"Then Rand-Brown must be the man," he said. "Why don't you go and tackle him? Probably he's got the bat in his study." "It's not in his study," said Trevor, "because I looked everywhere for it, and got him to turn out his pockets, too. And yet I'll swear he knows something about it. One thing struck me as a bit suspicious.
He was full of the match, particularly of the iniquity of Rand-Brown. "I slanged him on the field," he said. "It's a thing I don't often do, but what else can you do when a man plays like that? He lost us three certain tries." "When did you administer your rebuke?" inquired Clowes. "When he had let Strachan through that second time, in the second half.
"I suppose they had to try him, as he was the senior wing three-quarter of the second, but he's no earthly good." "He only got into the second because he's big," was Robinson's opinion. "A man who's big and strong can always get his second colours." "Even if he's a funk, like Rand-Brown," said Clephane. He simply didn't attempt to tackle him.
Then it seemed fishy. What do you think?" Clowes thought so too, but admitted that he did not see of what use the suspicion was going to be. Whether Rand-Brown knew anything about the affair or not, it was quite certain that the bat was not with him. O'Hara, meanwhile, had decided that the time had come for him to resume his detective duties.
The touch-judge ran up with his flag waving in the air, but the referee had other views. "Knocked on inside," he said; "scrum here." "Here" was, Trevor saw with unspeakable disgust, some three yards from the goal-line. Rand-Brown had only had to take the pass, and he must have scored. The Ripton forwards were beginning to find their feet better now, and they carried the scrum.
Barry got over once, but he was held up. Hullo, they're beginning again. Buck up, Sey-mour's." His voice cracking on the high note, he took an immense slab of vanilla chocolate as a remedy for hoarseness. "Who scored for Day's?" asked Clowes. "Strachan. Rand-Brown let him through from their twenty-five. You never saw anything so rotten as Rand-Brown.
Previously the sudden elevation to the first fifteen of Barry, who was popular in the house, at the expense of Rand-Brown, who was unpopular, had given Seymour's something to talk about. But the ragging of the study put this topic entirely in the shade.
These seven were Rigby himself, Linton, Rand-Brown, Griffith, Hunt, Kershaw, and Chapple. Rigby might be scratched off the list at once. He was one of Milton's greatest friends. Exeunt also Griffith, Hunt, and Kershaw. They were mild youths, quite incapable of any deed of devilry. There remained, therefore, Chapple, Linton, and Rand-Brown. Chapple was a boy who was invariably late for breakfast.
It was all very well for him to take over the Rand-Brown contract, and settle it himself, in order to save Trevor from a very bad quarter of an hour, but Trevor was one of those people who object strongly to the interference of other people in their private business. He sought out O'Hara and complained.
Milton was as good a forward as the school possessed. Besides him there were Barry and Rand-Brown on the wings. Drummond was a useful half, and five of the pack had either first or second fifteen colours. It was a team that would take some beating. Trevor came to that conclusion early. "If we can beat Seymour's, we'll lift the cup," he said to Clowes.
