Well, Loman did not do much execution that morning, and was thankful when presently Mr Jellicott said, "Time will be up in five minutes, boys." The announcement was anything but welcome to the other two competitors, both of whom were writing, hammer and tongs, as though their lives depended on it. Loman looked round at them and groaned as he looked.
These questions sorely exercised the school, and made them await eagerly the announcement of the result. The news came at last. "I have just received," said Mr Jellicott that morning, when the Fifth and Sixth were assembled together in the lecture-theatre "I have just received from the examiners the report on the Waterston examination.
"These you sent me," said Stephen, humbly handing in the paper. "Hum! some mistake; let's see, perhaps Jellicott ah!" and he put on his glasses and unfolded the paper. "Question 1. Grammar!" and then a cloud of amazement fell over the Doctor's face. He looked sharply out from under his spectacles at Stephen, who stood anxiously and nervously before him.
No! on the question of Greenfield senior, Guinea-pigs and Tadpoles had something to fight about from morning till night, and therefore they, at any rate, were happy! "Jellicott," said Dr Senior one day, as the masters met for five minutes' talk in the head master's study, "Greenfield in the Fifth is not well, I'm afraid. I never see him out in the playground." "Really?" said Mr Jellicott.
The result is as follows: First Greenfield, 108 marks; second Wraysford, 96 marks; third Loman, 20 marks." Here Mr Jellicott was interrupted by a laugh and a muttered "Bravo, Loman! very good!" in what sounded to the knowing something like Pembury's voice.
No one attempted any demonstration, but while Mr Jellicott was speaking many perplexed and troubled faces turned to where Oliver, by the side of his friend Wraysford, was sitting. Wraysford's face was beaming as he clapped his friend on the back. Oliver looked as unconcerned and indifferent as ever. The fellow was a puzzle, certainly.
Meanwhile I should like to see the editor of this paper to-morrow. Who is he, Jellicott?" "I believe it is Pembury." "Very well. Send him to me, will you, to-morrow at ten? Good-night. Thank you for your advice!" Next morning the Doctor talked to Pembury about the Dominican. He praised the paper generally, and congratulated him on the success of his efforts.
I don't know what crime he has committed, but the tribunal of his class have been very severe on him, I fancy." The Doctor laughed. "Boys will be boys! Well, it's a relief if that's the solution of the mystery, for I was afraid he was ill. We have no right to interfere with these boyish freaks, as long as they are not mischievous. But you might keep your eye on the little comedy, Jellicott.
Instead of practising with the fifteens at football, he went in for a regular course of practice in the gymnasium, and devoted himself with remarkable success to the horizontal bar and the high jump. Instead of casting in his lot in class with a jovial though somewhat distracting set, he now kept his mind free for his studies, and earned the frequent commendation of the Doctor and Mr Jellicott.
On the first morning after reassembling, Mr Jellicott, the master in charge of Saint Dominic's, summoned the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth to meet him in the lecture-theatre, and there announced to them the reason of the head master's absence.
