Good-bye, you sneaking young " "Look here!" said Wraysford, quietly walking up to the blackguard in the midst of this discourse, "if you don't stop instantly you'll be sorry for it." Cripps stared a moment at the speaker, and at the first he held out. Then, without another word, he turned on his heel into the cottage, leaving the three boys standing in undisputed possession of the tow-path.
Greenfield would scarcely go in for this exam, even if he got his move up; it was safe to conclude his recent exploit would suffice him in the way of exams, for some time to come. And then, what could be more opportune than its coming off just after Christmas, at the precise time when Cripps would be looking for a final settlement of his account, or whatever little of it remained still to pay!
We walked on until we reached the Cripps home and entered the Cripps gate. I rang the bell and the maid answered the ring. In answer to our inquiries she told us that Mr. Cripps was not in. He and Mrs. Cripps had gone to chapel. I remembered then that the day was Sunday. I had actually forgotten it. "Is Miss Morley in?" asked Hephzy. The maid shook her head. "No, ma'am," she said.
"I don't care when they pay you your money! All I know is I must have mine now, my young dandy. Next week the time's up." "But, Cripps, how can I pay you unless I've got the money?" "No, no; I've had enough of that, young gentleman. This time I'm a-going to have my way, or the governor shall know all about it, you see!" "Oh, don't say that!" said Loman.
Nice to be you, flush of cash, and able to pay straight down." "I can't pay," said Loman. "Ah, but the governor can, I'll wager," insinuated Cripps. "He would never do it! It's no use asking him," said Loman. Cripps whistled again. "That's awkward. And my friend wants his money, too, and so do I." "I really can't pay," said Loman. "I say, Cripps, let us off that twenty pounds.
I will read it to you, as you may be able to throw some light on it. I received it just now. It is from Cripps." "Hon. Sir, I take the liberty of informing you that one of your young gents, which his name is Mister Loman, is a prig. He's been a regular down at my shop this twelve month, and never paid a farthing for his liquor.
"Oh, of course I'll keep them, Cripps. What I was saying was that they don't pay you the money till the beginning of each year." Loman omitted to mention, as he had omitted to mention all along, that young gentlemen who win scholarships do not, as a rule, have the money they win put into their hands to do as they like with. But this was a trifling slip of the memory, of course!
"I only wish I was as right with that blackguard Cripps." "That blackguard Cripps" had, next afternoon, the peculiar pleasure of welcoming his young friend and patron under the hospitable roof of the Cockchafer. As usual, he was as surprised as he was delighted at the honour done him, and could not imagine for the life of him to what he was indebted for so charming a condescension.
Hunter, Vidal, and Chaussier report in full cases of the absence of the ovaries, and Thudicum has collected 21 cases of this nature. Morgagni, Pears, and Cripps have published observations in which both ovaries were said to have been absent. Cripps speaks of a young girl of eighteen who had an infantile uterus and no ovaries; she neither menstruated nor had any signs of puberty.
So off Stephen trotted, as soon as school was over, in spite of the counter attraction of a Guinea-pig cricket match. When he reached the lock, Cripps had not arrived. "He warn't be long, young maister," said old Jeff, who was one of the snivelling order. "Take a seat, do 'ee.
