"Them's beautiful streets, any how!" said Mike, "av they wasn't kept so dirty, and the houses so dark, and the pavement bad. That's Mr. Beamish's, that fine house there with the brass rapper and the green lamp beside it; and there's the hospital.
You thought when I said it was my duty to report it, and that the honour of the school was involved in it, and all that, that I was talking about that scrape at Beamish's." "Of course you were," said Wyndham. "What else could you have been talking about? I confessed it to you myself."
And most likely, when he came to consider, Riddell would be so full of that that he might perhaps not say any more about Beamish's. So Wyndham decided to go, and in due time presented himself with his books at the captain's study.
He would go and have a look at Purdy's sweetheart; would ride back to the diggings by way of Geelong. In a whitewashed parlour of "Beamish's Family Hotel" some few miles north of Geelong, three young women, in voluminous skirts and with their hair looped low over their ears, sat at work.
She loved Richard dearly; if he had asked her, she would have gone to the ends of the earth with him; but at this moment she felt both small and lonely, and she would have liked nothing better than Mrs. Beamish's big motherly bosom, on which to lay her head.
We had a good supper, and were then shown a room on the first floor on the other side of the hall, where the servant said we were to sleep. We sat by the stove awhile, waiting for developments, but as Uncle Beamish's bedtime was rapidly approaching, he sent word to the sick-chamber that he was coming up for his final visit. This time he stayed up-stairs but a few minutes.
He had kept a watch on the river all day without seeing the motor ship go up, but now she passed him a couple of miles above the city. He turned inshore when he saw her coming, lest Captain Beamish's binoculars might reveal to him a familiar countenance. He pulled easily, timing himself to arrive at the wharf as soon as possible after dark.
No one knows and Wyndham is to be expelled. I joy much Riddell knoweth it. Telson telleth Parson that Riddell is gross expelling for Beamish's and Wyndham weepeth in private. I smile at the practice Mr Parrett bowleth me balls. I taketh them and am out." If Bosher could have seen the effect of this elegant extract upon the captain he would probably have "joyed" with infinite self-satisfaction.
"I mean," said Silk, slowly, "that last time you took Gilks and me down to Beamish's " "I took you!" exclaimed Wyndham. "You took me you made me go." Silk laughed. "Well, the last time we three went to Beamish's, if you like the Saturday before the race; last Saturday, in fact somebody saw us, or rather saw you." "What!" cried Wyndham, turning pale. "Who was it?"
"Thanks; and I'll take care and say nothing about you, and Gilks won't either, I know. So it'll be all right. I don't know what possessed the fellow to suggest going in there." All this was somewhat perplexing to Wyndham. He had never imagined Beamish's was such a terrible place, or that the penalty of being found there was so severe.
