Also, Truslow was physically inconsequent, in his colleague's estimation "a little insignificant, dudish kind of a man," he had thought; one whom he would have darkly suspected of cigarettes had he not been dumbfounded to behold Truslow smoking an old black pipe in the lobby. The Senator from Stackpole had looked over the other's clothes with a disapproval that amounted to bitterness.
Here they hunted and fished to their heart's content, being joined in some of their sports by Jed Sanborn, an old hunter and trapper who lived in the mountains between the lakes. They had some trouble with Ham Spink, a dudish youth from Fairview, who, with some cronies, located a rival camp across the lake, but this was quickly quelled.
At his announcement, a great hubbub arose on all sides. "Tubbs! is he a baseball pitcher?" "I didn't know he knew a thing about baseball." "That dude launching a fadeaway? That gets me!" "Where did he learn to pitch?" "Who put him on the team?" "Say, Tubbs, explain this, won't you?" This last remark came from four students in unison. "You let me out of this!" cried the dudish student in despair.
He was telling me last night about a comical, dudish looking fellow whom he saw on the train, and who got off at Silver City, and he said he was coming up here into the mountains in company with another young gentleman; he thought I would be likely to see them, and I think they are the new boarders." "Why, have you seen them?" asked Miss Gladden, in surprise.
"And cut up that rubber band into pieces for jujube-paste!" Dick was at the door on guard, and presently he gave a low whistle, to notify the others that Tubbs was coming back. Instantly Tom shut the candy box, put back the paper covering and ribbon; and then he and Sam slipped out of the dormitory by a side door, so that the dudish student might not see them.
One dreadful day, when he had been nagged to fisticuffs with Wesley, whose dudish dignity exacted a certain restraint with the hot-headed youngster, Elisha Boone, behind the thick hedge, heard on the highway outside his grounds this outrageous anathema: "You're no more than a thief, Wes Boone; your father stole all he's got.
After that the two dudish boys confessed what had been done, laying the greater part of the blame on the others of their party. Snap and his chums were rightly indignant. "We ought to duck you in the lake and then have you locked up," said Snap. "It is what you deserve." "No, no!" came with a shiver from Dick Bush. "Let us off, and I'll pay my share of the damage done."
"Boys, we have got the chance of our lives to get square with that crowd now," he added. Matters were speedily explained, and all of the dudish boys present voted it would be just the thing to go over to the other camp and "make a mix of it," as they expressed it. No time was lost in getting away from their own camp, and it did not take them long to get to the opposite shore of the lake.
At the same time, William Philander Tubbs came to the college from Putnam Hall. He was a dudish fellow, who thought far more of dress than of gaining an education, and he was often made the butt of some practical joke. It did not take the Rover boys long to make a number of friends at Brill.
"Tell the truth, Bush, unless you want us to duck you in the lake!" At the mention of a ducking the dudish boy lost the most of his courage. "Don't do that!" he whined. "I -that is, it was only a joke. We -er -we took the boat to the other side of the lake." "So that we could walk around to our camp, eh?" said Snap, his eyes showing his anger.
