He's just the fellow for it, and the fellows all look up to him." "But Bloomfield's low down in the sixth," said Coates. "What's that to do with it? Felton was a muff at rowing, but he was made captain of the boats all the same while he was cock of the school." At this point another monitor entered. "Ah, Tipper," said Ashley, "what do you think Coates here is saying?
Among the last to fight their way in were Game, Ashley, Tipper, and a few other seniors, who, truants as they were, had yet, to their credit, assumed the place of danger in the rear, where the crowd pressed thickest and with most violence. A sorry spectacle were some of these heroes when finally they plunged into the playground and then turned at bay at the gate.
She was laughing at my "din tipper," just as if the calmest people did not sometimes get the first letters of their words mixed up. While she giggled and pretended to cough the old gentleman came in sight, puffing and blowing like a porpoise, and looking very warm.
As soon as silence was restored, Mr Porter wished to ask the captain of the eleven whether the team to play against Rockshire was yet settled. Mr Bloomfield. Not quite.

It was bad enough to have a coward and a fool as captain, but it's rather too much when he turns out to be a cheat too!" "And to think that he ever got stuck in the first eleven," said Tipper. "I told you, Bloomfield, he'd be no credit to you."
Not content with explaining the winds, this prototype of Franklin turned his attention even to the tipper atmosphere. "Thunder," he is reputed to have said, "was produced by the collision of the clouds, and lightning by the rubbing together of the clouds."
"What makes it that way like an onion," asked Hal, for the hail stone did look a bit like an onion that has been sliced through the centre. "It is because the hail is made up of different layers of ice," answered Daddy Blake. "It is supposed that a hail stone is a frozen rain drop.
