can't think how the luck went against me. Everybody says they
never saw such cards.
'And now do tell me how I am to get out of it. Could you manage it
with Mr Morton? Of course I will make it all right with you some
day. Morton always lets you have whatever you want. But perhaps
you couldn't do this without letting the governor know. I would
rather anything than that. There is some money owing at Oxford
also which of course he must know.
'I was thinking that perhaps I might get it from some of those
fellows in London. There are people called Comfort and Criball,
who let men have money constantly. I know two or three up at
Oxford, who have had money from them. Of course I couldn't go to
them as you could do, for, in spite of what the governor said to
us up in London one day, there is nothing that must come to me.
But you could do anything in that way, and of course I would stand
to it.
'I know you won't throw me over, because you have always been such
a brick. But above all things don't tell the governor. Percival is
such a nasty fellow, otherwise I shouldn't mind it.
