"What!" cried Sheen. The absolute novelty of the idea, and the gorgeous possibilities of it, made him tingle from head to foot. Aldershot! Why hadn't he thought of it before!
"If they are caught, there'll be a row." "We must catch 'em," said Moriarty. Like O'Hara, he revelled in the prospect of a disturbance. O'Hara and he were going up to Aldershot at the end of the term, to try and bring back the light and middle-weight medals respectively.
He may be captured, or he may be killed. He may go to Aldershot to-morrow, despite all your plans. You know he intends to go.
