A stolen racket threatens Joel's big match
The story opens in the dormitory of Dr. Marks's school, where Joel Pepper is about to play in a tennis match against fellow pupils, with visitors from St. Andrew's watching. Floyd Jenkins, a boy who still burns from a beating Joel gave him last term, sneaks into Joel's room with Tom Beresford and takes the new racket Grandpapa King sent.
Jenkins hides it in a housemaid's closet under some cleaning cloths. Joel storms through the hall, finds a ring of boys urging him on, and fights Jenkins until the matron, Mrs. Fox, comes slapping up the stairs in her slippers. The boys scatter and drag the two fighters apart.
Here the book shows its main pattern. Joel is hot-headed, loyal and honest, and trouble finds him quickly. Tom, who helped with the theft, feels guilty and whispers where the racket lies, so the first act of kindness comes from an unexpected place.
