( x − h )2 + ( y − k )2 = r 2 and the third degree width = 10 − 2 x; height = x . Note that each of
polynomial with equation y = ax3 + bx 2 + cx + d . these expressions must be positive. So we must
have x > 0 and 10 − 2 x > 0  x < 5, that is,
Substituting the second equation into the first
equation yields 0 < x < 5 . So the volume of the box is given by
V = ( length ) ⋅ ( width ) ⋅ ( height )
( x − h )2 + ( ax3 + bx 2 + cx + d − k )

= r2 .
= (10 − 2 x )(10 − 2 x )( x )
In order to find the roots for this equation we can

expand the terms on the left hand side of the ( x)

equation. Notice that ( x − h ) yields a 2nd degree a. In order to get a volume equal to 9 cubic feet,

we solve (10 − 2 x ) ( x ) = 9.

6th degree polynomial. Therefore, we need to find (10 − 2 x ) ( x ) = 9

will be at most six real roots. Thus, the circle and 100 x − 40 x 2 + 4 x3 = 9

( x − h )2 + ( y − k )2 = r 2 and the polynomial of

Substituting the first equation into the first equation 80
yields

In order to find the roots for this equation we can

Therefore, we need to find the roots of an equation

of degree 2n, and the Fundamental Theorem of

CHAPTER XI
Cupid puts his Pads on
I WENT home, and passed an unquiet night. I like to think myself a
person of a sturdy unemotional habit whom neither men nor affairs
can discompose; but I’m certain that every time I fell into a doze, I
was dreaming of brown holland. And when I lay awake I was thinking
of brown holland. It is very chastening when the proud are smitten in
their self-esteem. Hitherto I had held my invincibility to be quite
glorious. The most fanciful dressing of the hair, the most fearful
wonderful “creation,” the most ingratiating small talk, I delighted to
defy. It pleased me to think, that I had a mind as much above cut,
colour, carriage and address, and whole magazines of blandishment,
as any this side professed misogyny. And I was reasonably gratified
with this high behaviour. Be sure it is no little thing for a young and
pretty eligible bachelor to look, to admit, and yet to remain
impervious. There was some consensus of opinion I believe
amongst the manias of the county that young Mr. Dimsdale really
ought to settle down. You should know that young Mr. Dimsdale
having completed his education by a rather liberal course of globe-
trotting, had come home at last to play the squire at his late father’s
little place in the country. Therefore his late father’s little place was
desiring a mistress; his late father’s little income was clamouring to
be spent. His late father had been in trade it is true—he had boiled
soap, to be precise; Dimsdale’s Dirt Defier, don’t you know? But
young Mr. Dimsdale himself was so much the thing, that these
charitable ladies would never be able to forgive themselves if
through any fault of theirs he married something “impossible”—an
actress say, or one of those dreadful pushing pig-sticking Americans!
I struck a match, and looked at the time. Twenty minutes past two. I
sat up in bed, and said confidentially to the bedroom furniture:
“Damn brown holland!”
It must have been somewhat embarrassing for the bedroom furniture
I know, but then the thing was getting serious. I was beginning to
fear that something had gone wrong with the works.
Now the case would not have been quite so singular had it been a
question of a brand-new gown from Paris. But a humble countryfied
brown holland! Ah! but was it quite so humble and so countryfied?
Wasn’t there a sweeping decision in its build that had “Redfern” on it
as legibly as the box in which it came. In fact, the more I meditated
on this unpretentious brown holland, the more imposing did it grow.
By Jove! it was not half so insignificant as it seemed. In no time I had
discovered so many potential charms in its deceitful simplicity, that
presently its individuality was merged in that of its wearer. Redfern—
good people—beauty no end—weekly refusals—earls, etc.—great
cricketing family—brother going out with Stoddart—father awful big
pot—no earthly—who was I—silly ass—soap-boiler’s son—not even
invited to play for the county—out for seven—couldn’t bat for nuts—
why didn’t I go to sleep—brown holland—damn brown holland—
sleep so much more desirable—what price her eyes—what was the
name of that complexion—wonder if my batting was likely to come
on—Archie a pretty fair rustic bat—wonder why all girls didn’t wear
brown holland—Zingari colours didn’t look so dusty with that hair—
was I ever going to sleep—who said brown holland—should be sure
to see her again—Hickory Rectory was just a nice walk—why wasn’t
I a county cricketer—rather a pretty name Grace—suited her too! I
fell into another doze and dreamt of going in first with Halliday to bat
against Middlesex at Lords. I was so nervous and excited that I could
hardly walk. When I asked the umpire in a hoarse voice for my
guard, and he turned his face towards me, I saw with horrified
surprise that he wore brown holland underneath his white coat, and
that he had the voice and face of a lady. When she said, “Your bat’s
horribly wobbly; Charlie’ll get through that like fun,” the shock was
too great to be borne, and I woke up in a sweat.
