I told the boys dad was Andrew Carnegie, and that he was giving away millions of dollars, so when dad got to the gate of the beautiful H'astor place, the boys yelled Andrew Carnegie, and a flunkey flunked the gate open and dad and I went in, and walked up to the house.
They are a fine old couple, and I don't like to think of them herding with Freshmen in a shine boardinghouse. Black always was a swine." Peter spent fully ten minutes getting to the cable office. "Just learned," he cabled his father, "Gilman dismissed because flunked me consider this outrageous please see he is reinstated." The answer, which arrived the next day, did not satisfy Peter.
Only, he doesn't roar: he is noiseless and invisible don't forget that. Read Matthew 4:1-11. Say, fellows, meet Mr. Almost! He is one of the saddest, most pathetic figures in all the Bible story, not because he was a villain or a murderer come to judgment, but because he was so good and fine, and so nearly perfect, "on points," and yet flunked!
With all the campaign excitement of course we had let our work get crowded out, and the other girls appeared to be in the same fix. When the most dazzling star in the class flunked on a grammatical reference, the instructor bit her lip and sent the question flying up one row and down another as fast as the students could shake their heads.
"You mean that she has been caught stealing before?" asked Eleanor. "Oh, no, but she couldn't make up the French that she flunked at midyears, and she must be behind in other subjects, too. I heard rumors about her having been dropped, and last week I saw the proof of our commencement program. Her name isn't on the diploma list." "Oh, I believe I'm almost glad of that," said Betty softly.
I never did have no use for a whimperer. Of course, I'm plain. Born Duke and married McDougal, but whenever I get in a fog and can't see clear, and so tired out I can't eat, and plum run down, I say to myself, 'Your folks ain't ever flunked yet, and you keep your head where the Lord put it. He put it up. Folks see me laugh a lot. I do.
And don't you remember Professor Squeeler, whose heart seemed to leap with delight whenever he could tell you that, in spite of incessant toil on your part, he had again flunked you in physics with fifty-nine and a half per cent.?" "And he wouldn't raise the mark to sixty! God forgive him, I cannot." Here their exchange of reminiscences was interrupted. There was a stir.
"What! You haven't flunked, Tom? I'd never believe either of you could go back on me like that," cried the other, looking sorely distressed and bitterly disappointed. "Circumstances over which we have no control," continued Tom, while Jack hung his head and looked gloomy, "have arisen to knock our plans galley-west. Much as we'd be pleased to make the game, we simply can't do it."
But I allow when he gets on his hobby he rides rather hard. Most of the other fellows have given up the classics they like the modern-language course with sciences better perhaps it's softer. They say not; but I know the classics are hard enough. I flunked out on my Greek exam junior year. So, you see, I'm not a very good judge. But, anyhow, wasn't the bit he read us from Juvenal simply fine?
If you don't want ter jine in I reckon as how I'll have ter tell ther boss that yer flunked." There was no response to this, and a few moments elapsed in which Ted listened hopefully for his champion's voice.
