He remembered the lacrosse match, and a little sinking feeling came into his heart as he remembered that Elizabeth was to take his place.

"I'd like to have played in the match," he thought to himself, "And it is jolly hard that the Meeting gave me that punishment for something I really didn't do-but I suppose they had to believe Elizabeth this time. I must put up with it and hope that the person who's really playing those tricks will be found out some time. Then everyone will be jolly sorry they punished me for nothing!"

He sat and thought for a while, his chin on his knees, "Elizabeth is a funny girl. She's so fierce and downright, so keen on being fair and just-and yet she's been awfully unfair to me. She might know I wouldn't play mean tricks like that. I don't like her at all."

Robert half made up his mind that he wouldn't speak to Elizabeth at all, or have anything to do with her, Then, as he thought of the lovely time he was going to have looking after the horses, his heart softened, and he couldn't feel hard even to Elizabeth! And anyway, he was going to show everyone that he could be kind just as easily as unkind.

"I know what I'll do!" he said to himself. "I'll go and watch the match-and if Elizabeth shoots a goal I'll cheer like the rest. That will be a hard thing for me to do, but I'll do it just to show everyone I can!"

Robert got up before the others in his dormitory that morning. He slipped out and went to the stables. He would talk to the two horses he was going to care for-and he would go riding over the hills on his favourite. He felt proud and important as he unlocked the stabledoor and spoke to the stableman.

"Can 1 talk to Bessie and Captain?" he asked, "I've got permission to look alter them."

"Yes, I've been told," said the man. "All right-but I'll have to oversee your work with them the first week, young man. After that, if you're all right, you can carry on."

Robert heard running footsteps and looked out into the yard. He saw Leonard and Fanny hurrying to the cow-sheds, They were going to milk the cows. They saw him and shouted:

"Hallo, Robert! Have you chosen your horses yet?"
