Prout's pets," said McTurk a little bitterly. "We aren't even sub-prefects." "I've considered that, but on the other hand, since most bullying is mere thoughtlessness " "Not one little bit of it, Padre," said McTurk. "Bullies like bullyin'. They mean it. They think it up in lesson and practise it in the quarters." "Never mind. If the thing goes up to the prefects it may make another house-row.
That's all." "Well, that's awfully good of you," said Stalky, "but we happen to have a few rights of our own, too. You can't, just because you happen to be made prefects, haul up seniors and jaw 'em on spec., like a house-master. We aren't fags, Carson. This kind of thing may do for Davies Tertius, but it won't do for us." "It's only old Prout's lunacy that we weren't prefects long ago.
So they went through Flanders and Germany, following Prout's lead by the castles of the Rhine; but at last, at Schaffhausen one Sunday evening "suddenly behold beyond!" they had seen the Alps.
What's the fun of it?" said McTurk. "It will go on to the end of the term, though," Beetle wagged his head sorrowfully. He had worn many jests threadbare on his own account. In a few days it became an established legend of the school that Prout's house did not wash and were therefore noisome. Mr.

"I thought you knew," answered Joyce. "Miss Allison arranged it all last night. You know she goes up to Prout's Neck, in Maine, for awhile every summer, and this year Allison and Kitty are going with her. She has offered to take me under her wing all the way, and has arranged her route to go right past the place where the summer art school is, on Cape Cod coast.
This, again, is a part of the great system of treatment which I shall hereafter call "Proutism;" much of what is thought mannerism and imperfection in Prout's work, being the result of his determined resolution that minor details shall never break up his large masses of light. § XXX. Such are the main principles to be observed in the adaptation of ornament to the sight.
Prout's imagination leaned to the darker side of life, and he looked on those young-eyed cherubims most sourly. Boys that he understood attended house-matches and could be accounted for at any moment.
When Prout's house understood that he would claim his Old Boy's right to a bed for one night, Beetle ran into King's house next door and executed a public "gloat" up and down the enemy's big form-room, departing in a haze of ink-pots.
