'Oo are you gettin' at?' replied the captain, who had taken advantage of his position to put himself in first, and was still at the wicket. 'Well, then I shan't ply,' answered Liza. 'Garn, Ernie, let 'er go in!' shouted two or three members of the team. 'Well, I'm busted!' remarked the captain, as she took his bat. 'You won't sty in long, I lay,' he said, as he sent the old bowler fielding and took the ball himself. He was a young gentleman who did not suffer from excessive backwardness. 'Aht!' shouted a dozen voices as the ball went past Liza's bat and landed in the pile of coats which formed the wicket. The captain came forward to resume his innings, but Liza held the bat away from him. 'Garn!' she said; 'thet was only a trial.' 'You never said trial,' answered the captain indignantly. 'Yus, I did,' said Liza; 'I said it just as the ball was comin'--under my breath.' 'Well, I am busted!' repeated the captain.
