Brown's Leader, and developing logically from it, passing through Long, Fildes, and Dicksee, it touches high-water mark at Hook. The pretty blue sea and the brown fisher-folk call for popular admiration almost as imperatively as the sunset in the village churchyard; and when an artist for in his adventures among dealers Mr. Smith met one or two points out how much less like treacle Mr.
Such half-way masters as Leighton, Alma-Tadema, Sant, and Dicksee were as yet to them something of what Rossetti and Burne-Jones, and certain old Italian masters, were soon to become.
I thought of the pot marked "poison;" of Dicksee being bad through taking something Mercer had given him; and a curious sensation of sickness came over me, and I left half my pudding, just as Mercer took up his fork, chopped his disk up into eight pieces, and began to bolt them fiercely. "Eat your pudding," he said, noticing that I had left off. "Can't. I've had enough." "You must.
"Then," resumed Sam, "that old fat fagot Engleton, him as held the ribbons and drew up like a lamb when he was told to, picks up his cattle, and drives off again. Down they came to the 'Dragon, all singing like as if they was scalded, and poor Tom saying nothing. You would 'a' thought they had all lost the King's crown to hear them. Down gets this Dicksee.
We both smiled and looked at one another as we crossed the yard, for Burr major and Dicksee had come past together, the latter listening attentively to his companion's words. "Oh, I say, Burr, if they only knew!" whispered Mercer, with a chuckle. "They little think that we've been Oh, I say, look; he's taking out his watch to see if it's right by the big clock.
"Hullo!" he cried. "Here's the gallant horseman, boys. Let's go and see him ride." "Yah! he can't ride," cried Dicksee; "he'll tumble off." "Not he," said Burr major. "Old Lom ties his ankles together under the horse. But he does look an awful fool when he's on board. I say, Burr junior, you don't think you can ride, do you?" "No," I said quietly. "And you never will.
"But?" said the Doctor; "well, what?" "Please, sir, I couldn't help liking it." "Humph!" ejaculated the Doctor. "Well, you need not come this time. To resume, I do not know the names of the boys who were present, and I do not want to know. Dicksee was in too great a hurry. Now proceed with your dinner." The meal went on, but my face felt more stiff, and my appetite was decidedly worse.
If we had a fight with some other boys, Eely and Dicksee would know, and we should have no chance to fight them then. I know. Let you and I fall out and have a set to." I whistled, and put my hands in my pockets. "Wouldn't that do?" he said. "No, not at all. It wouldn't be real, and " "Hold your tongue. Here's Magglin."
"Silence!" cried Burr major, as a burst of cheers followed this last round, for it was seen that the fat lad did not intend to get up again. "Dicksee isn't well to-day; I believe old Jollop has given him something." Then in a whisper, as he half-dragged his principal back, "You beggar!" he said; "I'll serve you out for this." "Hooray!" cried a small boy at the window; "old Senna has licked "
"Yes, sir," said Burr major promptly. "Then that is the bin, is it, Dicksee?" "Yes, sir." "And you say you saw Burr junior lock it up. Have you the key, Burr?" I stood gazing at him wildly without answering, and then I glanced at Mercer, who met my eye with a look of terror and misery that was piteous to see.