I was such a dismal dog and my appetite was so delicate, that I
breakfasted on tea and toast, and actually elected to peruse a stern
indictment of the Government’s Foreign Policy in the Times rather
than the Sportsman’s account of yesterday’s county matches. I was
sick of cricket. It was such an unsatisfactory game. Besides, it was of
no service to the liver. I was certain that that important organ had
gone wrong again. Must have advice about it, and do more riding.
Sell my bats or burn them, and devote myself to polo. Capital idea!
I was sipping my tea reflectively, and tracing the strange
resemblance of its colour to the complexion of the young person in
brown holland, when the General Nuisance obtruded his hateful
presence through the open window, as his wont was, without any
ceremony whatever. He was reeking of self-satisfaction and tobacco
smoke.
“Don’t mind if I do,” said he, casting his lighted cigarette on the
carpet in a way that promised to ignite it. Pouring himself out a cup
of coffee, without waiting to be invited, he said:
“Look pretty chippy this morning, my son. Still fretting about that
l.b.w.?”
“Drink your coffee and cut,” said I, as impolitely as I could.
“Want to be alone, eh?” said he. “Why that’s a symptom. Let’s see
your tongue. And I’d better feel your pulse.”
“You’ll probably feel my boot,” said I.
“Very prettily expressed,” said the General Nuisance. Thereon he
seated himself on a corner of the breakfast-table, and seemed
certain to capsize the bacon-dish every time he swung his legs.
“Most incisive and direct.”
“Will be,” said I, not so irrelevantly as it may appear.
“I’ll prescribe for your disease,” said he.
“You can go to hell,” said I.
“Well,” said he suavely, “my prescription is in that direction too. I
want you to go and drown yourself. You’re in love.”
“Who told you?” I shouted.
How singular it was that I had not had the faintest suspicion till that
moment that love was the name of my disease! But when the
General Nuisance clapped a name upon my malady, not for an
instant did I doubt him.
“Hard that a man of your fine presence should suffer from
hallucinations,” said that glibly hateful person. “Must feel pretty
squiffy. You go and drown yourself, my pilgrim. Quite the nicest
death in summer. Water beautifully warm. Besides, you’ve got a
pretext in your l.b.w. Jury’ll bring in a ‘temporarily insane’ without any
coarse remarks. Now then, go away and die. And what an awfully
swagger corpse you’d make. They’re not always so well nourished
and full of blood, you ostentatious idiot.”
“Who told you I was in love?” said I.
“Your looks,” said he.
“Are they very descriptive?” said I apprehensively.
“Narrative powers of Dickens and Thackeray,” said he, lighting a
fresh cigarette. “Decent girl though.”
“Decent!” said I, clenching my fist in my enthusiasm; “she’s the
magnificentest girl you ever saw!”
“Strange,” said he, “how all the objects of our affection suffer from
superlatives.”
“She’s not an object,” said I fiercely, “she’s a perfect angel. If you
knew her, you’d say she was too good to live. And such eyes too!”
“Oh, Granny, what big ears you’ve got!” said he; then dropping his
tone, “you excite my fears, old chap. ’Devilish cut up to find your
nervous system in such a disorganized condition.”
“Don’t spill your phrases all over the place,” said I. “You’re not in
Parliament yet.”
“You’re putting up for Elysium, I see,” he said. “Don’t think you’ll get
in though. Rival candidates too strong.”
“Who?” I said faintly.
“Right Honourable Earl Boughey for one,” he said.
“He can’t bat though,” I said.
“His acres compensate.”
“She’s not that kind of girl,” I said quickly.
“They never are—until you get left! Then there’s the cherished,
respectable Optimist.”
“Poor old soul, he’s got no earthly!”
“How sad! But sit on your pity and keep it snug. It’ll be needed for
another, or woman has changed since my time. Don’t you know that
every sanguine temperament in the shire is similarly bent? She’s at
home the first Monday and the third Friday for the purpose of
dispatching ’em. Does ’em in detachments. As Archie pathetically
says, ‘To a peaceable and quiet mind the slaughter is distressing.’
And she’s going to be a sister to ’em all. Archie says he can’t sleep
o’ nights for thinking of his poor relations.”
“Don’t care,” said I doggedly; “she’s A 1.”
“Rather liberal-minded too.”
