As the distance between them lessened, he discovered that inside the flannels was Neville-Smith's body and behind the grin the rest of Neville-Smith's face. Their visit to the nets not having coincided in point of time, as the Greek exercise books say, Wyatt had not seen his friend since the list of the team had been posted on the board, so he proceeded to congratulate him on his colours.
There was no doubt about Neville-Smith's interest and sympathy. He was silent for a moment after Mike had finished. "It was all my fault," he said at length. "If it hadn't been for me, this wouldn't have happened. What a fool I was to ask him to my place! I might have known he would be caught." "Oh, I don't know," said Mike. "It was absolutely my fault."
But only because I shall be the only one to do it. If the whole school took Friday off, they couldn't do much. They couldn't sack the whole school." "By Jove, nor could they! I say!" They walked on, Neville-Smith's mind in a whirl, Wyatt whistling. "I say," said Neville-Smith after a pause. "It would be a bit of a rag." "Not bad." "Do you think the chaps would do it?"
The Wyatt disaster was too recent for him to feel much pleasure at playing against Ripton vice his friend, withdrawn. Bob was the next to interview him. They met in the cloisters. "Hullo, Mike!" said Bob. "I say, what's all this about Wyatt?" "Wain caught him getting back into the dorm. last night after Neville-Smith's, and he's taken him away from the school." "What's he going to do?
"What's up?" he asked. "Neville-Smith's giving a meal at his place in honour of his getting his first. I understand the preparations are on a scale of the utmost magnificence. No expense has been spared. Ginger-beer will flow like water. The oldest cask of lemonade has been broached; and a sardine is roasting whole in the market-place." "Are you going?"
Mike was not equal to the task of soothing Neville-Smith's wounded conscience. He did not attempt it. They walked on without further conversation till they reached Wain's gate, where Mike left him. Neville-Smith proceeded on his way, plunged in meditation. The result of which meditation was that Burgess got a second shock before the day was out.
