Ever since he had gathered from Stephen Mr Cripps's wrath on receiving the returned rod, he had been haunted by a dread lest the landlord of the Cockchafer should march up to Saint Dominic's, and possibly make an exposure of the unhappy business before the Doctor and the whole school.
Give us your promise on a piece of paper if you must impose upon me." Loman, only too delighted, wrote at Mr Cripps's dictation a promise to pay the thirty pounds, together with five pounds interest, in September, and quitted the Cockchafer with as light a heart as if he had actually paid off every penny of the debt. "Of course I'm safe to get it! Why ever didn't I think of that before?
The unexplained phenomenon persists consistently throughout the whole domain of entomology and ornithology. Going up the scale from the gnat, it is found that with the dragon fly this ratio is 30 to 1, with the tipula, or daddy-longlegs, 14.5 to 1, the cockchafer only 5.15 to 1, the rhinoceros beetle 3.14 to 1.
"Well then, my dear, I'm afraid he'll never come to the title," said my uncle, looking coolly at the young gentleman as he stood fixed up against the wall, in the cockchafer fashion that I have described. "You have cut off the entail, my love." "I have been torn from my home and my friends by these villains," said the young lady, her features glowing with indignation.

'And I suppose in the evening you will join in the dumb charades, and play hide-and-seek in the garden, all among spiders and cockchafers. 'I will do anything I am told to do, answered Brian, cheerily. 'But I think the season of the cockchafer is over. 'What has become of Dr.
Where is the use of playing if there is to be no fun? ''Where is the use of fun? said the cockchafer to the boy who was spinning it, said Anne. 'Impertinence, impertinence, impertinence, said Rupert, shaking his head at her. By this time all was ready, and Elizabeth called the brother and sister to take their places at the table in the inner drawing-room.
"Da" used to say that angels played on harps in heaven; but it wasn't half so lovely as Mum playing in the moony night, with him eating a macaroon. A cockchafer buzzed by, a moth flew in his face, the music stopped, and little Jon drew his head in. She must be coming! He didn't want to be found awake.
Foolish and wicked as Loman was, there was still left in him some of that boyish generosity which makes one ready to forget injuries and quick to acknowledge a good turn. Loman forgot for a moment all the hideous past, with its suspense and humiliations and miseries, and remembered only that Cripps had torn up the bill and allowed him to clear off accounts once for all at the hated Cockchafer.
As soon as ever morning school was over he took his hat and traversed once more the familiar road between Saint Dominic's and the Cockchafer. "Is Cripps at home?" he inquired of the potboy. "Yas," said the boy. "Who wants him?" "I do, you young blockhead!" "You do? Oh, all right! I'll tell him, mister. Don't you collar no mugs while I'm gone, mind!" The very potboys despised and ridiculed him!