“The best women always are.”
“Out of the mouths of babes! But this’ll gladden you. Middlesex man,
stylish, dashing bat, fair change bowler, irreproachable field, is the
dark horse. Were you only he, the deity might deign. But as you are
merely a club-man with ambitions, be advised, and go and pack your
brain in ice. For these cases the cold water cure has the highest
testimonials. I’m speaking plain, because it pains me to see Joyous
Imbecility riding for a fall. So long as it tumbles on its head there’s no
harm done. Besides, the vanity that lives there sometimes gets a jog.
But if it drops on top of its emotions, it’s been known to write a book,
and that, my pilgrim, in the interests of humanity I feel it my duty to
discountenance.”
The General Nuisance having disposed of his piece of news, and
having trampled on my feelings as far as considerations for his
personal safety would permit, dismounted from the table in a way
that involved the overturning of the hot-water dish on to my fox
terrier, lying inoffensively on the hearthrug. Thereon he took his
leave, professing deep solicitude for my deplorable condition, and
departed to advertise it to the world.
Poets always lead one to understand that the tender passion is an
ecstatic, quick-breathing sort of thing. But in this present case of
mine it simply made me morose and brooding, with a distinct
tendency to put me off my ordinary game. Loss of appetite, a general
lassitude, moodiness, abstraction, and an instability of purpose that
would not let me do any one thing for more than five minutes at a
time, were a few of my symptoms on this memorable morning. I
loafed about the fields throughout the forenoon with no other
companion than the Rubaiyat of Mr. Rudyard Kipling—I am sure I
beg your pardon, I mean of course, the Rudyard Kipling of Mr. Omar
Kháyyám—for once despising sporting literature, as I had discovered
that sport itself was such a hollow, unsatisfying thing. On coming
back to lunch I found that my sister Mary had returned from town. To
my shame be it said I did not know whether to be glad or sorry. Mary
is a most sympathetic person, but at the same time I was craving just
now for a life of solitude.
“Had a good time?” said I, immediately on the top of the fraternal
ceremony.
“Yes, and no,” said Mary, in a way that the best girls have. Yes, to
imply that she really had had a good time; no, to suggest that she
was not insensible to her severance from a loving brother. A mere
man would have been incapable of summing up the exigencies of
the moment in this wholly admirable fashion.
“But, Ricky,” said she, placing her hands on my shoulders and
looking into my face with tremendously embarrassing intentness,
“what’s the matter with you? You look quite old and weary. You didn’t
get a duck yesterday.”
“I only got seven,” said I, seeking to creep out on a subterfuge.
“Yes, I bought a Sportsman,” said Mary. “Leg before’s very annoying,
I know, but you mustn’t let it wreck your health.”
“But mine was the only single figure,” said I, to still further disarm
suspicion.
But all this time Mary’s penetrating glance had never left my
dissembling countenance; and when she said, in a rather downright
manner, “Look here, Ricky, I don’t think it’s that at all,” I was not a bit
surprised by her profundity, although it did not prevent me looking
guilty.
“They’ve not invited you to play against Somerset next week?” she
asked, with bated breath; “because if they have I can understand it.”
“No,” I said, “they’ve not.”
“Then I think they’re very mean,” said Mary; “but what is the matter,
Ricky?”
Now Mary had a way with her that I never could resist. Besides here
is a difference between the sexes. We have only one way of getting
to know anything we want to know, and that is blunt demand; but a
woman has five thousand ways or more, mostly indirect, to make the
Sphinx unfold its bosom. Therefore it was a rule of mine to accept
the inevitable straight away in the case of Mary. Sooner or later she
was bound to catch me napping, besides, an early concession
spared us both a vast amount of trouble.
“Do you know Laura Trentham?” said I desperately.
“Oh, yes,” said Mary.
“Wouldn’t you call her no end of a nice girl?”
“She’s a very dear girl,” said Mary warmly. “Quite one of the nicest
girls I know—if she wouldn’t talk slang.”
“Slang!” said I. “Why, does she talk slang?”
“Dreadfully,” said Mary, in that tone of high reproof that the best
sisters are so fond of. “Dreadfully, Ricky. Isn’t it a pity?”
“Awful,” said I. “S’pose slangy women are awfully beastly.”
“They’re outrées,” said Mary. “Besides, men like it.”
“Don’t think they know what slang is,” said I. “S’pose it’s the same as
the split infinitive—sort o’ thing that everybody likes to jolly well jaw
about and don’t know what it is.”
“My dear Ricky,” said Mary sternly. Her eye fairly flashed with the
Higher Culture, therefore I hastened to dismiss a subject on which
she had such strong opinions.
