Wodehouse, P.G.: A Prefect's Uncle. v1. 1 Jul 07
Second book in the "School" series, published in 1903, continuing the adventures of St Austin's public school.
The fourth ball of the over was too wide to hit with any comfort, and the batsman let it alone. The fifth went for four to square leg, almost killing the umpire on its way, and the sixth soared in the old familiar manner into the road again. Marriott's over had yielded exactly twenty-two runs. Four to win and two wickets to fall...
Enjoy!
