From the rear cars of the train had stepped several boys in citizen's garb, some with parents or guardians and some alone, and all burdened with more or less baggage and a doubtful air that proclaimed them immediately "new boys." The hymn of greeting rose in mournful cadence: "Freshie! Freshie! How-de-do! We're all waiting here for you. Hold your head up! Square each shoulder!
"How-de-do," replied Freddie, blinking in the strong light from the window. "Hope I'm not barging in and all that sort of thing? I came round about this party tonight, you know." "Oh, yes?" "Was wondering," said Freddie, "if you would mind if I brought a friend of mine along? Popped in on me from England this morning. At seven o'clock," said Freddie plaintively. "Ghastly hour, what!
Jack Dysart made a ghastly and supreme effort: "I was just saying to Duane, father, that all this financial agitation is bound to blow over by December Duane Mallett, father!" as the old man raised his eye-glass and peeped up at the young fellow "you know his father, Colonel Mallett."

"How-de-do, Mrs. Marne! Morning, candidate! Welcome aboard." The sister and brother came up the stair, and were cordially greeted by their hosts. "Ashore again!" ordered Varney over the side. "There is another guest."

It's how-de-do an' good-bye, I guess. You're a married man now, Bill, an' you got to keep regular hours. No more runnin' around with the boys.

Well, this was a nice how-de-do! Five boys, all captured. Still, the same had happened to other boys, and to trained scouts. Nobody could blame them, but they felt rather sore.