“I met Laura Trentham yesterday, at the Hickory match, you know,”
said I guiltily.
“Hadn’t we better begin lunch?” said Mary. “Travelling’s made me so
hungry.”
It was well for Mary that her patience had no limits, for during that
meal I consumed incredible quantities of this invaluable article.
However, I felt perhaps a thought more cheerful for the energy and
colour of my language. But Mary’s last word was:
“Ricky, I’m so sorry that Laura Trentham does talk slang.”
I lost no time in seeking the open air. Indoors I breathed with
difficulty, and was, moreover, ridiculously restless. I wandered
aimlessly about the fields of sunshine, without noting in the least the
direction that I took. I meandered across blistering meadows to the
neighbouring village of Nowhere-in-Particular. A singularly
disordered mind was my one companion. And such was its condition
that I neither heeded my direction nor the landmarks by the way.
Therefore, when in the course of two hours’ rambling it suddenly
occurred to me that it would be as well to observe where I was, and
set my face for home, I should not have been very surprised to find
that I had strolled off the map of England. Where was I? There was a
low hedge directly ahead. Beyond that I could indistinctly see, trees
being intermingled with them, glass-houses, out-houses, and an ivy-
grown, ancient manor-house. Whose place was this? Next instant I
shook with hollow laughter at myself. It was Hickory Rectory, Miss
Grace’s home. This was really too preposterous. The ivy-grown
arrangement just in front was Hickory Rectory for all that. And the
family were still at home, and apparently engaged in their principal
vocation. For even as I stood girding at my own absurdity, a voice
came from the other side the hedge to this effect: “Grace, if you will
keep covering the sticks every time with your confounded skirt, you’ll
be out petticoat before.”
“Oh, shall I!” said the audacious person thus addressed. “If you can’t
bowl me, you’d better bowl for catches and get me caught. Put
Toddles on. He might get me collared in the long-field like anything.”
Although I was still applying cynical laughter to my infernal folly, I
was quite prepared to seize the opportunity of seeing great men in
private life, and that other surpassing member of their family showing
them how things should be done. Therefore I found myself gazing
with both eyes over the hedge on to the Rectory lawn. It was a single
wicket match. Grace herself was batting. A. H. was bowling slow
breaks; Captain George was keeping wicket; Elphinstone was in the
country; T. S. M., H. C., and Carteret were all disposed on the leg-
side; whilst an old, foxey-looking individual was acting in the
responsible capacity of umpire. I had not been there a minute ere
Miss Grace, in attempting a tremendous blind swipe right off her
middle over the cucumber frame at deep square-leg, was saved by
her skirt from being clean bowled.
“How’s that?” cried A. H., lustily.
“Not hout!” cried the umpire, in a tone that plainly told A. H. what he,
the umpire, thought of him as a man and a gentleman.
“Very good decision, Biffin,” said Miss Grace, calmly patting down
the turf to show that the ball had turned a bit. However, Nemesis
waited on Miss Grace next ball. With another mighty swipe she
fetched a real good one round like lightning, and the youthful T. S.
M., fielding short-leg, jumping up, effected a wonderful one-handed
catch.
“Well, what a fluke!” cried Miss Grace; “that would have been the
winning hit.”
“But isn’t,” said Elphinstone, alias Toddles, cheerfully; “and Surrey
have beaten Middlesex by two runs. First defeat of the champion
county. Oh, Stoddy, why weren’t you steadier?”
“Yes, why weren’t you steadier, Stoddy?” said Carteret.
“’Cause I didn’t think there was anybody in this parish who could
catch anything after yesterday’s exhibition,” said the famous
Middlesex batsman dejectedly.
“What’s the next fixture in the Middlesex list?” asked Captain
George.
“Middlesex v. Gloucestershire at Cheltenham,” said Miss Grace.
“Same sides. Let’s toss for innings.”
“You’ve got a man more than we, though,” said T. S. M.
“As you play for Harrow, Tommy, you count two you know,” said Miss
Grace.
“Hullo, there’s Dimsdale here,” cried H. C., as his eye lit on me. “He’s
just the man we want for Gloucester. Go round, Dimsdale, to the
gate.”
A minute later I was on the Rectory lawn, and preparing to engage in
my first county match.
“As it’s Gloucestershire,” said George the kindly, “somebody’ll have
to represent the Old Man. Now Grace herself is the only one with
any pretensions to do that. Suppose Middlesex swaps her for me?”
“Ripping good idea!” said that celebrated person eagerly. “That’s
stunning! Biffin, just go and fetch me that red and yellow cap, while I
go out and toss with Mr. Stoddart.”
