A few minutes later, Tom saw him sit down on a bench to compose verses as industriously as ever. "I think I must be going," said William Philander, who had listened to Songbird's effort without making any comment. "Wait a minute, my dear Billy, I want " "Now, Tom, please don't call me Billy," pleaded the dudish student. "Oh, all right, Philly. I was just going to say "
He takes it all as a matter of course, like an indifferent young husband after the honeymoon is over. His companion joins him the moon-faced fellow and they come around to our box and ogle us. They talk in simpering, dudish tones, and bestow the most lackadaisical glances on different members of our party. The girls shrink back as if contamination itself had come among them.
Then the train came in, and all the young collegians lost no time in getting aboard. "Where are you going, my dear William Philander?" asked Tom, of the dudish student, who sat in front of him. "I am going to Atlantic City," was the somewhat stiff reply, for William Philander had not forgotten the ducking in the river. "Atlantic City!" exclaimed Tom. "Of course, you are not going in bathing?"
The girl, thus suddenly released, stared at the newcomers in astonishment and then sank down on a chair, too much overcome to move or speak. The Rover boys had acted on the impulse of the moment. They had seen that the girl wanted the two dudish young men to leave her alone, and stepping into the kitchen, Dick had tackled Dudd Flockley while Tom and Sam had given their attention to Jerry Koswell.
And sure enough, it was Tubbs, the most dudish pupil Putnam Hall had ever known, and one with whom the cadets had had no end of fun. "My dear old Buttertub, how are you?" called out Tom loudly, and caught the new arrival by the shoulder. "How are you, and how is the wife, and the eight children?" "Why ah is it really Tom Rover!" gasped Tubbs. He stared at Tom and then at Dick and Sam.
A moment later he and Whopper rowed away and soon the darkness hid them from the view of the Spink party. Then the boys on shore drew a sigh of relief. "What rowdies!" declared one boy, who was as dudish as Spink. "I really believe they would have shot us, don't you know!" "Very, very rude," said the youth who had thrown one of the tomatoes.
Speaking of that time, Mr. Adams says: "I can well recall when Edison drifted in to take a job. He was a youth of about eighteen years, decidedly unprepossessing in dress and rather uncouth in manner. I was twenty-one, and very dudish.
They'll hear you," cautioned her sister, for Alice was very impulsive at times. Indeed the dudish actor and Miss Pennington were glancing rather curiously in the direction of our friends. Then Miss Dixon came along, whispering something that caused the other to laugh. "Fawncy that now! Only fawncy!" exclaimed Mr. Towne, in his exaggerated English drawl. "That's a good joke on them!"
A dudish society reporter from Philadelphia dropped into town the other morning. He met a brother reporter from the same paper. "'Oh! he groaned. 'Where can I find a restaurant? "'Restaurant! shrieked the other. 'Where do you think we are? Restaurant! You come with me and I'll try to steal you a ham sandwich, and you'll be mighty lucky to get that. "'Oh! but I am so hungry.
"They tell me that William Philander Tubbs is going to Newport for the summer," said Tom. a little later, when the cadets were getting ready to retire. "Just wait till he gets back next Fall, he'll be more dudish than ever." "We ought to tame him a little before we let him go," said Sam. "Right you are, Sam. But what can we do? Nearly everything has been tried since we went into camp."
