Glyn was silent for a few moments, and then he started, for he saw that Morris was evidently waiting for him to leave the room; so, going down on one knee quickly, he locked up the trunk, with a feeling of resentment growing stronger within him, and as he rose and faced the master again his mind was made up.
Of course we couldn't get to old Wrench's place. He sleeps in a turn-up bed in his pantry, I believe. I'd soon turn him down, if I could," cried Glyn, as he poured the contents of his jug into the basin. "But you had an idea," said Singh. Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, came from the basin as the boy thrust in his face. Singh uttered a sound like a snarl.
"All right," said Glyn coolly. "But lock that belt up first at the bottom of your box or where it's safest." "Not I," cried Singh loftily. "I can't stop to think of a few rubbishing gems when my honour's at stake like this."
"No, I say, don't," cried Glyn. "They make noise enough there as it is." "Noise!" echoed Singh. "They don't call that noise."
"Well," said Glyn gloomily, "why don't you go down?" "Because I don't want to," was the reply; and no more was said.
We have both been saving ever since we were engaged; but it takes a long time to make your saving much when you can only put away a few pounds apiece every year." "Oh, well, look here," cried Glyn; "if you'll promise not to get married while we are here at the school, I'll give you let's see, what shall I say? five pounds. I dare say father will give it to me. Now, Singh, what will you do?"
But when you had such a showy thing, you ought to have had gumption enough to know how to take care of it. Well, it will be a lesson to you to know how to behave by-and-by when you come out among your own people as a prince. You won't go pitching your jewels about then as if you were asking people to come and help themselves." "But it was like this, father " began Glyn.
After that the game went on, with Glyn seeming to do what he liked with the enemy's bowling, all the rest of his eleven playing a good steady game, Singh getting the most modest score; for, much as he shone as a wicket-keeper, he was not specially handy with his bat. Still, he added his modicum, till all had fallen.
It was pleasant and shady beneath the elms, and a faintly heard grunt of satisfaction came to the two boys' ears as they saw the great fugitive reach up, twist its indiarubber-like trunk, and gather together a bunch of twigs, which it snapped off, and then, reversing its elastic organ, stood tucking them into its peculiarly moist mouth. "Oh, he's quiet and tame enough," said Glyn.
Singh started as sharply as if he had received a slap on the shoulder, scrambled up something long tied up in brown paper that lay by his side, thrust it into the trunk, and began to cover it quickly with some of the articles that had been taken out. "Ha, ha! Caught you!" cried Glyn. "What have you got there? Cakes or a box of sweets?" "Neither," said Singh rather slowly.