CHAPTER XII
My First County Match
MIDDLESEX won the toss, and elected to go in. Archie put on his
pads and went in first, on a distinctly creditable wicket. Grace
captained Gloucestershire, of course.
“As Roberts is suffering from a strain,” said she, “and Charlie
Townsend’s lost his length, and Jessop’s a bit on the short side at
present, I think I’d better try myself to start with. Besides, I can get
old Archie out.”
She began with very slow, high-tossed, half volleys. Considering that
Archie was one of the most powerful hitters in England, this
proceeding on the part of W. G. savoured of cool cheek.
“These are no use, you know,” said the batsman, driving one
terrifically hard along the ground for a big single.
“You hit ’em and see,” said the wily bowler. “If you do, Archie, sure as
a gun you’ll put ’em through the library windows.”
Grace had shown her hand with a vengeance. The library windows
were sufficiently far away to be likely to receive one of Archie’s best
hits. It was plain that this knowledge rendered the batsman very
uneasy. Invitingly simple balls, that he would have taken a mild
pleasure in lifting into the Lords’ pavilion, he felt bound to treat with
every respect, as a momentary indiscretion was likely to have the
direst consequences. But presently the flesh was no longer to be
denied. Having patiently withstood the insidious charms of six or
seven, his self-repression suddenly gave way, and, exactly as the
bowler anticipated, smash went the ball through the library windows.
It was vain that Elphinstone, celebrated out-field as he was,
attempted to get at it. A painfully significant crashing of glass testified
to the unfailing judgment of W. G. A moment later, to the
consternation of every witness of the incident, out came the reverend
occupant of the library, spectacted and bareheaded, The Times
newspaper fluttering in his hand, and a great indignation hovering
about him generally.
“I positively won’t have it!” he cried in his deepest tones. “It’s
shameful! Do you know what that window’s worth? And are you
aware that you’ve damaged the new Encyclopædia Britannica?”
“Well, father,” said W. G. penitently, “we are all of us ever so
dreadfully sorry,” and then made haste to append, “but you know you
bought the Cycling—what-do-you-call-it—quite against my advice,
didn’t you, father? Don’t believe in these great bargains. You men
don’t either, do you?”
“Oh no, we don’t,” chimed everybody, with wonderful conviction and
unanimity.
“I knew you didn’t,” said Grace, with great enthusiasm. “I was certain
that you didn’t.”
Our extreme distrust of the Encyclopædia Britannica, considered as
an investment, grew quite noticeable.
Incredible as it may seem, however, Miss Grace’s parent did not
allow these earnestly-expressed opinions to bias his own in the
matter of window breaking. Indeed, they were as fervently uttered as
ours, and, if anything, more pointed. Nor did he abate in his
behaviour, nor did his Times cease its fluttering till he suddenly
observed the situation of the wicket, and the mighty cricketer beside
it. Thereupon the change in his demeanour was as instant as it was
welcome.
“What!” he cried, “was it hit from there? Extraordinary, most
extraordinary! Archie, let me feel that bat. And, Biffin, will you please
fetch the tape. This must be measured. Considerably more than a
hundred yards, I’ll wager.”
Next moment he was brandishing Archie’s bat, in a manner that
plainly said that this was not the first bat handle that had exercised
his grip.
“A Warsop, is it?” said the veteran. “I remember ’em. Once
remember putting old Mat Kempson out of Prince’s with one of
Ben’s. Old Matthew was annoyed. Beautifully balanced this is. Must
be every ounce of two-seven, yet it picks up like two-two.”
“It’s two-seven and a half, sir,” said Archie, with a particularly
pleased expression.
“It’s a pretty bit o’ wood,” said the old gentleman, with caresses in his
tone. “A pretty bit o’ wood. I think I’d like to try it. Laura, just send me
one along. Nice and slow, please; my eyesight’s not what it used to
be.”
This request made his daughter a very proud and happy person.
Having instructed Toddles, in imperious language, to recover the ball
at once from the library débris, and he having instantly obeyed, she
said:
“All right, father; here you are. Mind the ‘work.’ There’s an awful lot o’
stuff on,” and bowled him one of her very best. This the old
gentleman kept out of his wicket stiffly but skilfully.
“It strikes me that father can give us all a point or two yet,” said Miss
Grace, evidently charmed with the way in which he had defended his
wicket.
“He’d still be playing for Middlesex if it were not for his eyesight,”
said the best bowler in England.
“It’s my sciatica, Charlie; it’s my sciatica!” sighed the old gentleman.
