(Cheers and cries of 'Don't go.') The comfort is, you'll have a rattling good captain in Mansfield when I'm gone.

(Cheers and a few howls.) I don't wonder some of the young 'uns howl, for he'll make some of you sit up, which I could never do.

(Great laughter among the Seniors, and signs of dissension in the Den.) But I've not got to make a speech.

There's a lot of business.
