"Come in, old timer," Bob called to him. "Where's the rest of the bunch?" "Oh, I guess they'll be along pretty soon," said Jimmy. "I guess I'm a bit early, but I was so anxious to get around that I couldn't wait to come at a respectable time. I suppose I should be boning down for to-morrow's lessons, but I'd never be able to get my mind on them until we get our outfit going."
He had shut himself in the clubroom over the grill and had been boning for an examination. Mess over, they wandered out on the terrace. The storm was over, completely and wholly. The air was clear, the sky cloudless. A gentle breeze fanned them. Trolley wires, telephone poles and trees lay in every direction, with here and there a rolled-up tin roof. It had been bad enough while it lasted.
Make a cut down the back from head to tail. Now, holding the knife pressed close to the bone, cut carefully till the fish is free on one side; then turn, and cut away the other. To skin, take half the fish at a time firmly in one hand; hold the blade of the knife flat as in boning, and run it slowly between skin and flesh.
"I've been boning them up to such an extent that they've got me doing it too. What I'm trying to say is, Will you marry me?" She was drooping towards him. Her face was very sweet and tender, her eyes misty. He slid an arm about her waist. She raised her lips to his. Suddenly she drew herself away, a cloud on her face. "Darling," she said, "I've a confession to make." "A confession? You? Nonsense!"
With 'em both you can do a heap." "That's right," admitted Tom. "And now I'm going to do some boning, and get ahead with my work so I'll have a little time to hunt for clews." "Clews?" murmured Jack. "Yes, clews as to who poisoned these horses and set the hay on fire. You see it's not enough to say that I didn't do it. I've got to find the person who did." "Well, I wish you luck," murmured Jack.
"We can give her money, and make her comfortable, if it comes to that. But it's the girl and the hideous injustice of that fellow there that Faversham ousting her from her rights getting the old man into his power boning his property and then writing hypocritical notes like that!"
That some of them would be "found" and dropped from the corps on account of their deficiencies was almost a foregone conclusion. So the warm nights of May found anxious young men in all the classes boning up to within a few minutes of the sound of taps. Least anxious of all the cadets were the scores of new plebes.
As a matter of fact, the plebe who in most instances was doing badly with the great amount of study and recitation required of him, was likely to spend most of his afternoon leisure in "boning" the studies in which he was deficient or which he found difficult to master. At 6.25 came the call for supper formation. That meal was through at about seven in the evening.
"I've been boning on that lately, and I got a fresh supply from the laboratory the other day to experiment with." "Then I think we'll make these chaps open their eyes." The three friends hurried to Jack's room, where they were busy for some time, behind carefully drawn shades. At the end of about two hours, Jack, who had been keeping watch from a window, exclaimed: "There they go with the stuff.
They used to say: 'That is Renard's place; and nobody would have gone to it, not even Monsieur Plumsay, who is well known, be it said without any offense, for boning other peoples' places. "Well, I returned to my place of which I felt certain, just as if I had owned it. I had scarcely got there on Saturday, when I got into Delila, with my wife.
