Don't bear malice, Stalky." "Stalky? Curse your impudence, you young cub," shouted Stalky, magnificent in top-hat, stiff collar, spats, and high-waisted, snuff-colored ulster. "I want you to understand that I'm Mister Corkran, an' you're a dirty little schoolboy." "Besides bein' frabjously immoral," said McTurk. "Wonder you aren't ashamed to foist your company on pure-minded boys like us."

Prout's house at the recent meeting in Number Twelve form-room, and the House hereby pass a vote of censure on the said study. That's all." "And she bled all down my shirt, too!" said Beetle. "An' I'm catty all over," said McTurk, "though I washed twice." "An' I nearly broke Beetle's brolly plantin' her where she would blossom!" The situation was beyond speech, but not laughter.

You recommend this you recommend that! You say how and when we go back to our study!" "But but we thought you'd like it, Turkey. We did, indeed. You know you'll be ever so much more comfortable there." Harrison's voice was almost tearful. McTurk turned away as though to hide his emotions. "They're broke!" He hunted up Stalky and Beetle in a box-room. "They're sick!

The sentence ended in a grunt, for Stalky had leaped out of bed and with McTurk was sitting on the head of Beetle, who would have sprung the mine there and then. Next day, which was the last of the term and given up to a few wholly unimportant examinations, began with wrath and war. Mr.

Let's promote all the Second Fifteen and make Big Side play up. There's heaps of talent somewhere that we can polish up between now and the match." The case was represented so urgently to the school that even Stalky and McTurk, who affected to despise football, played one Big-Side game seriously.

Turkey, you'd better covet a butterfly-net from somewhere." "I'm blowed if I do," said McTurk, simply, with immense feeling. "Beetle, give me the hammer." "All right. I'm not proud.

They spent all their spare time stealing at St. Winifred's, when they weren't praying or getting drunk at pubs. Well, that was only a week ago, and the Head's a little bit shy of us. He called it constructive deviltry. Stalky invented it all."

"I knew you'd make a sort of extra-tu of it, you cold-blooded brute," said McTurk. "Don't you want to die for your giddy country?" "Not if I can jolly well avoid it. So you mustn't rot the corps." "We'd decided on that, years ago," said Beetle, scornfully. "King'll do the rottin'." "Then you've got to rot King, my giddy poet. Make up a good catchy Limerick, and let the fags sing it."
