And now, when you have pledged my uncle, who threatens you with what he calls a brimmer, I will tell you what you think of me."
Midshipman Brimmer did much gleeful chuckling after taps, as he lay on the bed in the room that Henkel had once shared with him. "Now, let's see anyone get a chance to bring this job back to me!" laughed Brimmer. "And goodby, Darrin! The Naval Academy won't know you much longer!" Up to this time Darrin had dropped in at Tony's but once, and Dan not at all.
He and the other unlucky ones left for their homes as soon as the results had been announced. Brimmer would have passed, in all probability, had he not been unstrung by the knowledge that four of his comrades were working to secure the evidence which should warrant his expulsion from the Naval Academy.
The exact relations between the humorous "walk round," in which Miss Montgomery usually made her first entrance, and the volume of Byron she held in her hand, did not trouble Mr. Brimmer so much as the beautiful arm with which she emphasized it.
Instead of that he says, "A fellow at our school named George, a brother of Tom Tileston who goes to the Dwight, and is in Miss Somerby's room, not the Miss Somerby that has the class in the Sunday school, she's at the Brimmer School, but her sister," and already poor Frank is far from George, and far from the Stereopticon, and, as I observe, is wandering farther and farther.

"You don't mean to say that Miss Chubb and myself are to be put in the attitude of arraying ourselves against the constituted authorities and, perhaps, Mr. Brimmer himself?" asked Mrs. Brimmer, in genuine alarm.
Markham promptly; "I suppose if Nell stays I must see the thing through and stay with her even if I haven't orders from Jimmy."
