"Take more than a pill to make me that," growled that soured footballer. Mr Seymour's views on the school resembled those of Allardyce. Wrykyn, in his opinion, was suffering from a reaction. "It's always the same," he said, "after a very good year. Boys leave, and it's hard to fill their places. I must say I did not expect quite such a clearing out after the summer.
I did not wait to be twice bidden, and did justice to Miss Grant's citation on the way to Dean. Old Lady Allardyce walked there alone in the garden, in her hat and mutch, and having a silver-mounted staff of some black wood to lean upon.
Bowed forward and still flogging, Wee Willie Winkie shot into Afghan territory, and could just see Miss Allardyce a black speck flickering across the stony plain. The reason of her wandering was simple enough. Coppy, in a tone of too-hastily-assumed authority, had told her over night that she must not ride out by the river. And she had gone to prove her own spirit and teach Coppy a lesson.
And the truth of it is I had determined to pay a visit to Mr. Allardyce on my way home, and the wish to cut a different figure from that in which I had first appeared to the ladies of his family had entered not a little into the consideration of my new garments. Why do I say "the ladies"? Let me be honest and say 'twas Mistress Lucy I had in my mind.
Since the morning when Roger Allardyce had first addressed me, a friendship had sprung up between us, with a rapidity only possible to boys.

There were urgent and imperative reasons why Major Allardyce should not know how matters stood for at least another month, and this small marplot had discovered a great deal too much. 'I saw you, said Wee Willie Winkie calmly. 'But ve sais didn't see. I said, "Hut jao!" 'Oh, you had that much sense, you young Rip, groaned poor Coppy, half amused and half angry.
'You see, one of these days Miss Allardyce will belong to me, but you'll grow up and command the Regiment and all sorts of things. It's quite different, you see. 'Very well, said Wee Willie Winkie, rising. 'If you're fond of ve big girl, I won't tell any one. I must go now. Coppy rose and escorted his small guest to the door, adding 'You're the best of little fellows, Winkie. I tell you what.
Jevons, the Ripton captain, through having played opposite Trevor for three seasons he was the Ripton left centre-three-quarter had come to be quite an intimate of his. Trevor had gone down with Milton and Allardyce to meet the team at the station, and conduct them up to the school. "How have you been getting on since Christmas?" asked Jevons. "Pretty well.
"H'm," says he; "ye come a wee thing ahint-hand, Mr. Balfour. The bird's flown we hae letten her out." "Miss Drummond is set free?" I cried. "Achy!" said he. "What would we keep her for, ye ken? To hae made a steer about the bairn would hae pleased naebody." "And where'll she be now?" says I. "Gude kens!" says Doig, with a shrug. "She'll have gone home to Lady Allardyce, I'm thinking," said I.
