`` Joe , '' the Rhodes Scholar hero , had shown a vein of fine gold under Blair 's hands : he bade fair to win the charming Kathleen , although the story had not been finished owing to the examinations which had fallen upon the brotherhood toward the end of term . The game , begun in pure jest , had taken on something of romantic earnest : there was not one of these young men who did not see in Kathleen his own ideal of slender , bright-cheeked girlhood . And when the train pulled into Wolverhampton , they tumbled out of their smoking carriage with keen expectation . Perhaps the best way to pursue the next episodes in the quest is in the words of Johnny Blair , the Rhodes Scholar , who jotted down some notes in a journal he kept : We got to Wolverhampton 12:25 , Ingersoll time . Had a jolly trip on the train , all the Scorps laying bets as to who would be first to meet Kathleen . I lay low , but did some planning . Did n't want to let these English blighters get ahead of me , especially after all the ragging Indiana Joe got in the story .
