And he proceeded to stroll across the room to look at a picture. Blandford and Pillans exchanged glances. Wrath was in the face of the one, bewilderment in the face of the other. "Who's your friend?" whispered the latter. "An old schoolfellow who " "Nice lot of fellows you seem to have been brought up with, upon my word," said Mr Pillans. "I suppose he'll be up for Christmas," pursued Horace.
Then on the remote hill of this boundless city-world I found Ewart. How well I remember the first morning, a bright Sunday morning in early October, when I raided in upon Ewart! I found my old schoolfellow in bed in a room over an oil-shop in a back street at the foot of Highgate Hill.
While we were wringing our coy sprightlinesses for the Post, and writhing under the toil of what is called "easy writing," Bob Allen, our quondam schoolfellow, was tapping his impracticable brains in a like service for the "Oracle." Not that Robert troubled himself much about wit. If his paragraphs had a sprightly air about them, it was sufficient.
I wonder if the rascal is alive an elderly scoundrel he must be by this time; and a hoary old hypocrite, to whom an old schoolfellow presents his kindest regards parenthetically remarking what a dreadful place that private school was; cold, chilblains, bad dinners, not enough victuals, and caning awful!

In some ways Timmy was older now than Tom would ever be. Timmy went on into the dining-room to find his brothers and sisters all gathered there excepting Dolly.
A letter to her old Brussels schoolfellow gives a short retrospect of the dreary winter she had passed through. "Haworth, April 12th, 1852. ". . . I struggled through the winter, and the early part of the spring, often with great difficulty. My friend stayed with me a few days in the early part of January; she could not be spared longer.
Poulain, drawing himself up like Valerius Publicola. "Let us have no more of that. I have a friend, an old schoolfellow of mine, a very intelligent young fellow; and we are so much the more intimate, because, our lives have fallen out very much in the same way. He was studying law while I was a house-student, he was engrossing deeds in Maitre Couture's office.
