I'd sooner not go on than beg a `permit' of the captain." "I wonder what he'll say to us to-morrow," said Telson. "He won't lick us, eh?" "He'd better not," said Parson. "You and I could lick him easy." "I suppose he'll give us a howling impot. I say I'm getting fagged of impots. I've had four this week." "I've had three," sighed Telson. "Heigho! Willoughby's going to the dogs.
Whence this sudden love for Virgil? 'Impot from the Head, sir, for that mouse-business this morning. 'Rumours thereof have reached us. That was a lapse on your part into Lower Thirdery which I don't quite understand. The 'tump-tump' of the puntabouts before the sides settled to games came through the open window. Winton, like his House-Master, loved fresh air.
'Your name's on the list, Pater. Winton nodded. 'I know it. The Head landed me with an impot for that mouse-business at mechanical drawing. No excuse. 'He meant it then? Mullins jerked his head delicately towards the ground-ash on the table. 'I heard something about it. Winton nodded. 'A rotten thing to do, he said. 'Can't think what I was doing ever to do it.
"I should like to awfully," said Dunstable, "but I'm afraid I can't." And he explained Mr. Day's ingenious scheme for preventing him from straying that afternoon. "Rot, isn't it," he said. "Beastly. Wouldn't have thought old Day had it in him. But I'll tell you what," he said. "Do the impot now, and then you'll be able to start at three sharp, and we shall get in a good time on the river.
'This shall be between ourselves. 'You heard? said King, indecent pride in his voice. 'Of course. You thought he was going to get Lidgett to beg him off the impot. King denied this with so much warmth that the Head laughed and King went away in a huff. 'By the way, said the Head, 'I've told Winton to do his lines in your form-room not in his study.
I'll write out part, old man." "Thanks, Telson, you're an awful brick. I suppose Riddell wouldn't think it wicked of you to write another fellow's impot, would he?" "I half fancy he would; but I won't tell him. Hullo! though, here comes Coates." A monitor wearing his "mortar-board" approached. "Where's your imposition, Parson?" he asked.
I called attention to the failure of his paper, not in a spirit of rejoicing over its downfall, but simply to accentuate the fact, after giving some years to consideration of his rather pretty platitudes, that people condemned them that his heroic attempt to reclothe with living flesh the bones of the impot unique had proven a dismal failure.
''Notice anything wrong with my beak? Stalky replied. 'Pater went Berserk after call-over, and fell on a lot of us for jesting with him about his impot. You ought to see Malpass's eye. 'You mean that Pater fought? said Mullins. 'Like a devil. Then he nearly went to sleep in our study just now. I expect he'll be all right when he wakes up. Rummy business! Conscientious old bargee.
"Look here, I've half a mind to give you two a jolly good 'impot' to keep you out of mischief. Now stop it, d'you hear, or I'll send both your names in to Denson." Fletcher and Andson had already beaten a retreat, and Grundy was preparing to follow, when Allingford called him back. "Come," he said, in a kinder tone.
The edicts, relative to the corvees and free circulation of grain, were first presented to the Parliament and registered; but those for the impot territorial, and stamp tax, offered some time after, were refused by the Parliament, which proposed a call of the States General, as alone competent to their authorization.
