Loman's only reply was a book shied at his fag's head quite explicit enough for all practical purposes. So Stephen hauled down his colours and prepared to start. "Look sharp back," said Loman, "and don't let any one see you going out. Look here, you can get yourself some brandy-balls with this."
Though of course the captain's word was final, the two friends felt that they had not been quite fairly dealt with in the matter. They took no trouble to conceal what they thought from Loman himself, who seemed to derive considerable satisfaction from the fact, and to determine to keep his hand on the new boy quite as much for the sake of "scoring off" his rivals as on the fag's own account.
That fellow will have a fit the next and every time he sees the smallest St. Amory's fag's cap." "I say, Acton, you're an awful brick to back me up like that." "Don't mention it, Bourne. Come and have some tea with me, and I'll pour oil into your wounds, or at any rate, I'll paint 'em."
It need hardly be stated with what yells of ecstasy this announcement was received, as we rushed from our seats, lightened of the sombre dread of "Friday's business." In the evening, I was summoned to the tea-table of Gregory, my puissant master, to account, if I could, for my presumptuous absence at a time when every fag's presence was so imperatively required.
If I eat up my fag's plum-cake just sent by his mamma, hot, as it were, from the maternal heart, and moist with a mother's tears, is that fag likely to be selfish? Not at all. The boots, and the kicking, and the general walloping make him manly. It teaches him to govern his temper and hold his tongue.
"And so," King was saying in a high head voice to Beetle, whom he had kept to play with before Manders minor, well knowing that it hurts a Fifth-form boy to be held up to a fag's derision, "and so, Master Beetle, in spite of all our verses, which we are so proud of, when we presume to come into direct conflict with even so humble a representative of authority as myself, for instance, we are turned out of our studies, are we not?"
Fag's phrase, I take to be, "the discreetest of whips," kept his presence of mind, when losing his equilibrium, so that he managed to keep the horses in hand until we all got out. July 16. Very unsatisfactory to-day.
"All right, Brown; I'll talk with you afterwards. Sorry your Roman nose is out of joint; but nobody proposed you, you know, so shut up. Gentlemen " "Hear, hear!" It must go with a bang from start to finish. It must lick every other fag's concert that ever was, and 'be the bright harbinger of What is the rest of the quote, Wilson?" "'Of future joys, you ass." "'Of future joys, you asses."
Captain Kettle died for his country with moderate regularity, and on one occasion, when he attempted to extract some milk from the very centre of a fag's tea-party, almost died for another reason. Then the end came suddenly. Trentham had been invited to supper one Sunday by Mr Prater. When he arrived it became apparent to him that the atmosphere was one of subdued gloom.
