Stafford and Felgate heard it, and shrugged their shoulders and wondered when the other prefects would be back. "There's nobody about. Come on. We can kick up as much row as we like!" shouted the high-principled Arthur. "Who cares for my spooney old brother-in-law, Marky?"
"I suppose you've heard. Keep it quiet, I say." "What is it? Keep what quiet?" "Why, about her, you know. I say, Marky I mean Mr Railsford could you ever give me a leg-up with her? If you asked her to your room one day, you know I could come too, and do my work." Railsford laughed. "I thought you could do your work better here; besides, you and Oakshott use the same books." "Oakshott be hanged!
"`Bravo, Barnworth, yells Violet. `Go it, old kangaroo, howls Dig. `Take your time and tuck in that shoe-lace, says Marky. `A million to one on our man, says I; and then up goes the bar to 5 foot 5; and then you could have heard a caterpillar wink. Old Barnworth looked a little green himself this time; and didn't seem in a hurry to begin.
The marky and Bloundell looks and smiles at each other at this; and Bloundell says, 'Colonel, you are a queer feller. No man could have supposed, from your manners, that you had tasted any thing stronger than tea all night, and yet you forget things in the morning.
These gentlemen offered repeatedly to stop. It was you that insisted on the large stakes, not they. In fact he charged dead against me: and when the two others went away, he told me how the marky would shoot me as sure as my name was was what it is. 'I left the countess crying, too, said he. It's my belief, says my friend, 'that that woman is distractedly in love with you.
Yes, he'd got his sack ready, and had jammed the door open with this paper, and got his matches handy. Bickers would never see him till he came close up, and then Marky would have the sack on in two twos before he could halloa. My eye! I would never have believed it of Marky. Served Bickers right, of course, and it'll be a lesson to him; but it'll be hot for Marky if he's found out.

Come, come, tell that to the marines, my friend, we won't have it at any price.
The boys voted her a brick; and Arthur went so far as to say he hoped she and Marky would fix it up in time for her to come and be dame of the house before he left. All this time would you believe it? the poor Master of the Shell was sitting in his study, very bashful, and wondering whether he would get a chance of speaking to Daisy during the day at all.
If there was one kind of spree he liked it was a picnic at an abbey; and if there was one sort of conveyance he doated on it was a tricycle. He wiped off every score on his mental slate against Marky, and voted him the greatest brick going, and worthy to be backed up to the very end especially if they had oysters at the picnic!
No, be hanged to it, it was swept off in another way. One night, at the Countess's, there was several of us at supper Mr. Bloundell-Bloundell, the Honourable Deuceace, the Marky de la Tour de Force all tip-top nobs, sir, and the height of fashion, when we had supper, and champagne you may be sure in plenty, and then some of that confounded brandy.
