Bill's
Story
"When
he
pretended
to
go
for
a
doctor,
he,
really
only
slammed
the
door
and
then
erept
quietly
up
stairs
and
hid
behind

door
of
this
room,
where
Miss
Wade
would
presently
send
you
up
on
some
ex

Mr.
Everaleigh,
of
course,
was
horrorttruck
when
he
saw
you,
but
he
thought
it
best
to
keep
up
the
part
he
was
playing.
He
knew
our
people
were
watching
the
house,
and
he
imagined
that
there
was
no
immediate
danger
intended
to
you.

When

He
paused,
looking
at
Bill.
"Perhaps
you'd
like
to
tell
that,
sir."
"I
was
still
tying
on
that
bally
sofa,"
aaid
Bill,
"trying
to
look
done
in
and
getting
the
fidgets
worse
and
worse.
Then
I
heard
some
one
run
dawn

stairs,
and
Loralne
got
up
and
went
to

door.
I
heard

voice,
but
not

I
heard
Loralne
say:
"That's
all
right
it's
gone
splendidly.'
Then
he
said:
'Help
me

up.
It
will
be

"But

I
don't

Bundle.
You
told
me
that
young
Thesiger
was

and
from
all
I
hear
now
It
seems
that
he
was

efficient

"The
sad
thing
is
I
never

I
was
thinking
of
writing
my
reminiscences
soon
with
a
special
chapter

And
by

I
never

"Dont

said

"You

haven't

the
en

to
write

or
any

"I
wasn't
actually
going
to
write

myself,"
said
Lord
Caterham.
"I
believe
that's
never
done.
But
I
met
a
very
charming
girl
the
other
day
and
that's
her
special

She
collects

material
and
does
all

And
what
do

Oh,

Lord

said:
"She

"Father,"

"I
have

feeling
that

you
will
run
Into

danger."

Jim

of

He
Is
dumbfounded
at
the
lightning
fame
that
present-day
unknowns
achieve
with
scarcely
a

to

for

Cor

who

from

complex,
does
not
begrudge
modern

their
short
cuts
to
renown.
The
situation
merely
bewilders
him,
brings
a
keen
realisation
of
the
immense
change
the
fight
game
has
exper
ienced
since
the
iron
days
of
long
ago.
"Gosh,
it's

isn't
it,
how
these
fellows
Jump

brities
over

without

anything
to
speak
of?"
exclaimed
the
veteran,
who
looks
almost
fit
to
I
fight
Schmeiing
this
very
moment.
"Half
of
them
don't
know
a
darn
thing
about
boxing,
and
would
have
been
accounted
mere
fifth-raters
in
the
old
days.
Yet
the're
talked
of
in
the
same
breath
with
the
great
fighting
men
and
make
fortunes
that
would
dazzle
the
champs
of
my
day."
"Take
this
fellow
Schmeiing,
for
instance.
Now
there's
a
chap
who
looks
pretty
good,
no
doubt.
But
what
has
he
done?
Who
has
he
licked
that
amounted
to
anything?
He
whipped
two
mediocre
boxers
and
then
knocked
out
this
Risko
ehap,
who
everybody
knows
was
'washed
up.'
When
you
analyze
the
thing
you've
got
to
confess
the
man
has
not
done
anything
yet.
I'm
not
saying
he
won't
amount
to
some
thing
some
day.
Maybe
bell
be
champion
of
the
world
for
all
I
know.
That's
not
what
I'm
driving
at.
The
fact
remains
that
he
hasn't
done
anything
and
is
everywhere
being
acclaimed
as
a
sure
world
beater."
"How
would
I
rate
the
German
right
now?
That's
easy.
I
don't
think
he's
the
greatest
living
fighter
yet,
not
by
a
long
shot.
What
I'd
call
him
right
now
Is
Just
an
interesting
prospect.
That
Is
really
all
the
fellow
Is,
but
how
the
papers
rave
about

Maybe
you

of
today
have
a
sharper
vision
than
the
scribes
of
my
time,
and
all
this
noise
about
Schmeiing
may
be
justified.
But
it's
hard
to
convince
me
of
that.
Why,
do
you
know,
'I
