There were twenty-eight of the former, heavily built, strapping-looking fellows, and with them a small army of coaches, trainers, and supporters. Neil dug his elbow against Paul. "Look," he said, "there's your friend Brill." And sure enough, there was the Robinson coach who had visited the two at Hillton a year before and tried to get them to go to the rival college.
They waved their colors, swung their rattles, and tooted their horns for fully five minutes, while the silence among the Brill contingent was so thick it could be "cut with a knife," as Sam afterward expressed it. "It's all over," murmured Stanley with a glum look on his face. "Their eleven this year are too heavy for us." "We can't meet them in mass play, that's certain," was Dick's comment.
Jacques, is there and he will tell you so. Now, on that particular evening, it was last Friday, I had committed the mistake of eating brill, a fish that positively disagrees with me. God grant that the account of the singular dream which ensued may inspire you with some prudent reflections. Be that as it may, this was my dream, in all its extravagance.
The president of Brill shook hands cordially. "I feel that I know you young gentlemen," he said. "Your father and I were old school chums. I hope you like it here and that your coming will do you much good." "Thank you, I hope so too," answered Dick, and Sam said about the same.
Brill, a fish much inferior in quality, but sometimes introduced as turbot, must be carved in the same way. Next to turbot, a cod's head and shoulders is the handsomest dish of fish brought to table. The fish-knife must be passed through the back from 1 to 2, and then transversely in slices.
He feared to write to the Queen herself, thinking that his so doing, "while she had such conceipts of him, would only trouble her," and he therefore continued to employ the Lord-Treasurer and Mr. Secretary as his mediators. Thus he committed error upon error. Meantime, as if there had not been procrastination enough, Davison was loitering at the Brill, detained by wind and weather.
Finding a suitable spot, Tom brought the touring car to a standstill, turned off the power, and placed the starting plug in his pocket. Then the entire party made its way as rapidly as possible to the grandstand, one-half of which had been reserved for the students of Brill and their friends. Here Songbird took charge of matters. "Just leave it all to me," he said. "You fellows go in and win."
Von Warmond filled a fresh glass, saying with a slight shade of reproof in his tone: "Why, Captain, Captain, what whims are these? Before the battle of Brill I fell in jumping out of the boat and broke my sword. I soon found another, but the idea came into my head: 'you'll meet your death to-day. Yet here I sit, and hope to empty many a beaker with you."
Brill's father was wealthy and idolized his son's wife, who had given the younger man the ambition and spur his career had lacked until he met and married her. It was lovely Rose Gowdy who persuaded Steve Brill to take the job of telegraph operator, forgetting his prematurely white hair, and she who encouraged him to work his way to the top of the railroad business.
Over and above this, they were requested to deliver up the cities of Brill and Enkhuizen, Flushing and Arnemuyde. The disparity of such guarantees was ridiculous.
