These, with the beautiful brown tabby, Crystal, owned by Mr. Jones, have all been prize winners. Lucy Claire is a recent importation, who won second and third prizes in England under the name of Baby Flossie. She is the daughter of Duke of Kent and Topso, of Merevale. Her paternal grandparents are Mrs. Herring's well-known champion, Blue Jack, and Marney.
Jim had naturally been first flippant, and then rude, and relations had been strained ever since. 'It must have been a professional, alleged Perkins, the master of the Upper Fourth. 'If it hadn't been for the fact of the money having been stolen as well as the cups, I should have put it down to one of our fellows. 'My dear Perkins, expostulated Merevale.
The phantom of a half-smoked cigar floated reproachfully before his eyes. He had lit it a quarter of an hour ago in fond anticipation of a quiet evening. Unless a miracle had occurred, it must be out by this time. And he knew as well as anybody else that a relighted cigar is never at its best. But he went, and in a few minutes Mr Merevale entered the room. 'Sit down, Mr Merevale, said the Head.
There are two ways of translating Virgil, the conscientious and the other. He prefers the other. On this particular night, therefore, work was 'off'. Merevale was over at the Great Hall, taking preparation, and the Sixth-Form Merevalians had assembled in Charteris's study to talk about things in general.
The butler bowed his head gently, but with more than a touch of pained astonishment. He thought the Headmaster might show more respect for persons. A butler is not an errand-boy. 'Sir? he said, giving the Head a last chance, as it were, of realizing the situation. 'Ask Mr Merevale to step over here for a moment. The poor man bowed once more.
Why should he? Well? 'If he knows anything of the rules, he'll know that Stapleton's out of bounds, and he may book you there and run you in to Merevale. 'Yes, said MacArthur. 'I tell you what, you'd do well to knock off a few of your expeditions to Stapleton. You know you wouldn't go there once a month if it wasn't out of bounds. You'll be a prefect next term.
I wish I could shunt into some other House. Between Ward and the Mutual life here isn't worth living. 'There's Merevale's, now, said Vaughan. 'I wish I was in there. In the first place you've got Merevale. He gets as near perfection as a beak ever does. Coaches the House footer and cricket, and takes an intelligent interest in things generally. Then there are some decent fellows in Merevale's.
'I always said that the Pavilion was a very unsafe place in which to keep anything of value, said Mr Thompson. 'You were profoundly right, Thompson, replied Perkins. 'You deserve a diploma. 'This business is rather in your line, Thompson, said Merevale. 'You must bring your powers to bear on the subject, and scent out the criminal. Mr Thompson took a keen pride in his powers of observation.
'It will be a difficult business, said Merevale, refraining to his credit be it said from a mention of needles and haystacks. 'We have nothing to go upon. He may be anywhere for all we know. I suppose it is hardly likely that he is still where Welch left him? The Head seemed to think this improbable. 'That would scarcely be the case unless he were very much exhausted.
Perhaps he had gone to bed without leave, and was being routed out to read at prayers or do some work? No, he remembered distinctly getting permission to turn in. What then could be the matter? At this point he recognized the Headmaster, and the last mists of sleep left him. 'Yes, sir? he said, wide-awake now. Merevale put the case briefly and clearly to him. 'Sorry to disturb you, Welch.
