Joseph Dacre, housemaster in How Paine Bucked Up,
The Babe and the Dragon, Welch's Mile Record,
Harrison's Slight Error, and
other tales of St Austin's, has a finished gift of sarcasm.
Engaged to Florence Beezley in The Babe and the Dragon.
In The Lost Bowlers he is curate
of a parish and a cricket team at Marvis Bay, Devonshire.
Played for Cambridge in the nineties, and is still a sound
and pretty bat of the Jimmy Douglas type.
