Hoxton's parties at this minute! and, as for herself, look at Norman Ogilvie! No, no, after six weeks' yachting moonlight, sea, and sympathy I defy her to rob Sir Henry of his prize! And, with Meta lady of Cocksmoor, even Ethel herself must be charmed!"
I therefore distinctly state that he came in at half-past nine, with his hands full of plants from the river, and that he then went out again, by my desire, to look for his little brother. Yours very truly, R. May." A long answer came in return, disclaiming all doubt of Norman's veracity, and explaining Dr. Hoxton's grounds for having degraded him.
Hoxton's parties are very dull you know they are, and it is not fair on Norman. If he was set up and delighted at going so often, then you would call him conceited." "Conceit has a good many lurking-places," said Dr. May. "It is harder to go and be overlooked, than to stay at home." "Now, papa, you are not to call Norman conceited," cried Ethel. "You don't believe that he is any such thing."
I should like to see old Hoxton's face, if you were to show him up some of these verses." "I'll tell you what, Norman, if I was you, I would not make Decius flatter himself with the fame he was to get it is too like the stuff every one talks in stupid books. I want him to say Rome my country the eagles must win, if they do never mind what becomes of me."
Hoxton's dull scholarship would chill all pleasure in his studies there would be no companionship among the boys even his supporters, Ernescliffe and Larkins, were gone, and Harry would leave him still under a cloud.
"It has been settled without our interposition, and I have never been able to talk it over calmly with you. Papa does not seem to disapprove." "No," said Ethel. "He will only laugh, and say it will spare him a great many of Mrs. Hoxton's nervous attacks. He thinks of it nearly as I do, at the bottom, but I cannot get him to stop it, nor even to say he does not wish Flora to sell."
His anger was all gone now, and he was excessively grieved at finding that the ringleaders, Samuel Axworthy and Edward Anderson, could, in Dr. Hoxton's opinion, receive no sentence but expulsion, which was to be pronounced on them on Monday.
We made an utter mistake about him; I don't know who is to blame for it." "Have you told Margaret about Norman's plan?" asked Ethel. "No; he desired me to say nothing. Indeed, I should not like Tom's leaving school to be talked of beforehand." "Norman said he did not want Flora to hear, because she is so much with the Hoxton's, and he said they would all watch him."
Hoxton's study, he did not believe that his intercession had produced the least effect, and there was a sense of vexation at the position which he had assumed. He went home, and said nothing on the subject; but when, on Monday, the school was assembled, and the judgment announced, it was Axworthy alone whose friends had been advised to remove him.
Hoxton's marquee, where she found Ethel packing up for Miss Hoxton's purchasers, and confiding to her that Mr. George Rivers was a horrid man, she ventured no more from her protection. She did, indeed, emerge, when told that papa was coming with Aubrey and Daisy and Miss Bracy, and she had the pleasure of selling to them some of her wares. Dr.
