"Indeed, sir?" "You interfered," Lieutenant Cantor continued, "with one of the most important affairs of my life." "Yes, sir? With one of the most shameful, I should imagine, sir." Ensign Darrin's tone was officially respectful, but his glance cold. He felt no respect for Cantor, and could see no reason why he should pretend respect.
Dave Darrin's face flushed, then paled from the humiliation of the rebuke. Yet he had been guilty of an actual breach of discipline, minor though it was, and could not dispute Cantor's right to reprove him.
I thereupon went down to that room, knocked, waited a moment, and then entered, accompanied by the cadet officer of the day. The condition of things that I found in the room you already, sir, know from my written report. While in the room I detected a pair of feet showing under the bottom of Mr. Darrin's uniform equipment hanging in his cupboard.
Here and there suppressed cheers greeted the announcement The bulk of the midshipmen, however, were much of Dave Darrin's opinion that there was little glory in beating less than the best team that the Army could really put forth. "Darry looks as though he had just got back from a funeral," remarked one member of the third class to another youngster.
"Was Mr. Darrin's washbowl in its present untidy state?" "I don't know, sir. I didn't notice that." "Very good, Mr. Henkel. Go to your room and remain there in close arrest. Do not leave your room, except by orders or proper permission, sir." "Very good, sir," replied Henkel, saluting. When the sections came marching back from math.

Navy's quarterback, after a short run, placed himself to seize the arching pigskin out of the air. Then he ran forward, protected by the Navy interference. By a quick pass the ball came into Dave Darrin's hands. Dalzell braced himself as he hit the strong Army line. It was like butting a stone wall, but Darrin got through, with the aid of effective interference.
As the strain stopped, and the young pitcher came across the field, leaning now on Dave Darrin's arm, the music crashed out again into "Hail to the Chief!" "You see, Purcell. You're getting your share of the credit now," laughed Dick. "The band is playing something about a captain, isn't it?" In the dressing room Dick had abundant offers of help. Fred Ripley was the only silent one in the group.
"I admit being here, sir, without propriety. I am innocent of any further wrongdoing, sir," lied the culprit. Lieutenant Nettleson studied the young man's face keenly. "Mr. Henkel, was Mr. Darrin's bed turned down and in its present disordered state when you entered the room?" "Yes, sir." "You declare this on your honor as a midshipman and gentleman?" "Yes, sir," lied the unabashed Henkel.
Returning the ensign's salute, the executive officer next regarded Darrin's untidy appearance with some displeasure. "Mr. Darrin," Commander Bainbridge continued, "I note that you must have been on hard duty. No officer, after being relieved, is entitled to retain an untidy appearance longer than is necessary. You should have bathed, sir, and attired yourself becomingly.
