He's stood out long enough. Time he began to 'arn." The Headmaster's arguments were of no avail. "I'd got all the schooling I needed by then I was eleven. He's had till he's eighteen. If it's to be of any good to him it'll be good now," said Mr. Silver. To his surprise and secret pleasure his son backed him. He didn't want to go to a University.
What was his attitude to woman? How had he settled this vital question for himself? This had not interested us in the least till then; perhaps we had not even admitted the idea that a man who went out in all weathers in goloshes and slept under curtains could be in love. "'He is a good deal over forty and she is thirty, the headmaster's wife went on, developing her idea.
The class had only just entered the Headmaster's room on the eventful morning, and begun to choose desks, when there came a summons to Laura to take a music-lesson. This was outside consideration, and Dr Pughson made short work of the intruder a red-haired little girl, who blushed meekly and unbecomingly, and withdrew.
He must go down-stairs the moment he had cooled his face; but he would go as some wretched schoolboy goes to the headmaster's room when he guesses that his unforgivable beastliness has been discovered, and that first a thrashing and then expulsion are awaiting him. Some of the lying words that he must utter suggested themselves. "Oh, Norah, this is a poor return you are making for all my kindness.

"Sure as I am that I'm sitting here, sir. They all 'ad their caps on their heads, sir." "I have never heard of such a thing. I can hardly believe that it is possible.
The old gentleman put on his spectacles, and deliberately looked round the row of monitors, who were awaiting the Headmaster's signal to begin the speeches. "Well, haven't you done yet, papa? What an age you are. Walter says you ought to tell at a glance." "Patience, my dear, patience. I'll tell you in a minute."
There was a subdued titter from the adjacent beds. "Silence!" cried Mr. Rowlands. "So you're responsible for this noise and disorder, Fenleigh? If you want to perform as a clown, you had better leave school and join a circus. At nine o'clock to-morrow you will come with me to the headmaster's study."
Man must be a colossal swine." He forgot that last night he had been treating the whole thing as a joke. Rogers was passing by up the Headmaster's drive on the way to his class-room, and overheard this outburst of righteous indignation. His heart was rejoiced to see such a good moral tone in the school.
The headmaster's wife, the inspector's wife, and all our high-school ladies, grew livelier and even better-looking, as though they had suddenly found a new object in life.
