a quarter to seven
Then came another long stand , against which the Beckford bowling raged in vain . At five o'clock , Charchester by that time having made two hundred and forty-one for two wickets , the left-hander ran into three figures , and the captain promptly declared the innings closed . Beckford 's only chance was to play for a draw , and in this they succeeded . When stumps were drawn at a quarter to seven , the score was a hundred and three , and five wickets were down . The Bishop had the satisfaction of being not out with twenty-eight to his credit , but nothing less than a century would have been sufficient to soothe him after his shocking bowling performance . Pringle , who during the luncheon interval had encountered his young friends the Ashbys , and had been duly taunted by them on the subject of leather-hunting , was top scorer with forty-one . Norris , I regret to say , only made three , running himself out in his second over .
