And on each side of old Brooke, who is now standing in the middle of the ground and just going to kick off, you see a separate wing of players-up, each with a boy of acknowledged prowess to look to--here Warner, and there Hedge; but over all is old Brooke, absolute as he of Russia, but wisely and bravely ruling over willing and worshipping subjects, a true football king.

He himself, and Warner and Hedge, who have saved themselves till now, will lead the charges.

Again and again the cloud of their players- up gathers before our goal, and comes threatening on, and Warner or Hedge, with young Brooke and the relics of the bull-dogs, break through and carry the ball back; and old Brooke ranges the field like Job's war-horse.

Warner picks East up lame and half stunned, and he hobbles back into goal, conscious of having played the man.

Warner and Hedge have met them, but still on they come.
