None Other Gods

CHAPTER I
13/60

"And is that all you have left ?" "Certainly.

I'm going to leave the clothes I've got on to you, and you can fetch the hammock when I've gone." "When do you start ?" "Mr.Guiseley will have his last interview and obtain his _exeat_ from the Dean at half-past six this evening.

He proposes to leave Cambridge in the early hours of to-morrow morning." "You don't mean that!" "Certainly I do." "What are you going to wear ?" Frank extended two flanneled legs, ending in solid boots.
"These--a flannel shirt, no tie, a cap, a gray jacket." Jack stood again in silence, looking at him.
"How much money did your sale make ?" "That's immaterial.

Besides, I forget.

The important fact is that when I've paid all my bills I shall have thirteen pounds eleven shillings and eightpence." "What ?" "Thirteen pounds eleven shillings and eightpence." Jack burst into a mirthless laugh.
"Well, come along to lunch," he said.
* * * * * It seemed to Jack that he moved in a dreary kind of dream that afternoon as he went about with Frank from shop to shop, paying bills.
