"Anyhow, it's a good job he has pulled up," said Fairbairn, "for he's not a bad youngster. He's got into the second-eleven just lately, and is tremendously proud of it. He's vowed he'll get old Wyndham to come down and umpire in the match with Templeton second-eleven next month."
Of course, there's the second-eleven practices still going on for the Templeton match, but I'll turn up here all the same." Riddell took a turn or two in silence. What was he to do? A word from him, he felt, could ruin this boy before all Willoughby, and possibly disgrace him for life. He, Riddell, as captain of the school, seemed to have a clear duty in the matter.
If any proof had been needed that young Wyndham was "down," as the Parrett's fellows termed it, the fact that he did not put in appearance at the second-eleven practice next day supplied it. Bloomfield, who in ordinary course had strolled round to watch the play, noticed his absence, and drew his own conclusions from it.
