There was a good attendance, scores of the Milton lads being there, as well as many persons from the town and surrounding hamlets. Our friends found seats about the middle of the house. It was a sort of continuous performance, and as they entered a girl was singing a song on a well-lighted stage. Andy glanced about as he took his seat, and met the gaze of Link Bardon.
Say, what's this I hear about someone being arrested for the quadrangle thefts?" "It's true enough," replied Andy, looking sharply at his visitor. "Link Bardon was arrested, and Dunk and I got him bailed out." "You did!" cried Mortimer, almost jumping from the chair. "Why, was there anything strange in that?" asked Andy, in surprise. "I should think so!" exclaimed Mortimer, sharply.
At first I felt very comfortable, but in ten minutes the irritation of the blanket was disagreeable, and endurance was nly only resource; thought upon other subjects out of the question. In half-an-hour I wondered when it would begin to act. At six, in came Bardon to give me water to drink. Another hour, and I was getting into a state.
Doctor Bardon was the first to come over he and his mother." "So I heard. I think I'll step over and speak to them a moment." "So you are working for Miss Langmore?" "Yes, in a way." "You'll have an uphill job clearing her. The coroner thinks he has a clear case against her." "Do you know what evidence he possesses?" "Not exactly. He isn't telling all he knows," returned the officer of the law.
She did not douche again for a fortnight. Last winter a man was being douched, when an icicle that had been formed in the night was dislodged by the first rush of water, and fell on his back. Bardon, seeing the bleeding, stopped the douche, but the douchee had not felt the blow as anything unusual. He had been douched daily, and calculated on such a force as he experienced.
Young Ingrow, with a flush on his fine cheeks, sang out a shrill "Hurrah for Prince Rupert!" and bluff Bardon rubbed his hands as he chuckled, "He brushed them into dust." All the Cavaliers spoke rapidly and eagerly, flinging their phrases each on top of the other. Rufus summed up all in a single splendid sentence. "The road lies plain to London."
"Heaven be praised," Brilliana ejaculated, and then, wonder treading on the heels of thankfulness, she questioned, "How came you here so timely?" My Lord Fawley broke into a boisterous laugh which seemed to rattle among the rafters. "Oh, Lord, the best jest in the world," he bellowed. Bardon clapped a hand on lad Ingrow's shoulder. "Our Ingrow writes a clerky hand," he asserted.
All the Cavaliers shouted the loyal toast so that the words "The King!" seemed to ring in every nook of the great hall; then every Cavalier drained his glass. "Ah," sighed Lord Fawley, as he set down his empty vessel, "I could drink the King's health forever." "I swear it would sweeten sour ale," Bardon declared. Young Ingrow took him up.
"Ah, indeed!" responded the colonel, with his head thrown critically on one side, and his eyes still fixed on the reflection of the picture. "And with what result?" "Oh, failure, of course." "And failure it always will be. The thing is simply an impossibility," remarked the colonel. "No, bardon me, colonel, id is not an imbossibilidy by any means." This from the professor. "Indeed?
Vulgarity is even lower than profanity." Harry's face flushed, and he looked intensely ashamed of himself. "I peg your bardon I mean I beg your pardon!" he spluttered. "It slipped out. You know I don't say anything like that often." "I know it," nodded Frank, "and that's why it sounded all the worse. I don't know that I ever heard you use such a word before."
