"In the provost-marshal's hands?" said his friend: "then it is all over, indeed! When does my poor friend suffer, sir?" "At half-past six o'clock, the day after to-morrow," said the officer, sitting down, and helping himself to wine. "But stop," said he, suddenly; "sure I can't mistake? Yes no yes, it is. My dear friend, my dear Durand! don't you recollect your old schoolfellow, Antoine?"
Rippenger for the address of little Gus Temple's father, to invite my schoolfellow to stay a month at Riversley. Temple came, everybody liked him; as for me my delight was unbounded, and in spite of a feeling of superiority due to my penetrative capacity, and the suspicion it originated, that Temple might be acting the plain well- bred schoolboy he was, I soon preferred his pattern to my own.
The scars were still visible, caused by having been compelled to grasp the bars of the grate bare-handed; and, what was worse, he had been suspended outside a third story window by the wrists, held by a schoolfellow of thirteen! 'But what was Griff about? I demanded, with hot tears of indignation. 'Oh, Win! that's what they call him, and me Slow he said it would do me good.
This was the first instruction which I received from my client who, I may say, was a schoolfellow of mine, and in whose honor, and not only honor, but technical innocence, I have the utmost confidence."

"Judge, then, sir," said she, "how grateful I am to you for undertaking this cruel task. I was her schoolfellow, sir, and I love her dearly; but she has turned against me, and now, oh, with what horror she will regard me!" "Madam," said the doctor, "there is nothing more mean and unjust than to judge others by events that none could foresee. Your conscience is clear.
I am as ignorant of business as any child. I am not aware that I ever bought anything except books and clothes, or ever sold anything except a knife to a schoolfellow.

Remember it's between the three of us. I shan't say a word to Pawle, nor to Carless. You know there's a man's life at stake Hyde's! Hyde is as innocent as I am he's an old schoolfellow of mine."
