Hawkesbury smiled in a pitiful sort of way at Mr Hashford, and again turned towards me to resume the conversation. "You see " began he. "Hawkesbury," again said Mr Hashford, "this is the third time I have told you not to talk." "Who was talking?" cried the Henniker, entering at that moment. "Hawkesbury, I'm sorry to say, Miss Henniker." "Hawkesbury a bad mark for "
But no, he seemed all right, and having said what he had to say, went on with his work. Hawkesbury took no notice of the interruption, and went on. "And, on the whole, I think it would be kinder not to say anything about it, as he has kept it a secret himself. You see " "Hawkesbury," again said Mr Hashford, "you must not talk."
And so doubtless he would have done, had not Mr Hashford appeared at that very moment on the gravel walk and summoned us in to preparation. This interruption was most unsatisfactory. Those who wanted to see what the new boy was made of were disappointed, and those whose dignity wanted putting to-rights were still more disappointed. But there was no helping it.
It was a critical moment, for every thing depended on our getting both into the room together. Smith, so he told us afterwards, found both Mr Ladislaw and Mr Hashford talking together in the study of the former. He entered the room suddenly, and crying, in an agitated voice, "Oh, will you both please step up to Miss Henniker's parlour at once? Please be quick!" as suddenly vanished.
"`To Mr Ladislaw, Miss Henniker, and Mr Hashford, We, the undersigned boys of Stonebridge House, are willing to release you on the following conditions: "`1. That leave be given to the boys to talk to one another when not in class. That detention for bad marks given by Miss Henniker be abolished. That you say nothing to any one about all this.
Class went on, and the clock was getting on to twelve the usual hour for a break when the door opened, and Mr Ladislaw put in his head and said, "Smith, will you step down to my study? Mr Hashford, the mid-day bell will not ring till one to-day."
