But Ernest, though he learned to love the tiny intruder dearly afterwards, had no heart just then to bear the conventional congratulations of his friends and fellow-masters. Another mouth to feed, another life dependent upon him, and little enough, as it seemed, for him to feed it with.
I'm getting more reconciled to the place by this time; indeed, there is no work I like better than teaching, and if I was as certain it was as good for the boys as it is congenial to me I should be perfectly contented. My fellow-masters, with an exception or two, are good fellows, and let me alone. The exceptions are harder to get on with. "As for the boys, I have a really nice lot in my house.
"Did you gather anything from that torrent of words?" Beckmesser asks, with his eyebrows up among his hair, of his fellow-masters. "Now, masters, if you please," Kothner directs, "let the Marker take his seat. Does his lordship," to Walther, "choose a sacred subject?" "One that is sacred to me!" the young man answers magnificently; "The banner of Love I swing and I sing and cherish good hope!"
"You feel yourself competent to take charge of a house of forty to fifty boys, do you? as well as to conduct a class of seventy?" "I have thought over the matter, and tried to realise the duties, and think I can succeed." "Quite right; I like that. No brag," said another of the governors, in an aside. "Your temper is good, is it? you are not likely to fall out with your fellow-masters, are you?"
Unpalatable as it was, there was some force in his visitor's advice, which Railsford was bound to admit. Poor monsieur was not a shining example of successful dealing with his fellow-masters. Still, out of the mouth of the simple one may sometimes hear a home truth.
Peter's, where his fellow-masters treated him with an unaccustomed deference, only partially veiled by mild badinage on the part of the younger men; while even the boys were vaguely aware that he had distinguished himself in the outer world, and Mark found his authority much easier to maintain. 'How's that young rascal what's his name?
Railsford by this time knew most of his fellow-masters to speak to, but this was the first occasion on which he had met them in their corporate capacity, and had he not been personally interested in the proceedings he would felt a pleasant curiosity in the deliberations of this august body. Mr Bickers was already there, and nodded in a most friendly way to the Master of the Shell on his arrival.
Mr Moss did not miss the tone of this question, and fired up himself. "Of course, if you don't mind being systematically snubbed at head- quarters thwarted and slandered by your fellow-masters baulked in every attempt to improve the condition either of your house or the school and misrepresented and undermined in your influence among your boys, you may go up and enjoy it. I didn't.
