Mr. Launcelot Lowndes, M.A., the "head" of St. Benedict's at Westbourne received a letter from a Captain Sorrell who appeared to be staying at the Pelican Hotel--Winstonbury. The letter had been written on the hotel notepaper, and by the hand of an educated man.
Mr. Lowndes promptly replied to it. He sent Captain Sorrell a booklet on St. Benedict's with photos of the school playing-field, the gymnasium, the chapel, the type of dormitory that was used, and the infirmary. He gave Captain Sorrell all the necessary information as to fees, and they were heavy. The extras connected with the school games amounted to a considerable figure. St. Benedict's engaged the services of a games master who was an old Oxford "blue."