“When I was your age, my boy, it was different.”
The return of Biffin with the tape measure prolonged this interruption
to the game. For it was not until old Mr. Trentham had arrived by
mensuration at the exact distance of Archie’s drive, that he retired in
high good humour to his shattered library. Even then before the
game could be resumed there was a legal argument involved.
Gloucestershire argued under “Rectory rules” that, in the event of
any batsman breaking a window, or hitting a ball over the hedge, or
sending it on to the garden twice in one innings, the said batsman
should be out. They acted on the expert advice of W. G., who, as the
irreverent Toddles said, knew every move on the board, and one or
two that were under it. Middlesex disclaimed all knowledge of the
clause in question, and T. S. M. even had the audacity to suggest
that it was an invention of W. G.’s to suit the present occasion. W.
G., of course, very indignantly denied this, and, fortunately for her
side, was able by a simple expedient to prove beyond controversy
that the attitude of Middlesex was quite inadmissible, and entirely
opposed to the best interests of the game. For, running into the
house, she triumphantly returned with a dog’s-eared and time-
stained exercise book, wherein, under rule seven, duly set forth in a
large, round, juvenile hand, it was found that Archie was most
certainly out.
“Won’t it look a bit queer, though?” said T. S. M. “A. H. Trentham,
broke window, bowled W. G. Grace, three?”
“He shouldn’t be so reckless,” said W. G. severely. “Besides, it won’t
look queerer than A. H. Trentham sent the ball on the garden twice.
The idea of Rectory rules is to sit on brute force a bit you know, and
to prop—to propa—just wait while I look in the book. Yes, here it is,
‘and to encourage the propagation and cultivation of pure science.’”
“Which rendered into modern English means,” said Carteret, who, in
his spare time, was a barrister, “that the aim of the Rectory rules is to
get the other side out as soon as ever you can, and then keep in
yourself until you’ve had enough. That’s about it, Grace, isn’t it?”
“No, James,” said that authority; “it’s just where you’re wrong. ’Cause
some people never have had enough. I’ve not for one.”
“She’s as bad as Ranjy for battin’,” said the Harrow captain. “Set’s
shillin’s on her sticks, and tempts Biffin to sweat away at ’em till he’s
set up heart disease. Dirt mean, I call it. Ought to be half-crowns for
a man his years.”
“You’re not likely to give anything heart disease in knocking tips off
your sticks, are you, Tommy?” said his sister persuasively.
Harrow liked not this at all. Therefore, when a serious flaw in
Gloucestershire’s line of argument occurred to T. S. M., his face lit up
with a sudden satisfaction.
“Perhaps Doctor William Gilbert Grace’ll tell us,” said he, dwelling
lovingly on every word, “If accordin’ to the blitherin’ rules a fellow’s
out every time he breaks a window, why she don’t go out herself
every time she breaks the cucumber frame.”
The Harrow captain ended amidst the approving shouts of
Middlesex.
“That’s amongst your timber, Willy,” said the Rev. Mr. Elphinstone,
executing a pas seul in the middle of the pitch.
“Oh, is it?” said the dauntless W. G. “You just hold on a bit. A window
is a window, and a cucumber frame’s a cucumber frame.”
“A Daniel come to judgment,” said Archie, otherwise A. E. Stoddart.
“Are there no windows in a cucumber frame then?”
“Why o’ course there’s not, Archie—I mean, Stoddy,” said W. G., in a
tone that might have been mistaken for intimidation.
“’May be wrong, you know,” said Archie; “but in my opinion panes of
glass constitute windows, if they’re fixed in a cucumber frame, just
as much as though they were in a church.”
“Stoddy, you’re talking through your hat,” said W. G. “A window’s a
thing to see out of, isn’t it?”
“S’pose it is,” said the Middlesex captain.
“Well, Stoddy,” said the triumphant W. G., “just you tell us how
cucumber frames can have windows if cucumbers can’t see.”
Great uproar from Gloucester, during which the Rev. Mr. Elphinstone
was seen to throw himself full length on the lawn, and roll about in
sheer gaieté de cœur. Even the dignified features of the Middlesex
captain were disturbed by a broad smile.
“Doctor,” he said, “they’ll have to make you a baronet yet. Oh, you
amusing person!”
“She may be a kind of conscientious objector, don’t you know?” cried
Carteret, the legal luminary, aiming ineffectual kicks at the rolling
curate. “Rather think you’d better give the doctor a certificate of
exemption, Stoddy, if Grace’ll swear solemnly on oath that she
conscientiously believes that cucumbers really cannot see by any
chance or possibility.”
