Then came the students from Brill, all in full dress, and led by William Philander Tubbs, bedecked as only that dudish student would think of bedecking himself. The Lanings and Mrs. Stanhope came together and the Rovers followed closely. Soon the little church was packed and many stood outside, unable to get in. The organ was playing softly. Suddenly the bell in the tower struck twelve.
If it was an outrageous fit, he would swap with some one if possible, otherwise he got along as best he could. Now, in civil life, I have frequently been amused in noting some dudish young fellow in a little country store trying to fit himself out with a light summer coat, or something similar.
Why, William Philander, I wouldn't go within twenty-five miles of Atlantic City if I were you," concluded Spud. "Oh, how ridiculous!" responded the dudish student. Nevertheless, he looked much worried. "Of course, they do report a sea serpent now and then." "Well, you haven't got to believe it, Billy," answered Tom.
First in the rush was the mother of the babe that had screamed when the first jolts came. She was wild-eyed and hysterical. A piece of flying glass had struck her on the face, and the warm, trickling blood had frightened her. She rushed up to the nearest man and shouted, "Is my husband safe?" Just then a sickly, dudish little man, with a lighted cigar in his mouth, rushed toward her.
They journeyed to the shores of Lake Cameron and then to another body of water called Firefly Lake, and had plenty of fun and not a few adventures. During their outing they had considerable trouble with a dudish sport -from town named Hamilton Spink, and his cronies, and were in great peril from a disastrous forest fire.
"Wha what is it?" stammered William Philander. "This piece of candy I have! It tastes awfully queer!" "So does this piece I have!" groaned the dudish student. "Oh, Mr. Tubbs, what kind of candy is it anyway? My teeth are are stuck fast in it!" At this moment the aunt of the young lady came in. She looked in wonder at the others, for both were making wry faces.
Ham Spink and his cronies were intensely jealous, but did not dare to give vent to their feelings. Snap and his chums took no notice of the dudish youth and his followers. "We have the best of it, and they know it," said Snap. "Boys, we must go out again, this winter," said Shep. "Come, what do you say?"
It was the third day at sea, when Harry, who had suffered but little from seasickness, came on deck, after a good dinner, and saw the dudish passenger, till now invisible, holding himself steady with an effort, and gazing sadly out upon the wild waste of waters without the help of his eyeglass. "How do you feel, Mr. Clinton?" asked Harry. "Horribly, Mr.
"Tom, you are poking fun at me!" cried the dudish student, as a snicker went up from the other youths. "And please don't call me Tubby, I beg of you," pleaded William Philander. "All right, Billy Gander," murmured Tom. "It shan't occur again." "Billy Gander! That is worse than Tubby!" groaned the dudish youth. "Oh, you are awful!" he added, and strode off, trying to look very indignant.
"They say they know you knocked Andrew Felps down," went on Dudder, finding some consolation in the fact that Ham was in difficulties too. "They didn't see a thing!" roared the dudish youth. "Well, that is what they say." "Humph! Carl, they are bound to get us into trouble." "Of course. They haven't got over last summer's trouble yet. I suppose they will make it as hot for us as they can."
