I hope he gives Noaks a jolly good 'impot. That chap is a cad," continued the speaker, as they hurried back towards The Birches: "when he can't do anything else, he chucks stones like he did to-night. The wonder is he hasn't killed some one before now. I don't see how it's possible for the Philistines to show up well when they've got a chap like him bossing the show."
They could scarcely wait till the doctor had departed before they vehemently denounced the idea. "Well," said Merrison, "if that's not what you call adding insult to injury, I don't know what you do! I know I mean to write every letter of my impot if it was a thousand lines instead of a hundred!" "So shall I; and I'll not stir out of doors all Wednesday afternoon either," said another.
The peasants complained, in the bitterest terms, of the taxes and contributions of the French, stating that the public burdens had been more than quadrupled since they were separated from the Austrian Government, of which they still spoke in terms of affection and regret. The impot fonciere, or land-tax, under the French, amounted to one-fifth of the rent, or 20 per cent.
The football captain was as good as his word: he got the Triple Alliance excused the "impot" which would otherwise have been awarded them for arriving at the school half an hour late, and the only misfortune which resulted from their eventful excursion was that Jack Vance had to expend a further portion of his postal order in paying Jobling for repairing the broken chain.
'Pater, like some other people, is patient and long-suffering, but he has his limits. The Head is oppressing him damnably, too. As I pointed out, the boy has practically been in the First Fifteen since term began. 'But, my dear fellow, I've known you give a boy an impot and refuse him leave off games, again and again.
The phrase acted like a spur. He obeyed a foolish impulse. "If you like " he said. "What?" "He needn't do this. The Impot., I mean. I'll let him off." "Really?" "I can." "It's awfully kind of you." "I don't mind," he said. "It's nothing much. If you really think ..." He was full of self-applause for this scandalous sacrifice of justice. "It's awfully kind of you," she said.
But we'll astonish the fellows soon, I fancy. Do you know I've a good mind to break bounds or have a fight with some one just to make you give me an impot!" "As long as you don't do anything which calls for personal chastisement," said the captain, laughing, "I'll promise to oblige you."
"When you've finished," protested Jackson, mopping himself with a handkerchief that had seen better days. "Sorry. But look at these. What did you say your impot was? Oh, I remember. Here you are. Two pages of 'Quatre-Vingt Treize. I don't know which two pages, but I suppose any will do." Jackson was amazed. "Great Scott! what a wad of stuff! When did you do it all?" "Oh, at odd times.
Jenkins was equally a bosom friend, and in the matter of wisdom in no way inferior to Peterson. 'What would happen, do you think? asked Babington. 'Sack, said one authority. 'Jaw, and double impot, said another. 'The Daily Telegraph, muttered the tempter in a stage aside, 'calls it the best comedy since Sheridan. 'So it does, thought Babington. 'I'll risk it.
"Sir, I do prefer an unfairly long imposition to an attack of pneumonia," and with that he sailed out of the room; the "impot" was, of course, never done. Only Benson did things for Trundle. From this day on to discover a new kind of dress was the aim of Archie's life. What he advised the form always copied.
