And during the next half-hour this twofold exhibition was several times repeated. In Senior Latin, in Modern and Ancient History, in English Language and Literature, in French, first sounded the name of Chilvers, whilst to the second award was invariably attached that of Peak. Mrs.
I sliced it; yes, I sliced it badly." Chilvers paused and seemed lost in thought. "Did it hit her?" asked Boyd. "Of course it hit her," resumed Chilvers. "Aunt Sarah Emeline is more than plump, and since it did not hit her in the head I can't see how it could have hurt her. She certainly was able to stoop down, pick up that ball and throw it in the pond and it was a new ball.
"It was the day that you and I beat Boyd and Lawson," said Marshall, after a long pause. "That was a week ago." "I presume he's in the city," I carelessly remarked. "I presume he is not," laughed Chilvers. "He's probably rolling around in the English Channel right this minute." "Gone abroad?" "That's what." "And Mrs. Harding?" I inquired. "Gone with him, of course. Also Miss Harding."
I happen to know that he had already made up a game with Marshall, Boyd, and Chilvers, but he did not hesitate to abandon them for his long-coveted chance to play with Miss Harding. "We'll have a great game," asserted Mr. Harding mopping his brow. "How shall we divide up?
How charming she looked as she stood beside the huge bulk of her proud father!

It used to be the easiest thing to convict a man of religious hypocrisy; nowadays, one has to bear in mind such a multiplicity of fine considerations. There's that fellow Bruno Chilvers: mightn't anyone who had personal reasons treat him precisely as I have treated Peak? Both of them may be honest.
The grin on LaHume's face died out. "Why, LaHume and " "You've gone far enough," laughed Miss Harding. "Let me help you out, papa. We will select the gentlemen first. Please take down this list, Mr. Smith. Suppose we name Mr. LaHume, Mr. Carter, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Chilvers, Mr. Smith, and Papa Harding.
