a quarter past seven
We might do it yet . Thirty minutes of that last hour passed , and in them forty runs were scored at a cost of three wickets . So there was half an hour left to play , two wickets in hand , and thirty runs to get . The ninth man failed at a quarter past seven , leaving the score at 225 . It rested , then , with Radley and the last man to make 25 in fifteen minutes and a bad light . The schoolboy crowd was suffering ; and , when Radley smote Honion for a six , the suffering became agony . Some drastic step must be taken .
