It had been a general notion that Prescott, either too proud or too stubborn to allow himself to be forced out, would wait and "fess out cold" at the January semi-annuals. Thus he would be dropped for deficiency, and would not have to admit to anyone that he had allowed himself to be driven from the Military Academy by the "silence" that had been extended to him.
'Kirsty, he said, 'ye're 'maist as strong's a man, and I wudna wullinly ony but oor ain three sels laid finger upo' what's left o' Steenie: are ye up to takin the feet o' 'im to fess him hame? Here's what'll mak it 'maist easy! Kirsty rose at once. 'A drappy o' milk, and I'm ready, she answered. 'Wull ye no tak a moofu' o' whusky yersel' father? 'Na, na; I want naething, replied David.
"Well you ought to be ashamed of yourself; we waited over and took the next train." "Oh, yes, I know all about these very busy people." "Nonsense! I was fooling, of course. But we were sorry you didn't come." "What?" "That girl? Why, what's the matter with you, Robert Orme?" "Business importance? That won't do, Bob. You'll have to 'fess up." "Do I know such a girl? Are you serious?"
"Did ye fess this a' the road frae Spinnie to me, Curly?" "Ay did I, Annie. Ye see I dinna like rottans. But ye maun haud it oot o' their gait for a feow weeks, or they'll rive't a' to bits. It'll sune be a match for them though, I s' warran'. She comes o' a killin' breed." Annie took the kitten home, and it shared her bed that night.
I couldn't think of nothing else to 'fess, said Topsy, wiping her eyes. 'But of course, I didn't want you to confess things you didn't do, said Miss Ophelia. 'That is telling a lie just as much as the other. 'Laws, now, is it? said Topsy, looking surprised and innocent. 'Poor Topsy, said Eva, 'why need you steal? You are going to be taken good care of now.
"I shall tell them myself all about it, and 'fess' to Mother how silly I've been. But I'd rather do it myself. So you'll not tell, will you?" "I give you my word I won't, only what shall I say when they ask me?" "Just say I looked pretty well and was having a good time." "I'll say the first with all my heart, but how about the other? You don't look as if you were having a good time. Are you?"
"Look at us," she said, pulling Judith to the mirror beside her. "'Fess up now Miss, that you are quite as fascinating as your elderly relative. You forget that you've been growing and changing a lot since I've been away." Judith gazed at the reflection in the glass which showed her as a slender childish figure with a lengthening mop of pale, ashy hair and a face of delicate intensity.
In point of fact he did not think so. He liked girls who were good sportsmen and played the game hard. But he was talking merely to bridge a mental stress. "Think they can do anything a man can. 'Fess up, Miss McLean. You'd try to ride any horse I could, no matter how mettlesome it was. Now wouldn't you?" "I wouldn't go that far," she said dryly.
"Hello, girls, we'd have been here sooner if Betty hadn't delayed us." It was Frank Haley who spoke, a handsome young fellow, whose merry grey eyes showed that he deserved his name the first part of it, at least. "Come, 'fess up, Betty," he added, turning to the bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked girl beside him.
But she had only retreated within another of her defences. 'I canna leave thae twa laddies alane. They wad be up to a' mischeef. 'There's Betty to luik efter them, suggested Miss Lammie. 'Betty! returned Mrs. Falconer, with scorn. 'But what for shouldna ye fess the lads wi' ye? suggested Mr. Lammie. 'I hae no richt to burden you wi' them.
