"Does this belong to you, Yorke?" inquired the master, scrutinizing that gentleman's countenance, as he had previously scrutinized Bywater's. Gerald Yorke took the phial in his hand and examined it. He knew perfectly well that it was his, but he was asking himself whether the school, apart from Bywater, could contradict him, if he said it was not. He feared they might.
I want to know if the fall helped to bring on this illness?" "No, sir; it had nothing to do with it. The fall hurt my head a little nothing more; and I got well from it directly. This illness, which has been taking me off, must have been born with me." "Hoo " Bywater's shout, as he tossed up his trencher, was broken in upon by Mrs. Jenkins.
We couldn't afford to lose you. Only think, what a lot of money it would cost to put the college into mourning!" Ketch gave a great gasp of agony, threw an iron ladle at his tormentor, which, falling short of its aim, came clanking down on the red-brick floor, and banged the door in Bywater's face.
At the sale of Captain Bywater's effects a portion of the furniture belonging to the dining-room, kitchen and one bedroom were purchased by Jim Summers, who, with his wife, continued to reside in the Duchess street house pending the letting of it to a new tenant.
Bywater's spirits went up to some of their old impudence. "In looking for one thing you find another," quoth he. Very true, Mr. Bywater! Sometimes we find more than we bargain for. The drags were thrown in again, and the excited crowd jostled each other as before, their faces hanging over the brink. Hush! Hark! Another prize! What is it, coming up now? A rare prize, this time!
"Oh, bless you, sir, no! Never think that. Master Bywater" lowering his voice till it was as grave as Bywater's "that fall did me good good, sir, instead of harm." "How do you make out that?" asked Bywater, drawing his breath a little easier. "Because, sir, in the few days' quiet that I had in bed, my thoughts seemed in an unaccountable manner to be drawn to thinking of heaven.
"My lord!" cried Bywater. "Sir!" responded his lordship. "Does your lordship think it was I who played that trick on Ketch?" "Yes, I do speaking of you conjointly with the school." Bywater's eyes and his good-humoured countenance fell before the steady gaze of the prelate.
Old Ketch gave a yell of impotent rage, and Bywater decamped, as fast as his legs would carry him, through the west door. Arrived at his home, or rather his uncle's, where he lived for Bywater's paternal home was in a far-away place, over the sea he went straight up to his own room, where he struck a match, and lighted a candle.
In the social atmosphere of companionship, in the bright sunlight, Charley could look back on the "ghost" in the cloisters, and draw his own deductions. His good sense told him it was no ghost; that it was all a trick of Bywater's and others of the college boys.
There, you may go to your aunt now." And Ellen went, feeling that the earth and air around her had suddenly become as Eden. That broken phial, you have heard of, was burning a hole in Bywater's pocket, as Roland Yorke had said the bank-note did in his. He had been undecided about complaining to the master; strangely so for Bywater.
