Although, for instance, he was not successful in athletics, he was a regular member of the Sports Committee, and worked with intense enthusiasm for the success of Sports-Day.

And, another instance; as a memento of their favourite, the butler of B.-P.'s house and his wife saved a part of the dress he wore in his last theatrical performance.

When the news came of the relief of Ladysmith this garment was drawn forth from the back of a drawer and used as a flag of rejoicing, and as I write it is being jealously guarded to be hung out from the school windows when the little boy who wore it is delivered from his glorious prison of Mafeking.
This butler has a very vivid recollection of Baden-Powell.

He remembers him as a boy "up to mischief," but too much of a gentleman ever to go beyond proper bounds.

His mischief was of the harmless nature, and he was never "shown up" for a row of any description.
