In fact, ever since Bickers came in here the other night and thrashed one of our fellows, the two houses have been at daggers drawn." "So Branscombe said. He didn't seem to care about coming in with me. I asked him." "I don't wonder. Some of the young fools down there would give him a hot reception for no other reason than that he belongs to Bickers's house."
"Well, you know he's been pretty civil since he came, and he's backed us up in that row about Bickers, you know. We thought we'd get him a ring, you know. He's spoons on my sister Daisy, and Dig and I thought it would fetch him if we stuck `Chuckey' that's the pet name he calls her on it. Don't you think it would be a good dodge?
"Good-evening," said Mr Bickers, with a show of friendliness. Mark nodded. "I am glad to be able to render up your house to you in rather better order than I found it. If you'll take my advice, Railsford, you will not venture out, in the evening specially, leaving no one in authority. It is sure to be taken advantage of." Railsford bit his lips.
Again, again, At the crook of the glen, Where bickers the burnie, I'll meet thee again." The road was now apparently left open; for the mule collected herself, and changed from her posture of terror to one which promised advance, although a profuse perspiration, and general trembling of the joints, indicated the bodily terror she had undergone.
d by John Bickers and Dagny "Our natures languish incomplete; Something obtuse in this our star Shackles the spirit's winged feet; But a glory moves us from afar, And we know that we are strong and fleet." Edmund Ollier.
Mr Bickers, have I stated your questions correctly?" "Yes," growled Mr Bickers. "Let him answer them if he can." Every one now turned to Railsford, who rose slowly to his feet and fixed his eyes full on the chairman.
"Am I to open it?" asked the chairman. "Yes, yes!" said the master hoarsely. Mr Roe obeyed, and disclosed the turf amid another general laugh, in which all but Railsford and Mr Bickers joined. The latter had by this time lost his self-control. He glared round him like a baited animal, and then, rounding suddenly on Railsford, exclaimed, "This is your doing! You are at the bottom of this!"
Every very bright star, when close to the horizon, shows these colours, and so much the more distinctly as the star is the brighter. And our own poet, Tennyson, following the older poet, sings how the fiery Sirius alters hue, And bickers into red and emerald.
"It seems to me," said Ainger, who was still discontented, "we shall get no more backing from him than we did from Moss. I don't care twopence about that young ass Herapath; but if the house is to go on as it was last term, and we are to be interfered with by Bickers and nobody to stand up for us, we may as well shut up at once, and let him appoint new prefects."
As he got clear, and began slowly to retreat to his own house, the boys raised a loud defiant cheer. But whether this was to hail his departure or to greet the appearance of Barnworth and Wake, ready stripped for the fray, it would be difficult to say. But whichever it was, Mr Bickers seemed by no means discomfited.
