The reception, which was to begin at half-past eight, included the greater part of Oakdale's younger set, and before it was over Reddy and Jessica were to slip away and motor to the next town, there to catch the night train to New York.

The principal cause of his misery, the reason why he kept telling himself over and over that he was a cowardly sneak, was his knowledge that the playing signals of the visitors had been betrayed to the home team, and that, taking advantage of the knowledge thus obtained, Wyndham was prepared to block Oakdale's every play, and was doing this in a manner which appeared to the average spectator like almost uncanny foresight and cleverness at the game.
"By the way, girls," said Grace, addressing the team, "has any one any objection to Anne and Jessica staying to see the practice game?

Score 10 to 1 Oakdale's score! Immediately a terrific hubbub began. Surely the place had gone mad, Anne thought.
