Extract: Tom Merry’s Conquest

 

Marmaduke Smythe has been beaten-up by boys at a rival school and now his housemaster is demanding he names the culprits so that a complaint can be made to their headmaster and they be duly punished. Marmaduke doesn’t want to sneak on them and gets a caning.

This extract is from the story Tom Merry’s Conquest, by Martin Clifford (a writer better known as Frank Richards of Billy Bunter fame) and was published in Boy Friend’s Library, No 38, which was originally published in 1908 and is online here.
