On their arrival at the school some half-hour later, Parson, Telson, Bosher, King, and Lawkins were informed that, having been reported for being absent at call-over, the captain wished to see them in his study after breakfast the next morning. Later on that same evening another notice reached them that they were wanted in Mr Parrett's room at once. Mr Parrett was a popular master at Willoughby.
Take him away, M. de Bois." Maurice was so much alarmed at the sight of the blood that he could not, at first, listen to these expostulations; but Mrs. Lawkins continued to threaten him with such evil results if he did not obey, and to urge M. de Bois so strenuously to compel him, that Gaston succeeded in leading him away; Mrs. Lawkins bade Bertha follow them, and then locked the door.
You never sent back the silver milk-pitcher." "The milk-pitcher?" replied Mrs. Lawkins. "Bless my heart! You don't say so? It's not here! I hope it's not been stolen. It must have got mixed up with the hotel silver and gone downstairs." "You'll be sure to hunt it up, Mrs. Lawkins.
She did not waste a moment in pondering upon the manner in which the haughty countess might receive her, but ordered her carriage, and drove to the hotel, leaving Count Tristan under the charge of Ruth, and Mrs. Lawkins, the housekeeper. Arrived at her destination, Madeleine ordered her servant to inquire for the Viscount de Gramont. He was not at home. Was Mademoiselle de Merrivale at home?
"You're our captain; we'll obey you!" said Pringle, with a withering look at Riddell. "What's that you said just now?" demanded Bloomfield. "I only said, `Kick him out!" said Lawkins, somewhat doubtfully, as he noticed the black looks on the Parrett's captain's face. Bloomfield made a grab at the two luckless youths, and shook them very much as a big dog shakes her refractory puppies.
The countess was stupefied; she could not speak, or stoop, or stir. The alarmed house-keeper knelt beside him. Robert hastily set down the salver and lent his assistance. They lifted the count and laid him upon the sofa. The instant Mrs. Lawkins saw his face, and the foam issuing from his lips, she exclaimed, "It is another fit! It is his second stroke!
"The fellows won't take the trouble to abuse him much now he's gone." At this point two Parrett's juniors came past. They were Lawkins and Pringle, two of the noisiest and most impudent of their respectable fraternity.
We held up to them all down the Willow Reach, and were just collaring them for the finish up to Balsham Weir, when the beasts pulled in and funked it." "And then, of course, we couldn't get back in time," said Lawkins. "We were jolly fagged weren't we, you fellows? and it was all a plant of those schoolhouse cads." "Fight you!" said Telson, menacingly. "Oh, beg pardon, old man, didn't mean.
Poor Lawkins retired, and the assembly, being warned by his awful example, heard the doctor out without further interruption. "Mr Cheeseman writes as follows: "`Dear Dr Patrick, I hope I need no apology for writing to you on a matter affecting the boys under your charge.
Lawkins approached, he playfully reminded her that they had agreed upon a division of labor, and Madame de Gramont was her patient; when Ruth and Bertha tried to press upon him their services, he had always some plea to peremptorily dismiss them both. Mrs. Walton was the only one in whose favor he relented a little. He allowed her to sit beside his charge for a couple of hours every day.
