v.] HIARRY’S DREAM. 279

 

much of the matter as Ido. I know that the dream
(if dream it was, which I very much doubt) did Harry
a great deal of good. True it is, he could never look
at old Watkins without laughing at the idea of his
head being stuck as an annual in the little brown
gentleman’s flower-beds, but at the same time he
never ‘confounded,’ the worthy man again, and
whilst unable invariably to respect him as an umpire,
always gave him credit for good intentions, and for-
bore to question his decisions even when they resulted
so unpleasantly to himself as on the occasion of the
Prye and Northwell match. And this is all I can
at present tell you about the meeting between Harry
Sanderson and the Little Brown Gentleman.
