In their distress they waited upon Felgate and laid their case before him. He, as is usual with gentlemen of his type, said it was very hard and unjust, and they would do quite right in resisting and defying everybody all round. But he did not offer to go instead of them to the doctor, so that his general observations on the situation were not particularly comforting.
Felgate nodded. "They are confiscated by the rules of the school," said Railsford. "They will be returned to you after breaking-up. I wish I were able to return them to you now, and rely on your honour not to repeat your offence." "I don't want them back," said Felgate, with a sneer. "You may smoke them yourself, sir." He repented of the insult before it had left his lips.
Children's dress was patterned identically after that of their elders and, as may be imagined, very little freedom of movement was afforded. The inventory of Philip Felgate, Gentleman, of Lower Norfolk County, entered on the records, 1646, shows that some of the more elegant styling in dress had been brought to the Colony at that time.
"You see it would be rough to take him from his mother while he is so young. It's not as if he was no relation." "Of course not. What have you been doing with Marky these holidays?" "Oh, he was seedy sore throat. I fancy he was shamming a bit to get a week extra. You see, he's spoons on my sister Daisy." "I fancy I've heard that before," observed Felgate.
"Not a bit of it," said Arthur, flushed by his triumph. "I'll believe it when I see it," said Felgate sceptically. "I'll show it you now," said Arthur, "if you'll promise to keep it dark. I'm not making up a bit of it." "If you aren't, all I can say is Where are they?" "Come and see," said Arthur, leading the way to his study. Dig was out on leave in the village.
Felgate looked blank at this announcement. "What!" he exclaimed. "Go to the doctor? Are you going to tell him about a trifle like this?" "It is no trifle for a prefect deliberately to break the school rules and encourage others to do so. I have said the same thing to you before." "Look here, Mr Railsford," said Felgate, with a curious mixture of cringing and menace.
I have not myself found any reason to consider Felgate or Stafford untrustworthy. Mr Bickers says " "I know what Mr Bickers says; but what do you say?" "Well, sir, frankly, I do not feel quite sure of Felgate; and Stafford is too amiable to say `no' to anybody." "Now let me hear about the affair this morning."
But Ainger, the boy chiefly interested in sports, was sulking; and Barnworth, who also was an athlete, was too absorbed in speculating what remark was maturing itself in Felgate's mind to heed what was being said. "I suppose the house has an eleven for instance?" "Yes, generally," said Stafford. Felgate now came in with his remark.
Fancy, young Herapath, unless he's making a joke, which isn't much in his line, says Railsford's engaged to his sister; and on that account the young beggar and his precious chum get leave to have Sykes' study and do what they like. They may, for all I shall interfere. If it's a family affair, you don't catch me poking my nose into it!" "Engaged, is he?" cried Felgate, laughing. "What a joke!"
By reason of which ill-usage and threats, he, the deponent, went in bodily fear of his life. "Oh, and please, Mr Railsford, be sure and not let him know I told you, or he'll kill me!" Railsford had another uncomfortable interview with Felgate after this.
