Damer's weak state of health will not admit of such an arrangement." "What, about the paying?" "Not only as to that, but we are a family party, Miss Dawkins; and great as would be the benefit of your society to all of us, in Mrs. Damer's present state of health, I am afraid in short, you would not find it agreeable.
Steam don't bile when I'm off; and the fly-wheel will never buzz another turn, unless I'm there to motion it to move on." Mrs. Damer's gracious reply informed Wade "that she should be charmed to see him at dinner, etc., and would not fail to transmit his kind warning to Miss Damer, when she returned from her drive to make calls."
Damer's face went awry with pain, but his gesture implied comprehension. "Yes," he said feebly. "When you got him with the axe. Nailer had been on the whisky, and that gun of his was a little stiff on the magazine-spring; but he was the best partner I ever had, and I left a good claim behind when you and the boys chased me right out of that part of Washington. Now you've got the beginning.
Damer's defeated the Manor easily. Some of the fags whispered to each other that the injuries inflicted by the Head Master on Scaife had been so severe as to incapacitate the star-player of the House. But they reported nothing. However severe the punishment might have been, Scaife received it without a whimper. In truth, Scaife received but one cut, and that a light one.
Of course, I don't want to stop in a beastly Small House for ever, and, if Damer's is closed to me, I should like Brown's, but Brown's is full too. And there are other good houses. But where where do you think I am going?" "Reed's?" "I don't call Reed's so bad. No; I'm going to Dirty Dick's. I'm coming to you." "Oh, I say." "Why, dash it all, you're grinning.
Damer's played collectively; the Manorites rather waited upon the individual. When Scaife's chance came, so it was predicted, he would go through the Damer's centre as irresistibly as a Russian battleship cuts through a fleet of fishing-smacks. Rutford being absent, Dumbleton, the butler, stood well to the fore.
The fellows in other houses are decent; they don't rub it in; but, between ourselves, the Manor has gone to pot ever since Dirty Dick took hold of it. Damer's is the swell house now." John began to unstrap his portmanteau. Scaife puzzled him. For instance, he displayed no curiosity. He did not put the questions always asked at a Preparatory School.
There was a glimmer of malice in Damer's face. "Well," he said, and the strained voice grew clearer, "it was Hallam of the Tyee. There was something I did that gave him a pull on me, and that man has no mercy for anybody." Alton heard the scratching of Horton's pen. "And Hallam hired you to murder me?" "Yes," and Damer glanced at Horton. "You have got that down?
Well played I say, well played, well pla-a-a-a-yed!" Our John has, it seems, distinguished himself. He has charged valiantly into the captain of Damer's at the moment when that illustrious chief is about to kick the ball to a trusted lieutenant on the left. He succeeds in kicking the ball into John's face. John goes over backwards; but the ball falls just in front of the Duffer.
What's your house?" "The Manor," said John, proudly. "Dirty Dick's!" Then, seeing consternation writ large upon John's face, he added quickly, "We call him Dirty Dick, you know; but the house is er one of the oldest and biggest er houses." He continued hurriedly: "I'm going into Damer's next term. Damer's is always chock-a-block, you know."