The display of feeling that greeted this solution of the problem was
remarkable. The fat barrister was hailed as a legal genius.
“Well,” said Archie, screwing his features into a defiant solemnity, “if
the Old Man’ll swear by her beard that she conscientiously believes
that cucumbers really can’t see, we’ll insert a special clause into the
rules to provide for the cucumber frame.”
“But I can’t, you know, Archie,” said Miss Grace, “’cause I’ve got no
beard. But I do believe that cucumbers can’t see all the same
though.”
“This is serious,” said the unrelenting Archie. “The Old Man without
his beard is worse than Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.”
“You’ll have to swear on something, Willy, that’s a cert.,” said Charlie,
“else we shan’t believe you.”
“Somebody fetch a Bible,” said Carteret. “Now then, Toddles, you
idle little beast, why don’t you go and fetch one of your collection.”
“Let her kiss my hat,” said the little curate, suddenly sitting upright on
the grass, with a look of utter holiness that would have made his
vicar glad. “As I’m a parson, it’ll be quite the truest administration of
an oath that’s possible. Every parson carries the whole contents of
the Scriptures in the lining, all hallowed by his intellect as well. You
know it, brethren, don’t you? Besides, it’ll save me the fag of going to
the house. Yes, by all means, let her kiss my hat.”
At this suggestion, the solemnity that seized us all was really
marvellous. We had gravity enough to equip a class for confirmation.
“Jimmy, here’s my hat!” said Toddles. “Isn’t it a blessing that you’re a
commissioner for oaths—horrid awful ones they are, you fat
blasphemer!”—this in an eloquent aside.
“Here, Grace, is his hat,” said Carteret.
Miss Grace took the Rev. Mr. Elphinstone’s not very particularly
ecclesiastical Harlequin cricket cap, and looked at it with some
dubiety.
“But this is not his hat, James,” said she. “This is his Harlequin.”
“All the same,” said Carteret judicially. “Embodies much of his best
thought. Look sharp and swear, Grace! It’s a great strain on us all, I
can assure you, Doctor, even though you mightn’t think it. These
moments of high emotion always are.”
Nobody laughed I am prepared to affirm. But before Miss Grace had
the oath administered to her, she looked at the witnesses with a
keenness that inconvenienced several of them rather considerably.
She then proceeded to thoughtfully scratch her chin.
“James,” said she, in a perplexed tone, “don’t quite know, you know;
not quite sure, you know, but—but I think you’re having me.”
“Rather think you’re having us,” said Archie. “Do be quick, Grace! As
James says, you don’t know how difficult it is for us. Look at poor
Toddles worrying the grass.”
“What an emotional little man it is!” said Captain George with rare
sympathy. “And what a ghastly thing it must be to have such a high-
strung nature.”
“I think you men are laughing at me,” said Miss Grace sternly.
“She cannot understand us,” said George. “How sad it is to be
misunderstood!”
The poor soldier ended by diving suddenly and ignominiously for his
handkerchief.
“You don’t take me in,” said Grace.
“She won’t kiss Toddles’ cap,” said T. S. M., with the brutality of his
time of life, “because she thinks if she holds out long enough she’ll
be able to kiss Toddles himself.”
“Tommy!” said his sister, “if you were not so young, I should think you
were rude.”
A second later she added most uncompromisingly, “And it’s all right.
I’m not going to be had. I’m not going to kiss Toddles’s cap, if it is a
Harlequin, and if he did make a hundred against Cambridge in it.
And I’m not going to take the oath, and I’m not going to play the
giddy ox at all. Archie, you’re out, under rule seven, and out you’ve
got to go. What’s your opinion, Biffin? Is Mr. Archie out, or is he not?”
“Hout, miss,” said Biffin. “Hout, most certingly.”
“There you are!” said the Gloucestershire captain. “Next man get his
pads on. And if he’s not in in two minutes, his wicket’ll be claimed,
under rule forty-five.”
“Well, as the umpire is against me,” said Archie, “I suppose I shall
have to go. All the same, I think the M.C.C. ought to know about it.
These rules seem a bit unusual.”
“It’s ’cause you’re like the cucumbers, you know, Archie,” said W. G.
“It’s ’cause you can’t see.”
