. The pair then shook hands and retired. Tony and his opponent retired for a moment to the changing-room, and then made their way amidst applause on to the raised stage on which the ring was pitched.
