a quarter to four
He had an enormous reach , and he used it . Three consecutive balls from Bruce he turned into full-tosses and swept to the leg-boundary , and , assisted by Barnes , who had been sitting on the splice in his usual manner , he raised the total to seventy-one before being yorked , with his score at thirty-five . Ten minutes later the innings was over , with Barnes not out sixteen , for seventy-nine . Wrykyn had then gone in , lost Strachan for twenty before lunch , and finally completed their innings at a quarter to four for a hundred and thirty-one . This was better than Sedleigh had expected . At least eight of the team had looked forward dismally to an afternoon 's leather-hunting . But Adair and Psmith , helped by the wicket , had never been easy , especially Psmith , who had taken six wickets , his slows playing havoc with the tail .