It is scarcely necessary to give a detailed narration of my first county
match. In a little over an hour the four Middlesex representatives
were disposed of for thirty-three. This was considered a small score
for the ground; but as both sides fielded, and very admirably too, and
hitting carried penalties with it, the Middlesex total calls for no
comment. Besides, the Gloucestershire captain was a remarkably
alert tactician, who knew the game of cricket perfectly well, and the
Rectory rules even better. Her placing of the field betrayed an
intimate acquaintance with the characteristics of each batsman; and
her slow bowling was perfect in length, and as full of deception as it
possibly could be. It might be true that Miss Grace had no beard; but
it did not prevent her representing W. G. in most essentials. Indeed
so much so, that when the youthful Harrow captain came in second
wicket, she was heard to remark, “Oh, he’s a young ’un, is he! I think
I can do for him.” And in addition to her other gifts, she possessed
that rare but invaluable quality in a captain, of practically dictating the
decisions of the umpire. There is no doubt that the Gloucestershire
captain was invariably conscientious in her appeals, and the umpire
equally so in his decisions. But their common faith in one another
was beautiful. If Miss Grace did make an appeal, the excellent Biffin
felt bound to endorse it. In his eyes Miss Grace’s judgment had an
absolute and sovereign rectitude. Old pro. and county man as he
was, Biffin had never an opinion of his own on any point on which
Miss Grace happened to already entertain one. And this
phenomenon in itself, I think, supplies a sufficient reason why the fair
sex has yet to be seen in serious cricket. It simply would not do.
The fielding was excellent. Miss Grace’s eye was on it, and all of us,
whether we felt inclined that way or not, performed prodigies of
valour. And if the handsomest girl in the county brings off a
bewilderingly brilliant “caught and bowled” before one’s eyes, stops
the hottest cracks one hand, and fields and returns smashing hits all
in one action, any man, with the least pretensions to be a player, is
certain to be a bit above himself. Therefore do not be surprised that
my fielding in all positions was very good indeed, and won
encomiums from men who were accustomed to the best.
“Dimsdale,” said the little curate in a low but excruciatingly friendly
tone, “you stick to that pick-up and return, and you’ve got the least
little bit of a hundredth part of a look in. Keep as clean and keen as
that, and it’s just on the cards that you may be adopted as a
candidate.”
“Candidate?” said I.
“There was a man named Comfort came over here to lunch,” said
the little curate.
This sinister reference afflicted me with an overpowering
disinclination to pursue the subject farther.
Before Gloucestershire began their innings there was an interval for
tea. There is no doubt that this question of afternoon tea has
become quite a vexed one with the counties, and as Elphinstone—or
was it Carteret?—observed, there are counties in existence who
resolutely refuse to countenance the innovation. But Gloucestershire
was never one of these. Indeed, I’ve heard it said that when
Gloucestershire are fielding, though the reason is inexplicable of
course, there is more time consumed over the cup that cheers than
on any other occasion. Therefore in this instance it was quite an
expected thing that there should be a pretty considerable interval for
tea, and that Gloucester’s captain should lead the way to a fair white
table, seductively spread in the shade of the beeches and the
chestnuts in the coolest corner of the garden. The Rectory grounds
were of no remarkable extent, but harboured a charming wilderness
with two lawns therein beautifully turfed and mown and rolled for
cricket only, to break the monotony of shrubs, trees, and flowers,
growing at their own sweet will. If this was the favoured spot in which
this famous family had been reared, and this the air they breathed,
small wonder that they played cricket as naturally as Keats wrote
poetry. They couldn’t help it. My enthusiasm demanded an outlet,
and I told Miss Grace that hers was the most delightful place I’d ever
seen.
“Yes, isn’t it just stunning!” she cried, while her glowing look
announced that her chiefest pleasure was to sing its praises. “Every
morning when I look out of my window and hear the birds kicking up
a jolly noise in the ivy, and see the dew scooting off the wicket, it
seems to come to me all at once, as if I’d never thought of it before,
that I live at just the primest place that ever was.”
“Isn’t it pretty old?” I said.
“Oh, yes,” said she. “Been in our family——”
“Since Noah,” T. S. M. rudely interposed.
“Now then,” said Toddles, “don’t Harrow your sister’s feelings.”
“Been in our family,” Miss Grace continued, ignoring these cursory
remarks with fine dignity, “since—since—oh well a long time before
cricket was invented. Been some awful swells here, too, at one time
and another. Old William Lillywhite once came here to tea. Then one
or two other awful pots have lived here—Edmund Spenser, Sir Philip
Sydney, Joseph Addison, oh! and the girl who invented round arm
bowling.”
“And the girl who invented round arm bowlin’!” said the Harrow
captain. “Now tell us somethin’ else. The girl who invented round
arm bowlin’! Grace, when you get your jaw unshipped it’s a pleasure
to sit and listen.”
“Yes it was a girl,” said Miss Grace determinedly. “The Guv’nor’s got
a picture of her in his portfolio. Her name was Willes. What a good
