As we rode on into the gloom, in the still, flat, misty land, which gleamed out at whiles with water dykes, he cross-examined me in detail, in several different ways, just as a magistrate would have done it. I was soon letter-perfect about my mother. I knew Mr. Blick's past history as well as I knew my own. "Martin," said Mr. Jermyn suddenly. "Do you hear anything?" "Yes, sir," I answered.
Thus it came about that, unknown to Sid, two small figures rehearsed for a good hour, such intricacies as "Two fingers against the glove means a swift one," "when I pound like this, it means an 'out," and "this means an 'in'" until Francis became letter-perfect in them. That Friday afternoon, the "Tigers" gathered for the final practice before the first and most important game of the season.
"But no one can overhear us," was the somewhat surprised comment. "How true!" said Furneaux. "Pardon me, Miss Martin. Tell the story in your own way." Doris had a good memory. She was invariably letter-perfect in a play after a couple of rehearsals, and could prompt others if they faltered. The detective listened in silence while she repeated the conversation between Siddle and herself.
It was easier for them than for him to be letter-perfect in the test, as he had to guard against the exhilaration of having an enemy's ship instead of a cloth target under his eye. Super-drilled he was to that eventuality; super- drilled all the others through the years, till each one knew his part as well as one knows how to turn the key of a drawer in his desk.
At the end of the course the weeding process has reduced the once numerous tribe of academic candidates to a cosey little family. By all these tokens I should have had serious business on my hands as a pupil in the Latin School, but I did not find it hard. To make myself letter-perfect in my lessons required long hours of study, but that was my delight.
There was yet another pupil who puzzled her, and, for that matter, puzzled the other pupils. She was an old-fashioned little girl, who was letter-perfect in all her studies, but never brilliant, more quiet than any other girl at Glenmore, and so silent that one marveled that a little girl could be so still.
I do not remember that Wellington or Napoleon ever examined Shakespeare's battles and sieges and strategies, and then decided and established for good and all that they were militarily flawless; I do not remember that any Nelson, or Drake, or Cook ever examined his seamanship and said it showed profound and accurate familiarity with that art; I don't remember that any king or prince or duke has ever testified that Shakespeare was letter-perfect in his handling of royal court-manners and the talk and manners of aristocracies; I don't remember that any illustrious Latinist or Grecian or Frenchman or Spaniard or Italian has proclaimed him a past-master in those languages; I don't remember well, I don't remember that there is TESTIMONY great testimony imposing testimony unanswerable and unattackable testimony as to any of Shakespeare's hundred specialties, except one the law.
The messages were letter-perfect; in each instance, the message for signature bore the name of one upon whom the member who would receive it leaned in his destinies of politics. No two were worded alike, albeit each commanded and demanded the Speakership for Mr. Frost.
"Why do you assume that he's a bounder?" he demanded almost resentfully. "He may be all she thinks." Warriors of ferocity we had; young gentlemen who played the game to the lasting glory of John Harvard; but this letter-perfect type of chivalry, valor and gentleness well, I'm afraid he failed to make the team." You remember the story of Bruce and the spider?
She drilled me in the duties of my position until I believed that I was letter-perfect, and then she said that she supposed I would commit some terrible blunder that would ruin everything. I thought that this was very likely, too, but I would not admit it. The dress came home at nine o'clock, and operated a happy diversion from my imaginable shortcomings; for it appeared from Mrs.
