On one occasion, when I was in the fourth form of the school, one of my schoolfellows, a boy named Starke, suddenly fell dead, and the tragic event aroused so much sympathy, that not only did the whole school attend the funeral, but the headmaster also ordered that a poem should be written in commemoration of the ceremony, and that this poem should be published.
Watson, 'he was distanced by men immeasurably his inferiors. Nor can this, as Mr. Watson rightly adds, be regarded as a condemnation of the system rather than of my brother. 'I attempted to prepare him in mathematics, and the well-known Dr. Scott, afterwards headmaster of Westminster, was his private tutor in classics; and we agreed in marvelling at and deploring the hopelessness of our tasks.
You must leave the room now, and besides all your other punishments I must also report you to the headmaster. You can best judge with what result." This was a mistake of Mr Paton's a mistake of judgment only for which he cannot be blamed. But it was a disastrous mistake.
'They carried him back to the house. 'MacArthur's house? 'Yes, sir. 'Oh, well, I suppose he will be all right then. Graham, just go across and report to the Headmaster, will you? You'll find him in his study. The Head was immensely relieved to hear Tony's narrative.
The picture on the retina of the eye, consequently, had not time to fade. I remember thinking myself, at the moment, that the boot appeared to have a certain reddish tint. The mistake " "Bah!" said Mr. Downing shortly. "Well, really," said the headmaster, "it seems to me that that is the only explanation that will square with the facts.
Whenever Fenn had had occasion to call on the headmaster hitherto, Watson had admitted him with the air of a high priest leading a devotee to a shrine of which he was the sole managing director. This evening he seemed restless, excited. "Good evening, Mr Fenn," he said. "This way, sir." Those were his actual words. Fenn had not known for certain until now that he could talk.
It was not his dog, he could look on the affair with an unbiased eye, and to him there was something ludicrous in a white dog suddenly appearing as a red dog. "It is a scandalous thing!" said Mr. Downing. "Quite so! Quite so!" said the headmaster hastily. "I shall punish the boy who did it most severely. I will speak to the school in the Hall after chapel." Which he did, but without result.
On the wall of a passage adjoining the kitchen is a singular painting, supposed to be emblematical of a "trusty servant", compounded of a man, a hog, a deer, and an ass. The explanatory words beneath it are attributed to Dr. Christopher Jonson, headmaster from 1560 to 1571.
The only part of the college buildings which formed part of the original school is the college hall, built by Abbot Litlington in 1380 as the monks' refectory. A stranger gymnasium, surely, no school can boast. The name of Dr. Busby, Headmaster from 1638 to 1695, will be for ever held in honour at Westminster.
Mike heard the words "English Essay," and, seeing that the conversation was apparently going to be one of some length, capped the headmaster and walked off. He was just going to read the letter when the bell rang. He put the missive in his pocket, and went to his form-room wondering what Marjory could have found to say to Bob to touch him on the raw to such an extent.
