Then there were a batch of fellows whose names we need hardly enumerate, who had run over from Oxford, or Cambridge, or London for the day, and who got into clusters between the innings and talked and laughed a great deal over old times, when "Bully did this," and "Rick did that," and so on. A nice lot of fellows they looked on the whole, and one or two, so people said, were doing well.
Hugh Rossiter is one of the best fellows I know," he observed, "and Leah will be a happy woman the day she marries him. And marry him she will, you may take my word for it." "Poor Leah, I am so glad he cares for her. Of course you know Mrs. Richardson is dying, Malcolm, and that she is likely to be left alone in the world?" "Yes, and then Hugh Rossiter will have his innings."
Psmith leaned against the mantelpiece in the senior day room at Outwood's since Mike's innings against Downing's the Lost Lambs had been received as brothers by the center of disorder, so that even Spiller was compelled to look on the hatchet as buried and gave his views on the events of the preceding night, or, rather, of that morning, for it was nearer one than twelve when peace had once more fallen on the school.
A moment later the slight damage was repaired, and then Captain the Honorable Anson Anstruther had his little innings. With courtly hospitality he offered the creamy champagne as a remplacement for the lost vin du pays. A charming smile rewarded the gallant youth, while Major Hawke turned with interest to the renewal of the interrupted narrative.
To Bert and Tom and Dick it brought back the memory of the great game they had played there two years before a game that had gone into extra innings, and had been won by a wonderful bit of playing on the part of Tom who was holding down third. "Remember that game, Tom?" asked Bert. "O, no," mocked Dick. "He doesn't remember. A man who has made a triple play unassisted never thinks of it again."
Joanna told him of an inspiration she had had with regard to the poorer innings of Great Ansdore she was going to put down fish-guts for manure it had done wonders with some rough land over by Botolph's Bridge "Reckon it'll half stink the tenants out, but they're at the beginning of a seven years lease, so they can't help themselves much."
Also that it is not dignified or discreet to take new acquaintance into your entire confidence and that even if one is blessed with friends of such quick sympathy that they really enjoy hearing about people they have never seen, it is well not to abuse the privilege, and now and then to allow them an "innings" at describing their remarkable parents, brothers, sisters, and remoter relatives.
Those players have played out; but another set will yet have their innings, and make a score that shall perhaps be talked of far and wide in the Western World. We were still bent upon army inspection, and with this purpose went back from Cairo to Louisville, in Kentucky.
Staveleigh. First innings, a hundred and forty-eight runs. Huntercombe eighty-eight. Staveleigh. Second innings, sixty runs, and only one wicket down; and Johnson and Wright, two of their best men, well in, and masters of the bowling. This being communicated to Ruperta, she became excited, and her soul in the game.
But Eric, hastily borrowing another bat, took his place again quite tamely; he was trembling, and at the very next ball, he spooned a miserable catch into Graham's hand, and the shout of triumph from the other side proclaimed that his innings was over.
