In no way perturbed, Lindrum went on and on and although his progress became somewhat slower owing to the adverse running of the balls, it was not until eighty minutes had elapsed that he broke down. The ending of the break was somewhat unfortunate, the loss of the object white compelling him ultimately to set up a double baulk, but Lindrum admits he was partly which led up to it.
