EDMUND (shaking). I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. Metherell.
(They sit down, Austin commanding, the room from the club-fender.)
AUSTIN. Very busy that train we came home by last night, Metherell.
JACK. Yes, very full.
AUSTIN. I couldn't get a chance of talking to you. Now, it's about this match to-day.
JACK. Yes?
AUSTIN. You know how tremendously important it is for Blackton.
JACK. Blackton 'ull be a second division team next season.
AUSTIN. I hope not, Metherell.
JACK (without arrogance). With me playing against them?
