CHAPTER XXVI 

THE AFTERMATH 

Bad news spreads quickly. By the quarter to eleven interval next day the facts concerning Wyatt and Mr. Wain were public property. Mike, as an actual spectator of the drama, was in great request as an informant. As he told the story to a group of sympathisers outside the school shop, Burgess came up, his eyes rolling in a fine frenzy. 

"Anybody seen young--oh, here you are. What's all this about Jimmy Wyatt? They're saying he's been sacked, or some rot." 

[Illustration: "WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT JIMMY WYATT?"] 

"So he has--at least, he's got to leave." 

"What? When?" 

"He's left already. He isn't coming to school again." 

Burgess's first thought, as befitted a good cricket captain, was for his team. 

"And the Ripton match on Saturday!" 

Nobody seemed to have anything except silent sympathy at his command. 

"Dash the man! Silly ass! What did he want to do it for! Poor old Jimmy, though!" he added after a pause. "What rot for him!" 

"Beastly," agreed Mike. 

"All the same," continued Burgess, with a return to the austere manner of the captain of cricket, "he might have chucked playing the goat till after the Ripton match. Look here, young Jackson, you'll turn out for fielding with the first this afternoon. You'll play on Saturday." 

"All right," said Mike, without enthusiasm. The Wyatt disaster was too recent for him to feel much pleasure at playing against Ripton _vice_ his friend, withdrawn. 

Bob was the next to interview him. They met in the cloisters.
