But all I can say is that if I'd been collared in a similarly disgustin' situation, and had offered the same explanation Tulke has, I I wonder what you'd have said. However, it seems on Tulke's word of honor " "And Tulkus beg pardon kiss, of course -Tulkiss is an honorable man," put in Stalky.

"How are we goin' to jest with 'em?" said Stalky, turning half-face to Beetle. "It's your play this time!" "Look here," was the answer, "all I want you to do is not to laugh. I'm goin' to take charge o' young Tulke's immorality a' la King, and it's goin' to be serious. If you can't help laughin' don't look at me, or I'll go pop." "I see. All right," said Stalky.

"Then cut along and call a prefects' meeting," said McTurk, knowing Tulke's weakness. The prefect became inarticulate with rage. "Mustn't yell at the Fifth that way," said Stalky. "It's vile bad form." "Cough it up, ducky!" McTurk said calmly. "I I want to know what you chaps are doing out of bounds?" This with an important flourish of his ground-ash. "Ah," said Stalky. "Now we're gettin' at it.

"Well, you chaps deserve a lickin'," cried one Naughten incautiously. Then was Beetle filled with a noble inspiration. "For interferin' with Tulke's amours, eh?" Tulke turned a rich sloe color. "Oh, no, you don't!" Beetle went on. "You've had your innings. We've been sent up for cursing and swearing at you, and we're goin' to be let off with a warning! Are we? Now then, you're going to catch it."

"Now they'll tell the whole school and Beetle'll make up a lot of beastly rhymes and nick-names." "But, hang it, she kissed me!" Outside of his work, Tulke's mind moved slowly. "I'm not thinking of you. I'm thinking of us. I'll go up to their study and see if I can make 'em keep quiet!" "Tulke's awf'ly cut up about this business," Naughten began, ingratiatingly, when he found Beetle.

"We are compelled, of course, to accept your statement." "Confound it!" roared Naughten. "You aren't head-prefect here, McTurk." "Oh, well," returned the Irishman, "you know Tulke better than we do. I am only speaking for ourselves. We accept Tulke's word.
