"And Desmond ought to be one of us," he groaned. And now Caesar had passed all forwards. If he keep his wits a base is certain. The full back alone lies between him and triumph. But this is the moment, the psychological moment, when one tiny mistake will prove irrevocable. The Head of Damer's whispers as much to Damer, who smiles sadly. "His father's son will not blunder now," he replies.
Nor does he. The mistake for mistake there must be on one side or t'other is made by Damer's back. As the ball rolls halfway between them, the back hesitates and falters. One base to two and eighteen minutes to play! The second base was kicked by Scaife five minutes later. By this time the School knew that they were looking on at a cock-house match, not a semi-final.
When the teams met in the playing-fields the difference in the size of the players was remarked. Damer's Torpids were small boys, not much bigger than John or the Duffer.
"He showed it by breaking up my planer in a fit of temper, and I fired him." Then he touched the horse with his heel, and Damer's gaze grew venomous as he watched him ride away down the shadowy trail. The rancher evidently noticed it. "Now I begin to understand how you got your jacket tore up and that lump on your forehead," he said.
"I left Okanagan and Seaforth with enough of the boys to hold the claim sitting tight," he said. "Talked to the chiefs in Victoria, and showed them Damer's testimony. They told me that nobody had a patent, and that everything that had been done was informal, and because they would probably have to submit the case to Ottawa it would take time for them to come to a decision. And now for Somasco.
All the Manorites in the Shell and Removes were fellows who had come to Harrow rather over than under fourteen years of age. And when the list of the Torpid Eleven was posted, didn't John's heart boil with pride when he read his own name at the bottom of it? The Manor won the first and the second of the matches. Then came the semi-finals with Damer's.
