Excerpt from The Willoughby Captains The dejected countenances of the two heroes is answer enough. Watkins won, says Parson, speaking in a subdued voice. The fact is, my shoe-lace came undone just when I was putting it on at the end. And the swindle is, puts in Telson, that just as I was spurting for the last twenty yards Watkins took my water.

The Willoughby Captains Volume 1 By Talbot Baines Reed Wyndham, the old captain, as he now was--for this was his last appearance at the old school--was not the sort of fellow to get his head turned by anything if he could help it.

Boys waylaid his door and the schoolhouse gate for a full hour ready to cheer him when he came out; but he knew better than to gratify them and finally they went off and lionised Bloomfield instead, who bore his laurels with rather less indifference.
