He had a long moustache, his clothes carried the odour of stale tobacco, his legs seemed hung on to his body by hooks that every day appeared less likely to maintain the weight attached to them. His face wore a self-depreciatory smile. He was most mercilessly "ragged." The day when he took exams in big school will never be forgotten.
"It's all settled as it ought to be," declared Cadet Jordan. "You mean " asked Durville. "Why, either Prescott will have to be 'found' in his exams., or else he'll be bound to resign as soon as he has proved that his departure from West Point was not due to poor scholarship. Which ever way he prefers to do it, the fellow will have to get out of the corps within the next few days!"
Anyhow, decide as soon as you can and write me, so that Aunt Jamesina will know what plans to make for next year." "I think it's a good idea," said Priscilla. "So do I," agreed Anne delightedly. "Of course, we have a nice boardinghouse here, but, when all's said and done, a boardinghouse isn't home. So let's go house-hunting at once, before exams come on."
I'm afraid I shan't be very high up." "Oh, you may do better than you expect. Exams. are such a chance. It's just whether you happen to get a nice set of questions or not. I wonder if you'll be in my class. I'm in the upper fourth, Miss Harper's." "Is she nice?" "Well, some adore her, and some don't care for her at all. It depends a good deal on yourself.
But, bless your heart, a GENTLEMAN has no chance for the Army nowadays; a pack of blooming cads, with what they call 'intellect, read up for the exams, and don't give US a look-in; I call it sheer piffle. Then the Guv'nor set me on electrical engineering electrical engineering's played out. I put no stock in it; besides, it's such beastly fag; and then, you get your hands dirty.
I'm afraid of Dr. Kitchell's mathematics." "I'm afraid of everything. I never took an examination of any kind." "Dr. Kitchell is very fair; but he scares you to death weeks before. He is always holding exams up before you like a death's head at the feast." The decided stand taken by Elizabeth caused no little discussion. The meeting adjourned without any definite action being taken.
"People used to say that you went into the navy to get rid of your lessons. That I can quite understand." "Oh, he has passed many difficult exams," cried Giselle, coming to the rescue. "I thought I had had enough of school," said Fred, without making any defense, "and besides I had other reasons for going into the navy."
'And what are you going to be, air? inquired another of the men, turning to Gerald, who was sitting by with a thoughtful face. 'I'm going into the army, I think, answered Gerald; 'but I don't know if I can pass the exams. They're very difficult, but I'm going to try. 'Here are the gentlemen coming back again, said Jim.
"I'm so glad to know you," she said, "and I think I'm going to like you. I'm not so sure about liking college, even though I've worked so hard to get here. I hope to goodness I don't flunk in the exams." "I am sure that any friend of Mabel's is bound to be ours also," said Miriam courteously. She had not made up her mind regarding the newcomer. "Thank you.
Yesterday I became excited and almost said too much, and to-day I rush madly in and mix up affairs in the math. exams. I told Dr. Kitchell what I thought of his method of conducting them." Mary's eyes grew bright. They fairly danced in surprise at Elizabeth's action. "Why, even I would not have dared do that," she said. "I have dared everything at Exeter but Dr. Kitchell.
