Their side made 358, and our two innings only totalled 301; I went in last, with the exception of Cross, and made such furiously ineffective efforts to hit some leg-breaks, that Rushden of New College, who was a most serious cricketer and captain of the 'Varsity XI., was compelled to laugh.
In my last three innings I've made seven runs, and I should think Rushden begins to wish he had never given me my blue. I don't feel as if I should ever make another run." "Your dons must be good sorts," I said. "They're all right," he answered, and he sat down in a chair by the window and looked so unlike himself that I knelt down on the floor and took everything out of the bag.
He did not look particularly pleased to see me, but I have never yet met a man who can pack and be in a good temper at the same time. "Where are you off to?" I asked, for there were still some days before the end of the term. "I am going to Brighton to-night with Henderson." "How did you manage to get leave?" "We have both been seedy, and Rushden wanted us to go before we play Surrey again.
After it was all over, however, I was delighted that Fred had started so well, and it did not surprise me at all when I saw that my name was not down to play for the Sixteen Freshmen against the 'Varsity XI.; in fact I should have been very surprised if Rushden had not made up his mind about me.
