"And you are grown up, and have a great deal more well, experience than I. And then you are very beautiful, and I am not," he added with a flicker of irrepressible mirth that was immediately quenched. "Yes, Tommy?" "Well I just say all that, dear old thing, so you won't think me sidey, you know." "I don't, Tommy. In fact, I have sometimes observed in you symptoms of almost radical "
Philip was ill at ease in his new surroundings, and the girls in the shop called him 'sidey. One addressed him as Phil, and he did not answer because he had not the least idea that she was speaking to him; so she tossed her head, saying he was a 'stuck-up thing, and next time with ironical emphasis called him Mister Carey. She was a Miss Jewell, and she was going to marry a doctor.
Mounting we rode rapidly home, resolved never to venture into this cave again without leaving some one at the entrance to give warning in case of danger. "John F. Sidey." The first specimen taken out was given to us on our first visit to the ranch, and is pure white with a stripe of brilliant golden yellow.
The way was clear so far as the length of the ladder, and with trust in the future soon learned in cave work that distance was at once passed, and sitting on the very narrow ledge to cogitate on the possibility of further progress, Mr. Sidey solved the problem by suggesting, rather doubtfully, that the easiest way would be to drop off and allow him to interrupt the fall.
Sidey, followed by the four of Dr. Simpson, did not end the series. A practitioner in Leith having examined in Dr. Simpson's house, a portion of the uterus obtained from one of the patients, had immediately afterwards three fatal cases of puerperal fever. Dr. Veddie referred to two distinct series of consecutive cases in his own practice.
There were indeed, for the time at any rate, no more "rags," and Peter might, an he would, have reigned magnificently over the Lower School. But he was as silent and aloof as ever, and was considered "a sidey devil, but jolly plucky, by Gad."
Of course, he had a few of his own pals, but most of the chaps rather gave him a miss. It may have been because he was a bit sidey... had rather an edge on him, you know... Personally, the reason I barred him was because he wasn't straight. You didn't notice it if you weren't thrown a goodish bit with him, of course, but he and I were in the same house, and..."
The view looking out from the entrance of White Onyx Cave is wonderfully fine, and equally so whether the rain falls or the sun shines, a timely shower giving us an opportunity to enjoy both. Before leaving the ranch, a promise was made by Mr. Sidey to write a short description of the other cave, which he kindly did, and it is here given.
