For Cobber was off-side and Trent burst through the line on a spurt that was good for thirty-three yards. Two snappy line plays followed that made the Cobber boys feel the cold sweat ooze. It would have been Gridley's first down, but a little slip penalized the home players for fifteen yards. Most of the people of Gridley back in the seats wore now standing up in their excitement.
Susan was not very quick of apprehension, but she could not help seeing the justice of Master Gridley's remark, that for a young person to go and break in on the hours that a minister requires for his studies, without being accompanied by a mature friend who would remind her when it was time to go, would be taking an unfair advantage of his kindness in asking her to call upon him.
That sign meant: "Emergency signal code!" Then he bent over to snap the ball back, and the figures that shot from quarter-back's chest carried different values from those that any enemy could guess. "Eight -eleven -four -ten!" Then the ball went back to quarter, who started from a crouch without straightening up. Gridley's whole attack seemed to swing to the right.
An impression produced by her dream? An effect of an influx from another sphere of being? The working of Master Byles Gridley's emphatic warning? The magic of her new talisman? We may safely leave these questions for the present.
She recollected Master Gridley's mistake about their destination, and determined to follow the hint he had given. It would please him better if she sent them to good Father Pemberton, she felt sure, than if he should get them himself. What made Myrtle nervous and restless?

"For just exactly the sime reason," cried the excited Moses, hammering on the table with both hands, "for just exactly the sime reason that he should communicate with Messrs. 'Anbury and Bootle of Paternoster Row and with Miss Gridley's 'igh class Academy at 'Endon, and with old Lady Bullingdon who lives at Penge."
The master-mechanic excused himself abruptly when he saw who the trainmaster's follower was. "I'll go and get something to eat," he said hurriedly; "after which I'll pick up a few men whom we can depend upon and garrison the shops. Send over for me if you need me." Benson looked hard at the door which was still quivering under Gridley's outgoing slam.
And now Gridley came in at the bat. "It's no use! We're whipped!" That was the comment everywhere as Gridley came in from the field prepared for a last effort. Gridley's first and second men went bad -the first struck out, and the second knocked a foul bit that was caught. "Greg, you've got to go to bat next," whispered Dick to Holmes, just a moment before. "Oh, don't you strike out.
As Dick read down the pages every vestige of color faded from his face. Here was Gridley's whole elaborate signal code, laid down in black and white to the last detail.
