Excerpt: ...lugging in a lot of chaps to help settle some one you can''t manage yourself. I want to carry this job through on my own. Then you''d better scrap with the man. I think I will. Silver stared. Don''t be an ass, he said. I was only rotting. You can''t go fighting all over the shop as if you were a fag. You''d lose your prefect''s cap if it came out. I could wear my topper, said Kennedy, with a grin. You see, he added, I''ve not much choice. I must do something. If I took no notice of this business there''d be no holding the house. I should be ragged to death. It''s no good talking about it. Personally, I should prefer touching the chap up to fighting him, and I shall try it on. But he''s not likely to meet me half-way. And if he doesn''t there''ll be an interesting turn-up, and you shall hold the watch. I''ll send a kid round to fetch you when things look like starting. I must go now to interview my missing men. So long. Mind you slip round directly I send for you. Wait a second. Don''t be in such a beastly hurry. Who''s the chap you''re going to fight? I don''t know yet. Walton, I should think. But I don''t know. Walton! By Jove, it''ll be worth seeing, anyhow, if we are both sacked for it when the Old Man finds out. Kennedy returned to his study and changed his football boots for a pair of gymnasium shoes. For the job he had in hand it was necessary that he should move quickly, and football boots are a nuisance on a board floor. When he had changed, he called Spencer. Go down to the senior dayroom, he said, and tell MacPherson I want to see him. MacPherson was a long, weak-looking youth. He had been put down to play for the house that day, and had not appeared. MacPherson! said the fag, in a tone of astonishment, not Walton? He had been looking forward to the meeting between Kennedy and his ancient foe, and to have a miserable being like MacPherson offered as a substitute disgusted him. If you have no objection, said Kennedy, politely,... P. G. Wodehouse, Books, Fiction and Literature, The Head Of Kay's Books>Fiction and Literature The book has no illustrations or index.
