"If Bob Hopley knows, he'll lick old Magglin with a ramrod. There, come on." We reached the school in good time, only two or three of the boys being about, and spent the next half-hour turning over Mercer's melancholy-looking specimens of the taxidermist's art, one of the most wretched being a half finished rabbit, all skin and tow. "Well, I would burn that," I said. "It does look a brute."
That's Magglin didn't know he was here to-day." He pointed out a rough, shambling-looking young man down the great kitchen garden into which he had led me. This gentleman was in his coat, and he was apparently busy doing nothing with a hoe, upon which he rested himself, and took off a very ragged fur cap to wipe his brow as we came up, saluting us with a broad grin. "Hallo, Magg! you here?
"Well," I said, as we stared at him, and he stared back at us, "aren't you going to begin?" "No," he said coolly. "Then what's the good of our coming?" "Oh, do begin, Magg! We shall soon have to run back. Where's old longbody?" "Yonder," said Magglin coolly, nodding his head at the slope just above us. "Not loose?" "Yes, he's loose." "But "
This way." He led me out into the big playground, and turned. "Ain't a bad house, is it? Some big lord used to live here, and Magglin says his father says it was empty for years, and it was sold cheap at last to the Doctor, who only used to have four boys at first." "Who's Magglin?"
"Got you this time then," he said gruffly. "There, what did I say?" cried Magglin, in a sharp, acid voice that sounded almost like a woman's. "I told you that you oughtn't to be catching them rabbids, and now you see what trouble you're in." "Oh, you told 'em so, did you, my lad?" said the keeper in a deep, angry voice, and he seemed like a great mastiff growling at a common-looking cur.
