We were all right for the "sinews of war" for a day or two, anyhow! The Henniker kept it up till the last, and distributed her favours lavishly and impartially all round.

But we heeded it not; we even enjoyed it, for were not we to have our innings next?
It seemed as if morning school would never end.
