Boys stood up and clapped frantically , not a few seizing their neighbours and pummelling them with clenched fists on the back . Pennybet , sitting beside Doe , shook hands with him and with a couple of undemonstrative old gentlemen , whom he had never seen before . They seemed a little overawed , as he wrung their hands .

Now the only question was : would the school be able to beat them by an innings , and so crown their glorious season ?
