He beheld Belle Meade, seated at the side, while Farley bent over her in an inviting attitude. Darrin quickly reached the scene. Belle saw him coming, just in time to refrain from taking Farley's arm. "You won't mind this time, will you, Farl?" Dave asked, smiling. "I had given you up," said Belle, as they moved away together in the dance. "Of course Dan told you what had delayed me."
"Dan didn't say a word to me about going anywhere, but " "You think, leave being impossible, Danny has Frenched it over the wall?" demanded Farley. "That's just what I'm afraid of," returned Dave. "But why " "I don't know any reason." "Then " "Farl", broke in Dave hurriedly, almost fiercely, "has anyone a doughface?" "Yes." "Who has it?" "I don't know." "Find it -on the jump!" "But "
"Give it over to me and I'll take care of it," Farley replied. "Say, did you hear a tungsten bulb blow up in the night!" "Did It" echoed Darrin devoutly. Then a sudden suspicion crossed his mind. "Say, how did that happen, Farl?" demanded Dave. "If anyone should ask you " began the other midshipman. "Yes ?" pressed Darrin.
"Whew, fellows!" he muttered. "Only ten minutes to taps." That sent most of the midshipmen scuttling away. "Farl," murmured Darrin, "for the first time tonight I'm feeling a bit worried." "Over Danny?" "The same." "What's up?" "Why, he hasn't been around all evening. Surely Dalzell would be coming back by this time, unless " "Not that I've heard of," Dave Darrin answered quickly.
"Do so, Captain," said Lord Menteith; "you will have the night to think of it, for we are now near the house, where I hope to ensure you a hospitable reception." "And that is what will be very welcome," said the Captain, "for I have tasted no food since daybreak but a farl of oatcake, which I divided with my horse.
All I did was to try to throw my personal weight against it." "And you compelled the class to adjourn without attending to Jetson's case." "You're wrong, there, Farl" "Didn't you?" "I certainly didn't." "Darry, you knew the class wouldn't vote to send you to Coventry just because you had ventured to give your opinion.
The hill was steep and the stoups heavy, but I managed to carry them back one at a time and placed them on the bench. She handed me a farl of oatcake and I went away. It was the sweetest bite I ever got. It was not nearly dark when I climbed a dyke to get into a sheltered nook and fell asleep. Something soft and warm licking my face woke me. It was a dog and it was broad day.
"What on earth made you bring him to me?" "Because I thought you needed each other." "Well, perhaps we did," laughed Midshipman Darrin. "At any rate I've been hammering at Farl all the time that he wasn't hammering at me. I certainly feel better, and I hope that he does." "You both needed the same thing," declared Dan, grinning even more broadly as he picked up his hair brushes.
So he's going to resign. I've told him you'll know just how to handle his case. Go after him, now!" Midshipman Dalzell pulled the door shut, chuckling softly to himself, and marched back to the library. It was just before the call for supper formation when Dan returned from "boning" in the library. "Did you brace Farl up, Davy?" demanded Dan. "You grinning idiot!" laughed Darrin.
"Well, perhaps one might, though never on the small amount that has come to me so far in life. And this Navy orchestra plays so divinely!" "Hang you, Farl!" muttered Dave. "That's just like Darrin, Miss Meade," laughed Farley. "He's always a monopolist at heart. Though in this instance I am far from wondering at his desire to be." It was the first hop after the semi-annual exams.
