There were thus many hours when he turned to the silent consolations of the chapel. So familiar had he grown with the images on its walls that he had a name for every one: the King, the Knight, the Lady, the children with guinea-pigs, basilisks and leopards, and lastly the Friend, as he called Saint Francis.
It is unnecessary for me to describe the cobra or to say anything about the countless thousands who have yielded up their lives to it. I have here a small quantity of the venom" he indicated it in a glass beaker. "It was obtained in New York, and I have tested it on guinea-pigs. It has lost none of its potency."
And they've collected everything postage-stamps, minerals, butterflies, coins, and cigarette pictures. And they've kept everything rabbits, goats, bull-terriers, white mice, a pony, and guinea-pigs." "And owned, and subsequently discarded, to my certain knowledge, a music-box, doll's-house, puppet-show, printing-press, steam-engine, aquarium, and camera."
Stephen found himself along with his trusty ally, Paul, and his equally trusty enemy, Bramble, and some ten other Guinea-pigs and Tadpoles, wedged like sardines upon a form that would comfortably hold six, eagerly canvassing the prospects of the struggle. "The Sixth are going to win in a single innings, if you fellows want to know," announced Bramble, with all the authority of one who knows.
Darwin's conclusion was that "the effects of injuries, especially when followed by disease, or perhaps exclusively when thus followed, are occasionally inherited." Let us now see what Professor Weismann has to say against this. He writes: "The only cases worthy of discussion are the well-known experiments upon guinea-pigs conducted by the French physiologist, Brown-Sequard.
"School News" was the first item of Tony's bill of fare. Christmas prize-day of course came in for a good share of the description, and contained a touch-off for everybody. "The Guinea-pigs and Tadpoles," said the Dominican, "looked quite unearthly in their cleanliness. It was commonly reported that one or two of them had washed their faces twice in one week. But this is hardly credible.
"There must be," said the Doctor, as if to himself, "some eternal vast reservoir somewhere, that stores up all this terrible total of unnecessary suffering the cruel and needless suffering inflicted upon children and animals, in particular. Perhaps it's a spiritual serum used for the saving of the race. Perhaps races higher up than we use it as we use rabbits and guinea-pigs.
The universal conclusion was that it had reference to the suppression of the Tadpoles and Guinea-pigs a proceeding the very suggestion of which made those small animals tremble with mingled rage and fear, and sent them off wriggling to their own quarters, there to deliberate on the means of defence necessary to protect themselves from the common enemy.
To the Guinea-pigs half the charm of their position had been that they were Greenfield senior's sole champions in all Saint Dominic's. While every one else avoided him, they stuck to him, week-days and Sundays. Now, however, they discovered, with something like consternation, that they no longer had the field to themselves.
Anyhow, the Guinea-pigs and Tadpoles missed the rest of the Dominican, which, however, only contained one other paragraph of special interest: "To-morrow week the football match of the season, School against County, will be played in the Saint Dominic's meadow.
