When he gave the signal they dragged him out, supported between them, across the pavement, into the car. Ugh! His attitude was so natural as to be absolutely ghastly. Merries started the car and sprang into the driver's seat. There were people in the Square now, but the figure reclining in the dark, cushioned interior looked perfectly natural. "So long, Jimmy," Sir Richard called out.
It was mainly Sparkfair's wonderful pitching that kept Frank and his friends from circling the bases. Dale had splendid speed, dazzling shoots, and masterly control. In the fifth the Merries tried the bunting game and filled the bases, with only one out. Badger then came up and smashed out a fine two-bagger, driving in three runs. Sparkfair then struck out Carson and Dunnerwurst.
"Pray take a chair, Sir Richard. You want to know, of course, about Lord Merries and poor Masters." Sir Richard stared at his questioner, for a moment, without speech. Once more the fear which he had succeeded in banishing for a while, shone in his eyes revealed itself in his white face. "Try the easy-chair, Sir Richard," Ruff continued, pleasantly.
One would have judged him to be what he was a man of fashion and a patron of the turf. "Masters," he said, "we are all old friends here. We want to speak to you plainly. We three have had a try, as you know Merries, Dickinson and myself to make the coup of our lives. We failed, and we're up against it hard." "Very hard, indeed," Lord Merries murmured softly. "Deuced hard!"
The object of her solicitude was, it seemed to Peter Ruff, the most pitiful-looking object upon which he had ever looked. The hours had dwelt with Merries as the years with some people, and worse.
I ups and merries John Gunter, what's been a-hangin' around a year or more, and I says, 'We'll take the house off your hands, Cap'n. I've made up a notion to keep lodgers, and then that'll give my girls a place to come to, and git fed up, a holidays don't you see, sir?
I did hear that he had a lot of money coming to him over the Cambridgeshire." Merries shuddered. "May I go?" he pleaded. "There's the three hundred on the table. For God's sake, let me go!" Peter Ruff nodded. "I wish you'd saved a little more," he said. "However " He turned the lock and Merries rushed out of the room. Ruff looked across the room towards his secretary.
Merries looked away from him all the time he was speaking. His voice was thick and nervous. "There were three of us lunching together," he began "four in all. There was a dispute, and this man threatened us. Afterwards there was a fight. It fell to my lot to take him away, and I can't get rid of him! I can't get rid of him!" he repeated, with something that sounded like a sob.
"Any blamed fool could do better'n I'm doing to-day. I guess I've lost the game." "The game isn't over yet," said Frank grimly. "We'll play it out." The Rovers secured no more runs in that inning. Nevertheless, Bender had no difficulty in blanking the Merries in the first of the eighth. In the last of the eighth just three men faced Merriwell. He struck them all out.
"We want just a word with you on business first, before you go Colonel Dickinson, Lord Merries and myself." Masters shook his head. "See you to-morrow," he declared. "No time to talk business now. Let me go!" He made another attempt to rise, which his host also prevented. "Masters, don't be a fool!" the latter said firmly. "You've got to hear what we want to say to you. Sit down and listen."
