Philpot said "All right," and went, leaving the others to poke up the fire and get all ready for the reception of the pan. He was a long while about it, certainly, considering that the chemistry- room was only just at the end of the passage. "I wonder what he's up to?" said Pilbury, when after about three minutes he did not return.
Cusack carried his bat for eighteen, much to his own gratification; and of his companions, Pilbury, Philpot, and Walker each made double figures. It required all Riddell's authority, in the face of this splendid achievement, to keep his men from jeopardising their second innings in the field by yielding prematurely to elation.
"I was looking for a book I had lost," said Bosher, "in the Big near our door, and I heard Cusack tell Pilbury to wait till he went and saw if the coast was clear. So they'll be here directly." "Jolly lucky you heard them," said Parson. "What shall we do, you fellows?" There was a slight interval for reflection, and then Telson said, "Fancy the jug dodge is about the best.
At Charlton College, where the doctor was an assistant for some years, before we came to Pilbury, there was one of the under-masters, a young man of very good family, who took such an interest in the place that he not only contributed a hundred pounds out of his own pocket towards building a chapel, but also got ever so many of his wealthy friends elsewhere to subscribe, first to that, and then to the organ and stained-glass window.
Edie blushed and looked down as she answered almost inaudibly, 'As you think best, dear Ernest. So that very evening Ernest sent off an application to Pilbury Regis, together with such testimonials as he had by him, mentioning at the same time his intention to marry, and his recent engagement at Lord Exmoor's.
This arrangement was all against Parson, who, if the half-hour had been still available, could at least have skimmed through his Caesar, and perhaps have begged a friend to help him with the French verbs, and possibly even have had it out with Pilbury for his morning's diversion.
The next ball comes but before it has left the bowler's hand young Wyndham has begun to run. Loud shouts and laughter follow his headlong progress. "Well run, sir; put it on!" scream Parson and Telson. "Stop thief!" howl Bosher and his friends. "He's gaining, there! Pull yourself together!" cry Cusack and Pilbury.
"If he can't get the pan or a toasting-fork," said Curtis, disinterestedly, "wouldn't it be as well to have the dough-nuts now, and leave the herrings till supper, eh, Pil? Pity for them to get stale." Pilbury said nothing, but broke off a little piece of the peppermint- rock in a meditative manner, and drummed his feet on the floor.
Don't be vexed with me, my dear fellow, if I speak to you very plainly. You've lost your place at Pilbury because you wouldn't be practical. You might have known they wouldn't let you go hobnobbing publicly before the very eyes of boys and parents with a firebrand German Socialist.
He took a scrap of paper from his pocket and handed it to Edie. It ran thus: 'WANTED at Pilbury Regis Grammar School, Dorset, a Third Classical Master. Must be a Graduate of Oxford or Cambridge; University Prizeman preferred. If unmarried, to take house duty. Commence September 20th. Salary, 200L a year. Apply, as above, to the Rev. J. Greatrex, D.D., Head Master. Edie read it through slowly.
