_Charles Holcombe to Philip Renwick._
Room 83, P.Q.R. Offices,
_14th August._
MY DEAR PHIL,--I regret that I was forced to leave somewhat hurriedly
after the game last night. I have nothing to add to what I told you at
lunch as to the identity of the Paddlewick Spofforth with my chief, of
whose sporting talent I was in ignorance. But if you should hear of a
good berth going anywhere I should be extraordinarily grateful.
Yours ever,
CHARLIE HOLCOMBE.
P.S.--It was doubly unfortunate (in a way) that I should have scored a
six and three fours in one over from his bowling.
