"Look here, Allingford, I'll thank you not to call me a blackguard for nothing, for I suppose that's what you're driving at. If you don't think I'm speaking the truth, ask Smeaton. I suppose you'll take his word, if you won't take mine."
Allingford can't interfere with them as long as they keep to themselves. I don't know what they do, but I shouldn't be surprised if there is a rare old kick-up one of these fine days." Mischief certainly was brewing, and the "kick-up" came sooner than even Carton himself expected. Wednesday, the twenty-fourth of July, saw the whole of Ronleigh College in a state of bustle and excitement.
"Now that you are a prefect, I wouldn't give up all the privileges and the right to go out and come in when you like just because a strait-laced chap like Allingford chooses to take offence at something you do. They can't force you to resign unless they go to the doctor, and they won't do that.
"I believe you know something about this affair with Browse," he continued. "Who did it?" "Who did what?" demanded Thurston snappishly. "If you mean when he came banging at my study door last night " "No, I don't mean that," interrupted Allingford. "I mean this blackguard's trick that was played on him to-night." "I don't know what you're talking about," retorted Thurston angrily.
As for Allingford, just let him look out: it'll be my turn to move next, and there's plenty of time to finish the game between now and Christmas." It was a bright, crisp afternoon. Almost everybody hurried away to change for football. "Where's Diggy?" asked Jack Vance, as he and Mugford strolled out to the junior playing field."
Speak the truth: you're not my friend." "Allingford says we are not friends," continued the speaker, with the same eternal smile upon his lips. "I'm sorry to hear it. I know I've always tried to be his friend, ever " "You're lying!" interrupted the other sharply. "Take care, or I'll prove it!" There was a dead silence all over the room.
Look here: you were the one who proposed going into the Black Swan this morning, and when young Mouler said Allingford was coming, you slipped out of the back door and left us to face the shindy." "Well," returned the other, laughing, "I thought you chaps were going to bolt too.
The first was an interview with Allingford and Oaks in the former's study. "Well," said the captain, "you kids have done us a good turn. We were in a precious awkward box, and I don't know how we should have got out of it if it hadn't been for you." "Yes," added Oaks: "I was never more surprised at anything in my life than when Trevanock said he knew who'd done the business.
Diggory left the room, having gained something else besides the two oranges; for as he closed the door Allingford laughed again, and rising from his chair said, "He's a stanch little beggar; I think I'll keep an eye on him."
Grundy disappeared round the corner of the building; but Allingford remained for a moment or two, watching Jack Vance as he fastened on his collar and resumed his coat. "Well, what was the row about?" "Oh, nothing." "Nonsense; fellows don't fight for nothing. What was it? Any great secret?"
