Having been recklessly tossed, it came down into the fire. When it went in, it was dark blue; but when Harry dashed into the flames in consternation to save it, it came out of a rich brown colour. "Now, youngster," said Mr. Park, "when you've done capering, I should like to ask you one or two questions. What brought you here?" "A canoe," said Harry, inclined to be impudent.
Watts is the chief, I know, but 'oo is Mr. Philip Hozier?" "Youngster fillin' in sea-service to get a ticket an' qualify for the Cunard." "Thoroughly reliable sort of chap, eh?" "The best." It was odd how these men left unsaid the really vital things. Again it was Coke who tried to fill in some part of the blank space. "Just the right kind of second for the Andromeda's last cruise," he muttered.
The humiliation and disgrace which the stammering child must undergo on the way to school, in the school-yard and on the way home again, is a tremendous force in the life of the youngster a force which may seriously impede his mental development, his physical welfare and his progress in school.
He concluded that they thought it was cheeky of a youngster like him to think that a man like Chev could be his friend; and if that was the way they felt, he reckoned he'd jolly well better shut up about it.

Then he added quickly: "Look here, youngster, what right have you to send that girl away from here?" "A brother's right," replied Rex promptly. "Whew!" whistled Stout under his breath, and he turned to Driscoll, the friend with whom he had come in. "Say, Sammy," he whispered, "what position does this chap hold in the place?" "He's the manager's son," was the reply.

This suited the youngster perfectly, and it ceased crying and began to look about with great interest.
A dozen times the youngster scrambled up rough portions that offered a slight footing, but each time he slipped back bruised and battered. He would listen to no arguments. The desire to get to the mouth of the cavern, and kill Leith before the morning, had produced an insanity, and we crawled and climbed along the face of those basalt cliffs in a manner that chilled my spinal marrow.
