After half-time Seymour's, playing downhill, came away with a rush to the Donaldsonites' half, and Rand-Brown, with one of the few decent runs he had made in good class football that term, ran in on the left. Milton took the kick, but failed, and Seymour's led by three points. For the next twenty minutes nothing more was scored.
I stood outside on the bench, looking through the wire netting over the door, so as not to be in the way when they started scrapping. O'Hara and Rand-Brown took off their blazers and sweaters, and chucked them to Moriarty and Merrett, and then Moriarty and Merrett went and stood in two corners, and O'Hara and Rand-Brown walked into the middle and stood up to one another.
"Rand-Brown wasn't at breakfast," said Harvey. "No. He went to bed. I wonder what'll happen. Think there'll be a row about it?" "Shouldn't think so," said Harvey. "They never do make rows about fights, and neither of them is a prefect, so I don't see what it matters if they do fight. But, I say " "What's up?"
Next day, having given him time to get over the bitterness of defeat in accordance with Clowes' thoughtful suggestion, Trevor called on Milton, and asked him what his opinion was on the subject of the inclusion of Rand-Brown in the first fifteen in place of Barry, "He's the next best man," he added, in defence of the proposal. "I suppose so," said Milton. "He'd better play, I suppose.
Then how it happened I couldn't see, they were so quick just as they had been at it a minute and a half, there was a crack, and the next thing I saw was Rand-Brown on the ground, looking beastly. He went down absolutely flat; his heels and head touched the ground at the same time.
"Why not move Strachan up to the wing, and put somebody else back instead of him? Strachan is a good wing." Trevor shook his head. "No. There's nobody good enough to play back for the first. We mustn't risk it." "Then I suppose it must be Rand-Brown?" "I suppose so." "He may do better than we think. He played quite a decent game today. That try he got wasn't half a bad one."
You see, everything the League's done so far could have been done by him and Rand-Brown, without anybody else's help. The only other studies that were ragged were Mill's and Milton's both in Seymour's. "Yes," said Clowes. There was a pause. Clowes put another shovelful of coal on the fire. "What are you going to do to Ruthven?" "Nothing." "Nothing? Hang it, he doesn't deserve to get off like that.
Milton told him the story of Shoeblossom, as Barry had told it to him. The only difference was that Trevor listened without any of the scepticism which Milton had displayed on hearing it. He was getting excited. It all fitted in so neatly. If ever there was circumstantial evidence against a man, here it was against Rand-Brown. Take the two cases. Milton had quarrelled with him.
He had set his heart on playing for the second this term. Then suddenly he noticed a remarkable phenomenon. The other wing three-quarter was Rand-Brown. If Rand-Brown was playing for the second, who was playing for the first? He looked at the list. "Come on," he said hastily to M'Todd. He wanted to get away somewhere where his agitated condition would not be noticed.
He isn't as bad as Rand-Brown quite but he's pretty nearly as finished a little beast as you could find." "Finished is just the word," said Trevor. "He's going at the end of the week." "Going? What! sacked?" "Yes. The Old Man's been finding out things about him, apparently, and this smoking row has just added the finishing-touch to his discoveries.
