And indeed one boy after another came up in the same way as Biddlecomb had done, some cringing more than others, but all vowing that they had never intended to do any harm, and entreating him to change his mind about complaining of his ill-treatment.
And as he mused, he begun in joyous and triumphant axents to bring up before me some of his latest and most striking instances of equinomical tightness. Sez he, "Do you remember the case of Sy Biddlecomb, and them green pumpkins of mine, how I " But I interrupted his almost fervid eloquence, and sez I, with my right hand extended in a real eloquent wave,
Grimstone really did arrive at this point, much to Paul's relief, and looked in to give a grip of the hand and a few words to those of the boys he had not seen. Biddlecomb, Tipping, and the rest, came in with him, and the schoolroom soon filled with others arriving by later trains, amongst the later comers being the two house-masters, Mr. Blinkhorn and Mr.
Biddlecomb went off, looking slightly ashamed of himself but visibly relieved from a haunting fear. "Thank goodness!" thought Paul, "he wasn't as obstinate as the other fellow. What a set they are! I knew it, there's another boy coming up now!"
But your boys are both doing capitally. The eldest Blenkinsopp major, we call him; Charles Warrington, isn't it? He's in the second eleven now, and a capital batter: I've no doubt he'll go into the first eleven next term, if we lose Biddlecomb Tertius to the university.

"Oh Lord, here's another of them now!" thought Paul. "You are right, young sir," he said: "have you any objection? mention it, you know, if you have, pray mention it.
You've kicked me more than once, and your handkerchief, unless I am very much mistaken, had the biggest and the hardest knot in it yesterday. If that gives you the right to interfere and dictate to me now, like your amiable friend, Master Chawner, I suppose you have it." "Now you're angry," said Biddlecomb humbly; "I don't wonder at it.
At the other end of the table Biddlecomb had again dexterously allured Herr Stohwasser into the meshes of conversation; this time upon the question (

There was a general shout. "No; he shall pay for it! We'll teach him to fight fair! We'll see if he tries that on again!" Paul heard it with much uneasiness. What new devilry were they about to practise upon him? He was not left long in doubt. "I vote," suggested Biddlecomb, as if he were proposing a testimonial, "we make him run the gauntlet.
