Norris was captain of the team this year, a sound, stylish bat, with a stroke after the manner of Tyldesley between cover and mid-off, which used to make Miles the professional almost weep with joy. But today he had evidently not quite got into form.
The ancient monument, erected to the memory of Colonel Tyldesley, upon the ground where he fell at the battle of Wigan Lane, only tells a little of the story of Longfellow's puritan hero, Miles Standish, who belonged to the Chorley branch of the family of Standish of Standish, near this town. The ingenious John Roby, author of the "Traditions of Lancashire," was born here.
To-day, however, though the house-prefects expressed varying degrees of excitement at the news that Tyldesley had made a century against Gloucestershire, and that a butter famine was expected in the United States, these world-shaking news-items seemed to leave Adair cold. He champed his bread and marmalade with an abstracted air. He was wondering what to do in this matter of Stone and Robinson.
They then rode on for a few minutes in silence, after which; Richard inquired "You had brave doings at Myerscough Lodge, I suppose, Nicholas?" "Ay, marry had we," answered the squire, "and the feasting must have cost Ned Tyldesley a pretty penny.
A stout fellow. So you're the newest make of Jackson, latest model, with all the modern improvements? Are there any more of you?" "Not brothers," said Mike. "Pity. You can't quite raise a team, then? Are you a sort of young Tyldesley, too?" "I played a bit at my last school. Only a private school, you know," added Mike modestly. "Make any runs? What was your best score?"
The only definite fact that could be gleaned from the match was that the junior members of the team were not to be despised in the field. The early morning field-outs had had their effect. Adams especially shone, while Wilson at cover and Burgess in the deep recalled Jessop and Tyldesley. The School made a note of the fact. So did the Bishop.
