"I am not betraying a confidence in telling you this. She admits that she neglects her work. She says she is going to settle down after mid-year's exams and work." "I think she's about the most snobbish proposition I ever came across," announced Elfreda. "It would serve her right if she did flunk in her examinations. I hope with all my heart she falls down with an awful bump."
Such was his gusto that he did not seem to notice the lukewarmness of the father's and son's greeting. Mr. Giddings introduced John, Paul, and Tom, and then the publisher of the Clarion continued with good-humored raillery: "I'm mighty glad to see you fellows here, for I began to think you would get scared and flunk us at the last moment.
"It's the postman," suggested Uncle Tom, wickedly. "It's Peter!" cried Honora, triumphantly, from the hall as she flunk open the door, letting in a breath of cold Christmas air out of the sunlight. It was Peter, but a Peter who has changed some since perambulator days, just as Honora has changed some.
Dan, deeply embarrassed, muttered something about understanding perfectly about Wotherspoon, and that he knew him to be a decent enough sort of chap. "Do you know," went on the girl, "I myself was rather startled at first when you said that no man that you could not tell whether you would flunk in time of danger.
Why, you poor fish there isn't any other man in the country who'd have had the common sense to do what you did to know that it would be a sensible move." "Some day, Eric," grinned Carroll, "I'm going to throw you down I'm going to flunk on a case. And then you'll say to my face what you must often have thought that I'm a lucky, old-maidish detective."

"Did you?" he asked, eagerly. "I was afraid I had grown so stout you would not remember me at all. Queer how a man will grow stout. I am not such a big eater, either, and I have worked hard, and well, I might have been worse off, but I must say I have seen men who seemed to me happier, though I have made the best of things. I always did despise a flunk. But you!
"But you can live, even if you should flunk math," Patty continued reassuringly. "Other people have done it before you." "If it were only geometry but we're scared over Latin." "Oh, Latin! There's no use studying for that, for you can't possibly read it all over, and if you just pick out a part, it's sure not to be the same part they pick out.
And each knew that that one of the faculty who dared to flunk the son of old man Hallowell, who had endowed Stillwater, who supported Stillwater, and who might be expected to go on supporting Stillwater indefinitely, might also at the same time hand in his official resignation. Chancellor Black, the head of Stillwater, was an up-to-date college president.
I knock under, I holler, I give in, have mercy on me. Can you rid me of this horrid mark, for I can't flunk out in the street in this rig."
