It was indescribably funny to see the whole pack tear up all eagerness, and then come down again, helter-skelter, tumbling over each other in the excitement of the scrimmage, some of them losing their tempers, but all of them enjoying the game; returning of their own accord to the starting point, waiting with yelps of excitement and eyes brightly intent, ears pricked, jaws open, tongues hanging, tails wagging, sides panting, till another biscuit was placed, then off once more sometimes after a false start or two, caused by the impetuosity of a little yapping terrier, which would rush before the signal was given, and had to be brought back with the whip, the other dogs looking disgusted meanwhile, like honourable gentlemen at a cad who won't play fair.
Here the good man in question made a faint endeavor to interpose, but the gentlefolks by their impetuosity completely suppressed him. "It's a falsehood!" cried Julia, haughtily. "You scurrilous cad!" roared the Colonel, and shook his staff at him, and seemed on the point of charging him. But Bartley was not to be put down this time. He snatched the bracelet from the man, and held it up in triumph.
"It's only a bruise, Master Freddy no bones broken, thank God!" said she, motioning me to be silent. But I was in no mood to be silent. Slowly the recollection of yesterday's events dawned on me. "Did they get off Cad Prog's apron," I inquired, "after all?" Of course, the good old soul thought this was sheer wandering of the mind, and she looked very frightened, and implored me to lie still.
"No sir," said Charlie, putting his feet up in a second chair and making himself comfortable, "I don't give it up, sir; I'm going to know what this bumper of a word is." "Well, how are we ever going to know if Morris can't say it nor spell it nor write it?" demanded Joe. "Mebby he can thing it," said little Cad. "Good for you, Caddy!" said Charlie. "You've hit it; Morris can sing fast enough.
"You have invited him to be the leader of your orchestra, haven't you?" "Oh, don't, Staniford!" cried Dunham in his helplessness. "I should hate to see her dependent in any degree upon that little cad for society." Cad was the last English word which Dunham had got himself used to. "That was why I hoped that you wouldn't altogether neglect her. She's here, and she's no choice but to remain.
You make pretty speeches to them, and look so charmingly devout." "There was a fellow at San Damiano this morning," interrupted Bobbie, indignantly; "awfully good-looking and the most affected cad I ever beheld. I'd like to have been his fag-master at Eton!
Dyce, of whom all the boys were exceedingly fond, was suddenly blotted out. He went home that night, and crept into bed, a most disconsolate boy. "I was a beastly cad," he fumed, kicking the covering down to the foot, and rolling out with the vain attempt to find some diversion. But that being impossible, he tumbled in again, with his unhappy thoughts.
"I am a gentleman and the son of a gentleman, and I'll never stand it to be treated like a cur. Hazing is said to be no longer tolerated here, and an investigation is certain to follow my report of this affair." A little fellow stepped out. "You claim to be a gentleman," he said, distinctly, "but you will prove yourself a cad if you peach." "I had rather be a cad than a ruffian, sir!"
It is very much more comfortable to consider oneself a cad, and acknowledge to oneself love for a girl, and be sure of her unfortunate love for you, than to consider oneself the dupe of the girl. Fanny had a keen sense of humor. Suppose she had been making fun of him. Suppose she had her own aspirations in other quarters. He walked on until he reached the old Bolton house.
Fate played you a shabby trick when it allowed just that low cad to put his head in. What do you think would be left of any woman's reputation after Grindle Esquire had pawed it over? No, Mary, you've been rendered impossible; and you'll be made to feel it for the rest of your days.
