In addition to this, Garston and Teal had left, and Rosher, who had now joined the Fifth, seemed to be increasing in wisdom as well as in stature, and no longer sought the bubble reputation in official visits to the headmaster's study. In short, Jack had improved with his surroundings.
Tudor, you cannot unsay your own words, that it was right for you all to make much of Miss Garston. I thought this was spoken in the worst possible taste, and I am sure Mr. Hamilton thought so too, for he smiled slightly and said, 'Nonsense, Etta! you let your tongue run away with you.
I am rather a sceptic about female missions, Miss Garston, and do not always measure my words when I am discussing abstract theories with a friend. In my opinion Cunliffe is the one you ought to blame, though if the speech rankles I will take my share. 'I certainly wish you had not said it, Mr. Hamilton.
'You have let yourself get rather too low, and so it will be hard work to pull you up again; but we mean to do it between us, eh, Miss Garston? I told him that I hoped Gladys would soon be better.
I don't look a bit like Jill. Jocelyn Adelaide Garston, bridesmaid. 'You look charming, Jill I mean Jocelyn. 'Oh, how horrid it sounds from your lips, Ursie! I like my own funny little name best from you. Now come and let me finish you. And Jill, in spite of her fine dress, would persist in waiting on me.

"Take the reign of Elizabeth," he said. "By-the-bye, there's a genealogical tree at the end of the chapter; get that up if you can." The examination next morning was a written one, and the last question on the board was, "Show, by means of a genealogical tree, the connection between the Tudors and the Stuarts." "Please, sir," said Garston, "you told us we needn't do that."
'This is just what I like, she said promptly. 'When Giles told us about you, and I made up my mind to call, I hoped you would ask me to stay. I do dislike stiffness and conventionality excessively. I hope you mean to be friends with us, Miss Garston, for I have taken rather a fancy to you, in spite of your grave looks. Dear me! do you always look so grave? 'Oh no, I returned, laughing.
She watched his looks anxiously, and, though she coaxed and flattered him, she did not seem quite certain how he would take her speeches. 'We are a strange household; don't you think so, Miss Garston? she observed presently. 'Giles is our lord and master. None of us poor women dare to contradict him.
