VII.
Charles Holcombe to Philip Renwick.
Room 83, P.Q.R. Offices,
14th August.
My Dear Phil,—I regret that I was forced to leave somewhat hurriedly after the game last night. I have nothing to add to what I told you at lunch as to the identity of the Paddlewick Spofforth with my chief, of whose sporting talent I was in ignorance. But if you should hear of a good berth going anywhere I should be extraordinarily grateful.
Yours ever, Charlie Holcombe.
P.S.—It was doubly unfortunate (in a way) that I should have scored a six and three fours in one over from his bowling.
