Two of you, Stafford and Felgate, recently felt specially aggrieved by something which Mr Bickers said to you. You must forget all that now, and remember only that your duty to the whole school requires that you should do everything in your power to help to put an end to this scandal." "Of course we shall," said Felgate, curtly, in a tone which Railsford did not consider particularly encouraging.
Two other fellows have started dogs on the strength of Smiley already, and there's to be a clean sweep of the lot." "Oh, rot! you can't interfere with fellows' rights like that," said Felgate. "I tell you Railsford gave us leave," repeated Arthur.
And the righteous soul of Felgate waxed hot within him, and he set himself to consider how, with least risk to himself, and most mischief to everyone else, he could drive a wedge into the project of his colleagues, and make to himself a party in Railsford's. He passed in review the various rules of the house, to discover someone on which he might possibly found a grievance.
Barnworth there being no more chairs in the room sat as gracefully as he could on the corner of the table. "I thought it would be well," began Railsford, still dallying with the poker "won't you bring your chair in nearer, Stafford?" Stafford manoeuvred his chair in between Ainger and Felgate. "I thought it would not be a bad thing haven't you a chair, Barnworth? dear me!
Is this room large enough, or shall we come outside?" Felgate stared at him in consternation. "Whatever do you mean?" "To fight." "Rot! I'm not going to fight." "Very well. Then I give you your choice a thrashing like that I gave Hunger just now; or you can go and put on your flannels and come down to the field." Felgate hesitated. He had rarely been in such an awkward fix.
Railsford felt a little hurt at his evident want of sympathy in his story, and was beginning to look out for a chance of escaping, when Doctor Ponsford said "I wanted to see you last night about Felgate, your prefect. I had a very unsatisfactory interview with him. He appears to lack principle, and, as you said, not to recognise his responsibility in the house.
"Doesn't matter whether you go in first or last, you're in the game." "Well," said Dig resignedly, "I don't think I am, really; but if I am, I hope I get Roaring Tommy." Simson had not much difficulty in filling up his list. Felgate had had no intention of allowing his name to be used, and was indeed in blissful ignorance that his support was generally known.
He can't possibly win it unless he's able to read every moment of his time; and that our grave and reverend seniors don't mean to allow." "Brutal shame," said Munger, "hounding him down like that I've half a mind to stick out." "That's what Sherriff said," sneered Felgate, "but he had to knuckle under." "Catch me knuckling under!" said Munger.
"I thought so," said Felgate. "Why could you not say that before, Mr Simple?" And Simson descended from his perch amid laughter and jeers, not quite sure whether he had not committed a crime beside which the offence of the prisoner at the bar was a trifle. "Call William Tomkins," said Barnworth.
His impulse was immediately to summon Felgate, and mete out to him exemplary chastisement for his dastardly act. But on second thoughts he remembered that he was, or rather he would be to-morrow, no longer master of the house. Besides, much as the chastisement might have relieved his own feelings, it would leave the house and everyone in it in much the same position as heretofore.
