Your class, Darry, would lose caste with the fellows here if it allowed such an insult to go." "Well, if it gets around, I suppose some sort of action will have to be taken." "The second class, under the circumstances, can't do much less than send Jetson to Coventry." "Oh, that would be too much!" Dave protested generously. "Jetson has always been an honorable, square fellow in the past."
"Mighty sweet looking girl you have with you, Darry," observed the first classman, though he took pains not to betray too much enthusiasm. "Right!" nodded Dave. "You'll present me, won't you?" "Assuredly, as soon as I come back. I have a little commission to attend to." "And you might be extremely kind, Darry, and write me down for a couple of numbers on Miss "
Yet, when they strolled together in the open air during the brief recreation period following the meal, Dalzell suddenly asked: "Dave when do you fight with Treadwell?" "To-night, I hope," replied Darrin. "Oh, then I must get busy!" "Why?" "Why, I'm to represent you, Darry. Who are Treadwell's "
And I had not Darry and my pony, which indeed, the latter, had been of small use to me this year; and I had not my band of friends on the Sunday evening; and even my own maid Margaret aunt Gary had chosen to leave behind. Miss Pinshon's reign was absolute. I think some of the Medusa properties Preston used to talk about must have had their effect upon me at this time.
"Well, he qualified the statement, but his way of saying it was as offensive as the direct lie could have been." "So you're bent on fighting Darry?" "I am." "Too bad!" muttered Hallam, shaking his head. "Are you anxious for your idol?" asked Pen in a disagreeable tone. "No, Penny; it's you that I'm concerned about in my own mind. You're going next to a very hard proposition.
"Come down with you, Hazy, and begin to share the delights of this walking match!" The change of drivers made, Dick & Co. plodded on again. "It seems to me that we ought to put on more speed," suggested Dave Darrin. "Are you in a hurry to get somewhere, Darry?" drawled Tom Reade.
I thought at first I should have to build a place to hold our gatherings in; the home kitchen was not a quarter large enough. But Darry told me of an empty barn not far off, that was roomy and clean. By virtue of my full powers I seized upon this barn.
"I feel like a fellow without any manners," complained Dave Darrin. "What have you done now?" asked Greg, coming out of his million-dollar trance. "It's what I haven't done," Darry answered. "It's also what none of us have done. We haven't thanked our very pleasant, even if slightly erratic, host for his entertainment." "We can't very well butt in," declared Reade, glancing down the street.
"Who asked you to speak?" inquired the rah-rah youth mockingly. "I am a friend of the young lady, and she finds your presence an intrusion," replied Darry, controlling himself by a mighty effort. "All guests of the hotel are supposed to be acquainted," urged the rah-rah youth, reddening a trifle. "These young ladies do not wish to recognize you and your friends as acquaintances," replied Dave.
Anything very urgent among that stuff, Darry?" "Nothing," replied his young assistant. "You can go home, then," directed Bart. "Pretty tired, eh? A big day's work, this."
