-You know I think Meredith goes a bit too far at times, - came a voice from the middle of the room. Bradford rose at once. -What the hell do you mean? Meredith go too far? Why, he is a splendid wicket-keeper, and far and away the finest half-back in the school. You must allow a good deal to a blood like him.- -Oh, I know he is a magnificent athlete and all that, but don't you think he does rather a lot of harm in the House?- -Harm? Who to?- -Well, I mean there's Davenham now and--- -Davenham - came the scornful retort. -What does it matter what happens to Davenham? He's absolutely useless to the House, rotten at games and spends his whole time reading about fossils. Who cares a curse about Davenham - -Oh, I suppose you are right, but--- -My dear ass, of course I am right. Meredith is a simply glorious fellow.
