In the first place, the paint might have been upset by the ground-man. It was the ground-man's paint. He had been giving a fresh coating to the wood-work in front of the pavilion scoring-box at the conclusion of yesterday's match. In the second place Adair might have upset the tin and trodden in its contents when he went to get his bicycle in order to fetch the doctor for the suffering MacPhee.

'Why, I shall never forget your running catch under the scoring-box at Lord's, exclaimed Mr. Wilkinson, 'I can see it now. It saved the match. I owe you more than I can say, he added with deep emotion. 'Then be grateful, and do me a little favour.
It was a half-volley, just the right distance away from the off-stump; the sort of ball Mike was wont to send nearly through the net at home.... The next moment the dreams had come true. The umpire was signalling to the scoring-box, the school was shouting, extra-cover was trotting to the boundary to fetch the ball, and Mike was blushing and wondering whether it was bad form to grin.
