Death at the Excelsior

He came and talked to me after the match, and asked me what I was going to do when I left, and I said I wasnt certain, and he said that, if I hadnt anything better on, he could give me a place on his estate up in Scotland, as a sort of land-agent, as he wanted a chap who could play cricket, because he was keen on the game himself, and always had a lot going on in the summer up there. So he says that, if I go up to the Varsity for three years, he can guarantee me the place when I come down, with a jolly good screw and a ripping open-air life, with lots of riding, and so on, which is just what Ive always wanted.
