"Hope it'll flare-up like the other," said Pilbury. "It ought to," said Philpot. "Ought it? Hurrah! I say, Cusack, what a jolly clever beggar old Phil is, isn't he?" "Rather," said the admiring Cusack, perching himself on the side of the table and swinging his legs to pass the time. "Oh," said Philpot, condescendingly, "it only wants a little practice."
"Why, Doctor Doctor Finucane," cried I, "is this possible? were you really the inside in the mail last night." "Devil a doubt of it, Mr. Lorrequer; and may I make bould to ask, were you the outside?" "Then what, may I beg to know, did you mean by your damned story about Barney Doyle, and the hydrophobia, and Cusack Rooney's thumb eh?"
"Not a bad lark," said Cusack "lots of explosions and things. Philpot told me he could make Pharaoh's serpents, and smells like rotten eggs. We'll get him to coach us, eh, Pil?" "I'm game," said Pil, no less delighted than his friend at this happy thought. And, full of their new idea of "going it steady," the two worthies forthwith sallied out and made hue and cry for Philpot.
Cusack was very curious to know what the letter was about concerning which the captain seemed so much excited; but Riddell declined to gratify him on this point, and put the paper away in his pocket and returned to his work. "No," said he to himself, "if it's a hoax there's no object in making it public property, and still less reason if there's anything in it."
Brandeis had imported from the colonies another printer of the name of Jones, to deprive Cusack of the government printing. German sailors had come ashore one day, wild with offended patriotism, to punish the editor with stripes, and the result was delightfully amusing. The champions asked for the English printer.
Different from what it used to be!" "So it is," says Parson. "Not nearly as much chance of a lark. But perhaps it's no harm; it keeps those Welcher kids quiet." "More than it's doing just now! Look at the way young Cusack is bellowing over there! He's as mad on this match as if he was in the eleven." "So he expects to be, some day.
In a few days, however, they had all sufficiently got over the shock of the last afternoon's experiments to decide on a fresh venture, and these lessons continued, on and off, during the rest of the term. It can hardly be said that by the end of the term Pilbury or Cusack knew any more about chemistry than they had known this first day.
Hullo! you fellows," he cries, as two other small boys approach at a trot; "what's on? Have the hurdles started? By the way, this is my father, you know; he came down." The two small boys, who are arrayed in ducks and running-shoes, shake hands rather sheepishly with the imposing visitor and look shyly up and down. "And are you running in any of the races, my men?" says Captain Cusack, kindly.
Gully's such a boshy starter, you know; always puts me out. Why can't they let Parrett do it?" And off they rattle, forgetting all about Cusack and his gallant father, and evidently convinced in their own minds that the flags and the carriages and the rosettes and all the festivities are solely in honour of the final heat of the junior hundred yards, in which they two are to take part.
Cusack in the Cheraw district, and although he had in his pocket a list of several houses burned by his orders, yet he met with every indulgence. At Black Stocks the wounded were kindly treated. Other partisan chiefs arose and among them General Marion held a distinguished place.
