This drunken presumption put us out of order; yet casting an eye on the combatants, we saw oisters and scallops running from the pots, and another boy receiving them in a charger, which he carried round the guests. Nor was the cook's ingenuity short of the rest, for he brought us a dish of grill'd snails on a silver gridiron, and with a shrill unpleasant voice, sang as he went.
How would men treat him when he should no longer be the same Robinson? How had he condescended to Poppins! how had he domineered at the "Goose and Gridiron!" how had he patronized those who served him in the shop! Men remember these things of themselves quite as quickly as others remember them.
Out over on the side lines officers and their families, and hordes of visitors, were filing toward the seats. Across at the east side of the gridiron, Lehigh's few hundred sympathizers were already bunched, and were making up with noise for their smallness of numbers. Among the Army "boosters" the uniforms of the officers brightened the picture.
Dick Prescott, in particular, was coached much in private, as well as on the actual gridiron. "Keep yourself in keen good shape, Mr. Prescott," Mr. Morton insisted. "We need your help in scalping Tottenville next Saturday." As the week wore along Mr. Morton and Captain Wadleigh became more and more pleased with themselves and with their associates. "I don't see how we can fail tomorrow," said Mr.
West did not turn up at the gridiron, but a tiny scarlet speck far off on the golf links proclaimed his whereabouts.
"It was the young lady of the 'ouse that gave 'er that nice dress," said Julia. "My eye! she must have been a favourite." At that moment Mrs. Saunders picked the steak from the gridiron, and putting it on a nice hot plate she carried it in her apron to Jim, saying, "Mind yer 'ands, it is burning 'ot."
Drawing down the border of her dress, my conductor showed me a sight more revolting than I trust ever again to behold. The poor girl's back was flayed until the quivering flesh resembled a fresh beefsteak scorched on a gridiron. With a cold chill creeping through my veins, I turned away from the sickening spectacle, and for an explanation of the affair scanned the various persons about the room.
"I'll bet my pile," said a rough voice, "that the gridiron bunting won't float another day in South Carolina." "I'll go you halves on that, hoss, and you and I won't grow greyer nor we be, before Old Virginny says 'me too." "Seth Rawbon, you'd better be packing your traps for Massachusetts. She'll want you afore long."
He never had the pluck to owe much, and if it be a sin to have wiped his slate clean, satisfied his creditors, and made Charles easy upon my conscience, I must confess that F. B. has done it. I hope I may never do anything worse in this life, Clive. It ain't bad to see him doing the martyr, sir: Sebastian riddled with paper pellets; Bartholomew on a cold gridiron. Here comes the lobster.
"You think I'm going to lose, don't you, Greg?" demanded Prescott grimly. "Oh, I hope not," protested Cadet Holmes staunchly. "But you think so, just the same," smiled Dick. "Now, Greg, do you remember the old Gridley High School spirit? Do you remember that our coaches told us to enter every battle on gridiron or diamond with the firm conviction that we couldn't be beaten?
