"A fellow ought to do well whatever he undertakes to do." Jeff grinned across at him from where he lay on the bed with his fingers laced beneath his head. "That's what the copybooks used to say." "I want to have a serious talk with you, Jeff." "Aren't you having it? What can be more important than the successes of James K. Farnum?" The senior looked at him suspiciously.
Little by little, using her eyes for a longer and longer time on each succeeding day, she mastered the serious difficulty of teaching herself to write by sight instead of by touch. Beginning with lines in copybooks, she got on to writing easy words to dictation.
"There you go," the other answered almost fiercely; "it's always the way. Everyone says it copybooks and Bible and everything and no one believes it till they've tried the other way, and then it's no use believing anything." "Oh, yes, it is," said Betty comfortingly, "and you're so kind. I don't know how to thank you. Being kind is being good too, isn't it?"
Even you cast me off over there, and I felt just ready to go to the deuce," he began apologetically. "Don't talk that way, turn over a new leaf and begin again, Teddy, my son." "I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks, and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end," he said dolefully. "Go and eat your dinner, you'll feel better after it.
"Look here," he said good-naturedly, "let me help. I don't think you're going the right way to work." He felt just a little bit sorry for Timmy; Rosamund was raking about as if the play-box was a bran-pie. Bending down he took up out of the box a bundle of envelopes, copybooks, and Christmas cards.
To follow Tarzan's strange system of spelling would be laborious as well as futile, and so we shall in the future, as we have in the past, adhere to the more familiar forms of our grammar school copybooks.
It was there they filled the copybooks of French exercises from Levizac's Grammar, which Miss Cornelia still carefully preserves in a bureau drawer. There they learned to play and sing "Days of Absence," "I'm A Merry Swiss Boy," and many other delightful melodies, the which, even now, Miss Cornelia will sometimes hum softly to herself.
Such a period of suspended communication had lasted more than a week, when, at the wane of the term, the inevitable explosion finally occurred. The class had just turned in their copybooks with a Latin exercise prepared at home. Keith's book happened to be on top. The teacher opened it. He sent a glance at Keith that made the boy squirm.
"The master," as he was known to his little flock, sat alone one night in the schoolhouse, with some open copybooks before him, carefully making those bold and full characters which are supposed to combine the extremes of chirographical and moral excellence, and had got as far as "Riches are deceitful," and was elaborating the noun with an insincerity of flourish that was quite in the spirit of his text, when he heard a gentle tapping.
The Doctor had been strictly enjoined to take good heed to write everything down on his mental tablets, and to give careful account to his lady. He found the two young Maitlands seated at a table from which the cloth had been lifted at one corner to make room for copybooks, ink, pens and reading-books. Evidently Miss Irma was instructing her brother.
