'Idiot, said Marriott after him as the door closed. 'I don't know, though, he added to himself. And, pouring himself out another cup of tea, he pondered deeply over the matter. Reece heard the news without emotion. 'You're a good sort, Bishop, he said, 'I knew something of the kind must have happened. It reminds me of a thing that happened to
The fact of the matter was that, with the exception of Gethryn, Marriott, a boy named Reece, who kept wicket for the School Eleven, and perhaps two others, Leicester's seniors were not a good lot.
