But for once Mansell really tried at something besides games. For two halls he worked solidly from seven till ten, preparing small slips of paper that contained all the notes he could find in Gordon's notebook, and that could fit conveniently into the back of a watch. Everything was in his favour. Claremont was taking exams. The first paper was Old Testament history.
Writing is like duck hunting, one doesn't know what game he will get or when he will be back: that is why I am undecided. I make everything wait upon my writing. It is cold here, down to four two mornings; good sleighing. I rec'd your letter yesterday, I do not know about those plays ask Mr. I hope you are prospering in your exams. This is the new pen, do not like it much yet.
"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."
When they were at the office and the father was about to enter the inner room to change his clothes, he wheeled and said: "Why ain't you at Harvard, passing your examinations?" Arthur's hands contracted and his eyes shifted; in a tone to which repression gave a seeming lightness, he announced: "The exams, are over. I've been plucked." The slang was new to Hiram Ranger, but he understood.
Poor old Robert and exams, and beastly, bullying fathers and hard-upness the latter more especially were all supremely funny. But Robert would not look at the jam-puff which she pushed across to him. "Thanks. I hate the beastly stuff." And yet it was a flaky thing, oozing, as Rufus had declared, with real raspberry jam. And he was very young. But he would not give way. Could not.
Lynch began to sing softly and solemnly in a deep bass voice: IMPLETA SUNT QUAE CONCINIT DAVID FIDELI CARMINE DICENDO NATIONIBUS REGNAVIT A LIGNO DEUS. That's great! he said, well pleased. Great music! They turned into Lower Mount Street. A few steps from the corner a fat young man, wearing a silk neckcloth, saluted them and stopped. Did you hear the results of the exams? he asked.
It was not that he was so much interested in the subject at that particular moment but it was certainly fine to have Belle Meade for an interested listener. "Well, you're half way through your course," put in Belle at last. "You passed your last annual examinations in June." "Yes." "How did you stand in your exams?" "I came through with honors," Dave declared unblushingly.
But it didn't, and I never could pass the exams, so I simply fell into this from sheer vanity." "That is not so," expostulated the new Shirley. "Bobbie would never have dreamed such a thing if Dol Vin did not happen along with her wonderful plan. You may imagine she was the real brains of the plot." "Dol Vin "
"Do you suppose Georgia Ames will be on this one?" "Who can tell?" said Rachel. "There'll be somebody that we know anyway. Wasn't that first day queer and creepy?" "Yes," agreed Betty, "when nobody got off but freshmen frightened to pieces about their exams. And that was only two days ago! It seems two weeks.
He was one of those boys who have definite charm, and manner, and poise at seventeen, and who crib their exams off their cuffs. He was always at the head of any social plans in the school, and at the dances he rushed about wearing in his coat lapel a ribbon marked Floor Committee. The teachers all knew he was a bluff, but his engaging manner carried him through.
