Chapple's tongue was out and performing mystic evolutions as he carved the letters. He felt inspired. He was beginning the A when he was brought to earth again by the voice of Brooke. "You are an idiot," said Brooke, complainingly. "That's my board, and now you've spoilt it." Spoilt it! Chapple liked that! Spoilt it, if you please, when he had done a beautiful piece of carving on it!
I should put my watch on half an hour." "What 'ud be the good of that?" "Why, don't you see? You'd wake up and find it was ten to eight, say, by your watch, so you'd shove on the pace dressing, and nip downstairs, and then find that you'd really got tons of time. What price that?" "But I should remember I'd put my watch on," objected Chapple. "Oh, no, probably not.
The inference was that he was not likely to forego his sleep for the purpose of wrecking studies. Chapple might disappear from the list. Now there were only Linton and Rand-Brown to be considered. His suspicions fell on Rand-Brown. Linton was the last person, he thought, to do such a low thing. He was a cheerful, rollicking individual, who was popular with everyone and seemed to like everyone.
Milton is the head of the house, and stands alone among the house prefects for the strenuousness of his methods in dealing with his dormitory. Nothing in this world is certain, but it is highly improbable that Chapple will be late again. There are swagger-sticks. The house cricket cup at Wrykyn has found itself on some strange mantelpieces in its time.
The criminal is upon us, he threatens us, and we must protect ourselves. The necessities of the case are so pressing and so urgent that we seek for the most effectual remedy and use it unhesitatingly when we have found it. Here it is, says Dr Chapple, and its morality is determined by the relief which it, and it alone, is able to bring. What are we to do? Why, sterilize the wife of the defective.
David Chapple renew his tender speeches, the return thither became more and more difficult; and one day, while plaiting her young lady's hair, she communicated to her with a great gush of tears, that, though she could not bear to think of leaving her, and would not on any account cause her any inconvenience, she began to think it was time to think about her marriage.
Arrived at the carpenter's shop, Brooke was soon absorbed in his labours. Chapple watched him for a time with the interest of a brother-worker, for had he not tried to construct handy model steam-engines in his day? Indeed, yes. After a while, however, the role of spectator began to pall. He wanted to do something.
I knaw the value of gude rich soil tu well; an' a man as grudges the rames of hisself to the airth that's kept un threescore years an' ten's a carmudgeonly cuss, surely." Rames = skeleton; remains. "An' so say I; theer's true wisdom in it," declared Mr. Chapple, while the miller nodded. "Theer be," concluded Gaffer Lezzard.
It wanted but half an hour to closing time when he did so, and he glanced round the bar, snorted at the thick atmosphere of alcohol and smoke, then pulled out his pipe and took a vacant chair. "Gude evenin', Will," said Mr. Chapple. "A happy New Year, Blanchard," added the landlord. "Evening, sawls all," answered Will, nodding round him.
If they are in an extremity and find that our social system makes it impossible for them to undertake the responsibilities of parentage, then the reorganization of our social system is a matter for urgent consideration. But Dr Chapple would only intensify the evil instead of remedying it.
