"What surprises me," said Barnworth, "is that Stafford, the bull-dog, did not invite the intruder out into the square and impress the honour of our house with two black marks on each of his eyes." "I'm just as glad," said Felgate, "it's all happened. We shouldn't have got Railsford with us if "
Barnworth was right. In less than five minutes Munger appeared, half- dressed, and decidedly uneasy in his manner. "What do you want me for?" he demanded, with an attempt at bluster. "What do you mean by not coming when we sent for you, when you know perfectly well what you are wanted for?" "What am I wanted for?" asked Munger, glancing nervously round. "You know well enough, Munger."
I forgive him the licking he gave me last term. Marky made a regular ass of himself, he was so pleased. Every one wanted Barnworth to go on, but he wouldn't, as he had a race to come on. "Then came the Shell hurdles, 120 yards, ten flights. Dig and I were in, and had to beat 19½ seconds.
"I thought so," said Felgate. "Why could you not say that before, Mr Simple?" And Simson descended from his perch amid laughter and jeers, not quite sure whether he had not committed a crime beside which the offence of the prisoner at the bar was a trifle. "Call William Tomkins," said Barnworth.
"Well hit!" "Well fielded!" and cheered every sentence of the Greek, though they had not an idea what it was about how Barnworth was similarly encouraged through his Latin Oration with cries of "Jump it out!" "One inch more!" mingled sometimes with "False quantity!"
Ainger, on his part, was quite ready to acknowledge that without Railsford the house stood a poor chance of fulfilling the ambitious project he and Barnworth had marked out for it, and he only hoped, now, that the master might not rest on the laurels of last term, but would help to carry through the still more important exploits of this.
Smedley also was present, very attentive to Miss Violet; and Clipstone was there, as well as our friends Ainger, Barnworth, and Stafford. And all the learned luminaries of the Fifth were there, too, and one or two scientists from the Fourth. Arthur and Dig had rarely been in such good company, and had certainly never before realised how naturalists can eat.
"Did he say anything to the prisoner?" "He seemed in a great rage." "Did they come to blows?" "No but I shouldn't have been surprised if they had." "That will do, Mr Job Walker." Barnworth asked another question before Mr Walker stepped down. "Did you notice what took place between the prisoner and the deceased?" "Yes.
He runs sideways at the bar, and sort of lies down on his back on it as he goes over. You'd think he'd muff it every time, but just as he looks like done for, he kicks up his foot and clears. Barnworth takes it straight skips up to the bar and goes over like a daisy, without seeming to try. "At 5 foot 1, Wake mulled twice, and we thought he was out of it.
At the same moment, Barnworth, having ended his questions, Arthur Herapath, junior counsel for the defence, rose to his feet, and said, "Now, Sir William Tomkins, Baronet, have the goodness to look at me and answer a few questions. I would advise you to be careful."
