"Poor chap," muttered Dan. "I reckon he has need enough of something to stop that restless feeling. The class meets to-night!" Jetson, after some fifteen minutes of aimless wandering, felt himself attracted to the gymnasium. Going inside, he went to his locker, where, with feverish energy, he changed to gym costume. For a few minutes the sulky one performed on the flying rings.
"Well, sir," responded Bob, "he stopped you partly with his head, and it would have been broken, only he had his hands out and gripped you at the shoulders or trunk. It may be that his head was split as it was, but I hardly think so." Two more liberal douses of water, and Dave, too, opened his eyes. "Is Jetson all right?" was Darrin's first question.
Jetson hasn't been guilty of anything worse than a mean, quick temper and a fit of sulks afterwards. That's why, with my experience here at Annapolis, if Jetson is to be sent to Coventry, I decline to be bound by the class action." "But you can't refuse to be bound by class action," retorted Farley aghast. "Try me and see," smiled Dave stubbornly. "Don't be an idiot, Darry!"
Evidently it was the street for which he was looking. Jetson, somewhat curious, the Hepworths' house being still the only one occupied, paused at the corner, and watched. The Hepworths' house was, of course, the only one in the road that showed any light. The man, when he came to the gate, struck a match for the purpose of reading the number.
"I wonder what sort of crazy or calculating grandstand play Darrin is trying to make just now?" pondered Midshipman Jetson, when informed of Dave's action at the meeting. A week went by without another class meeting. For that reason Midshipman Jetson was still nominally in good fellowship. The delay in action was by no means due to lack of class interest.
Hepworth herself opened the door to him. In his evidence at the trial, Jetson admitted that her appearance had startled him. She seems to have anticipated his questions by at once explaining that she had had news of an unpleasant nature, and had been worrying over it all night.
"Nothing, sir, unless the sole of one of my shoes was responsible," returned Jetson, barely concealing his anger under a mask of respect to an officer of the Navy. "Let me see your shoes; sit down on the ground first, Mr. Jetson." The midshipman obeyed, though with no very good grace, and held up his right shoe for the inspection of the head coach. "Now the other shoe, Mr. Jetson. Hm!
Dave, however, went about his work all but unconsciously. Never much of an egotist, he declined to believe himself the star man of the Navy eleven. When Coach Havens called off the two teams that were to play that day, Jetson observed that he was not called for either. "It looks as though Darrin has queered me," muttered that midshipman gloomily to himself.
The company's solicitor, with Hepworth's consent, acted for both parties. It was early in June when the Hepworths moved in. They furnished only one bedroom; and kept no servant, a charwoman coming in every morning and going away about six in the evening. Jetson was their nearest neighbour. His wife and daughters called on them, and confess to have taken a liking to them both.
"I don't need a seat," laughed Dave easily, "for I've heard that the best Americans transact their business on their feet. Mr. Jetson, I've come on a somewhat embarrassing mission." "Yes?" sneeringly. "You know quite well the snarl that is to be untied before the class meeting Friday evening." "Quite well," replied Jetson sulkily.
