"I have fled I am caught I am held . . . Lord, I submit." And for the second time he heard God's voice "My Son . . . My Son." He felt a touch very gentle and tender on his shoulder. Many years had passed. He opened his eyes and saw the ball that had been rising, many years ago, now falling. The man whom he had collared was climbing to his feet; behind them men were bending down for a "scrum."
It was evident from the outset that it would be a good game. Dacre's were the better side as a team. They had no really weak spot. But Merevale's extraordinarily strong three-quarter line somewhat made up for an inferior scrum. And the fact that the Babe was in the centre was worth much. At first Dacre's pressed. Their pack was unusually heavy for a House-team, and they made full use of it.
The Nomads brought down a reasonably hot team against Beckford as a general rule, for the School had a reputation in the football world. They were a big lot this year. Their forwards looked capable, and when, after the School full-back had returned the ball into touch on the half-way line, the line-out had resulted in a hand-ball and a scrum, they proved that appearances were not deceptive.
The referee blew his whistle for a scrum, and a certain try was lost. From the scrum the Seymour's forwards broke away to the goal-line, where they were pulled up by Bassett. The next minute the defence had been pierced, and Drummond was lying on the ball a yard across the line.
To see the Subway in its most characteristic mood one must travel on it during the rush-hour, when its patrons are packed into the carriages in one solid jam by muscular guards and policemen, shoving in a manner reminiscent of a Rugby football scrum. When Psmith and Billy entered it on the Friday evening, it was comparatively empty.
The Nomad half who was taking the scrum picked it up, and was over the line before Marriott realized that the ball was out at all. The school lining the ropes along the touch-line applauded politely but feebly, as was their custom when the enemy scored. The kick was a difficult one the man had got over in the corner and failed. The referee blew his whistle for half-time.
Seymour's ought to win, but they'll have to play their best. Day's have got some good men." "Fine scrum," said Clowes. "Yes. Quick in the open, too, which is always good business. I wish they'd beat Seymour's." "Oh, we ought to be all right, whichever wins." Appleby's did not offer any very serious resistance to the Donaldson attack.
They broke through in a solid mass the Beckford forwards never somehow seemed to get together properly in the first scrum of a big match and rushed the ball down the field. Norris fell on it. Another hastily-formed scrum, and the Nomads' front rank was off again. Ten yards nearer the School line there was another halt.
Fur-collared coats were pressed against wet working raiments, white gloved hands rested upon greasy shoulders. Officers jostled privates, sailors vied with soldiers in the scrum before the entrance to the microbic land of tunnels. War is a potent demagogue.
He was originally performing on the Pick-Up; but after a few minutes he was fetched to fill a gap in a House game. He was shoved into the scrum, was perfectly useless, and spent his whole time trying to escape notice. Only once he got really near the ball. Just before half-time the ball was rolling slowly towards him, the opposing full-back had failed to reach touch.
