The school, and especially the upper boys, will remember what I have said. I shall now tear down the insulting notice, and put it into your hands, Avonley, as head of the school, that you may make further inquiries." He left the room, and the boys resumed their usual avocation till twelve o'clock.
Culbrett thought it possible that Cecil had been a little more than humorous in the part he had played in the dispute, and spoke to him. Then it came out that Lord Avonley had also delivered an ultimatum to Beauchamp.
A practical 'tu quoque' is astonishingly laughable, and backed by a high figure and manner it had the flavour of triumphant repartee. Lord Avonley did not speak of it as a retort upon Nevil, though he reiterated the word Apology amusingly.
The leaden look in Beauchamp, noticed by Cecilia Halkett in their latest interview, was deepening, and was of itself a displeasure to Lord Avonley, who liked flourishing faces, and said: 'That fellow's getting the look of a sweating smith': presumptively in the act of heating his poker at the furnace to stir the country.
Let all the boys take their seats quietly down the room." They did so, and Avonley asked, "Is Williams here?" Looking round, they discovered he was not. Russell instantly went to the library to fetch him, and told him what was going on. He took Eric's arm kindly as they entered, to show the whole school that he was not ashamed of him, and Eric deeply felt the delicacy of his goodwill.
A perfect yell of scorn and execration followed this announcement. "What! you did it, and caused all this misery, you ineffable blackguard!" shouted Upton, grasping him with one hand, while he struck him with the other. "Stop!" said Avonley; "just see that he doesn't escape, while we decide on his punishment."
Do you think that you can be trusted to carry on the investigation publicly, with good order and fairness?" "I think so, sir," said Avonley. "Very well. Put up a notice, asking all the school to meet by themselves in the boarders' room tomorrow afternoon at three, and see what you can do among you." Avonley did as the Doctor suggested.

You're the old infidel's Amen clerk. It would rather astonish orthodox congregations to see clerks in our churches getting into the pulpit to read the sermon for sick clergymen, said Lord Avonley. His countenance furrowed. 'I'll pay that bill, he added. 'Pay down half a million! thundered Beauchamp; and dropping his voice, 'or go to him. 'You remind me, his uncle observed.
