There followed a moment of utter stillness, then the sudden scrape and shuffle of feet, and thereafter Carnaby's voice, a little raised and wholly incredulous: "What, Viscount, d'you mean to take this fellow's part against me?" "Most certainly, if need be." But here, before Sir Mortimer could reply, all five started and turned as the door opened and Barnabas appeared on the threshold.
Robinette dropped Carnaby's arm and said: "We'll talk that over at once, Middy dear, but first you shall race me to the top of the twisting path, down past the tulip beds, to the seat under the big ash tree. Come on!" The two reached the tree in a moment, Carnaby sufficiently in advance to preserve his self-respect and with a colour heightened by something other than the exercise of running.
If you knew my husband if you had once met him such a thought could never have entered your mind. You compare him to his disadvantage with Mr Carnaby? What right have you to do that? I believe in Mr. Carnaby's honesty, and do you know why? because he is my husband's friend. But for that, I should suspect him. 'My dear, replied Mrs. Strangeways, 'you are wonderful.
He even hung on Mr. Carnaby's arm in entreaty; but Mr. Carnaby shook him off, and commanded him back to his seat. Then the whole school heard Mr. Tooke told about the wry faces and the mask, and the trouble of the little boys. Mr. Tooke was not often angry; but when he was, his face grew white, and his lips trembled. His face was white now.
Presently, carried in her hand, it flitted out along the silent passages, past rows of doors which were closed upon empty rooms or upon unconscious sleepers, till it came to Carnaby's door; to the Boys' Room, as that far-away and most unluxurious apartment had always been called. Mrs. de Tracy was making a pilgrimage to the shrine of one of her gods.
Alma merely shook her head, as if the matter interested her very little, and turned to leave the room again. 'I think I had better go alone, said Harvey, his eyes on the telegram. 'Just as you like, answered Alma, and withdrew. She spent the afternoon much as usual. Rolfe had said at lunch that he would go to Carnaby's immediately after dinner. Mrs.

Mr Tooke not only brought up plenty of books from the school library, but lent Hugh some valuable volumes of prints from his own shelves.
Your friends will say: 'Who is that particularly agreeable lady, Carnaby? And you, with swelling chest, will respond, 'That's my American cousin, Mrs. Loring. She's a nice creature; I'm glad you like her!" Robinette's imitation of Carnaby's possible pomposity was so amusing and so clever that it drew a laugh from the boy in spite of himself.
"Me," she said I did not trouble about any civilities. I stood up and asked point blank a question that came into my head. "Whose horse is that?" I said. She looked me in the eyes. "Carnaby's," she answered. "How did you get here this way?" "The wall's down." "Down? Already?" "A great bit of it between the plantations." "And you rode through, and got here by chance?"

Mr Tooke walked up the room to his desk, and Mr Carnaby walked down the room to his desk; and then Mr Carnaby said, quite aloud, "Mr Tooke, sir." "Well." Here Holt sprang from his desk, and ran to the usher, and besought him not to say a word about what Warner's class had been doing.
