"Can you direct me to Brazenface College, please, sir?" said the youthful stranger, flushing like a girl. "This is Brazenface College," said Mr. Bouncer, looking very important. "And, pray, what is your business here and your name?" "If you please," said the stranger, "I am James Pucker. I came to enter, sir, for my matriculation examination, and I wish to see the gentleman who will examine me."
Was I not fair game for any huntress? But she belonged to the Swede's chief runner, his number one bouncer, as ugly a brute as ever thumped a drunken sailor. The bully objected, with a deal of obscene threatening, to my fancied raiding of his property.
Be sure the Bouncer has some schame in this. Well, one would suppose Paddy Donovan an' his daughter had more sinse nor to think of sich a runagate as Bouncin' Phelim." "No, but the Pathriark! Sure his Reverence sez that we musn't call him anything agin but the Pathriark! Oh, be gorra, that's the name! ha, ha, ha!"
Fondness for Athletic Sports.—His love of bathing.—His study of the raven.—Calling the doctor in.—My father with our dogs.—The cats of “Gad’s Hill.”—“Bumble” and “Mrs. Bouncer.”—A strange friendship.
"I can't swing but a quarter of a million to save me; possibly only two hundred thousand," regretted Bouncer. "If you'd like to carry a little more I'll let you have the money, Colonel," offered his bitter enemy of the bony fist. "Thanks, Mort," returned the colonel gratefully.

He's afraid to look at a chap." "I say," said Cusack, "rather a spree to fetch him, eh, you fellows, and see how he does. Eh?" "I'm game," said Pilbury; "what shall we do? Smash in his study-door?" "Oh, no," said Cusack, "no use doing that. Let's give him `Bouncer' to start with." "That ought to startle him up," said Philpot, laughing, "if he's not used to it."
Next morning, accompanied by Bouncer, Alick, Martin, and I set off to cut up the bear and bring in as much of the meat as we could carry. Robin was left to make up the fire. "I will see what I can do besides," he said. "I think I can manufacture a pot in which we can boil some of the bear's flesh. It will be more satisfactory than having so much roast meat."
'I don't believe you want to be one of God's soldiers, said Teddy in a disappointed tone; 'you keep making 'scuses! There was silence; then Tim Stokes heaved a heavy sigh. 'I won't come no further, youngster; I ain't in a mind to-day to see company, but I'll be at the tea to-night. 'Oh, Bouncer, do come! and Teddy's eyes filled with tears. 'You promised you would.
When Mr. Bouncer's party turned the corner of Saint Mary's, they found that the Town, as usual, had taken the initiative, and in a dense body had swept the High Street and driven all the gownsmen before them. A small knot of 'varsity men were manfully struggling against superior numbers by St. Mary's Hall. "Gown to the rescue!" shouted Mr. Bouncer, as he dashed across the street. "Come on, Pet!
That night all we had to sustain nature was the leather soup Alick spoke of, with the addition of some tripe de roche. Next morning we breakfasted on the same unsatisfactory materials.
