"He's getting on that way already, I fancy," said Pembury. "I was saying I'd think nothing at all about it if what he says was the only thing to go by, but well, you saw what a state Greenfield got into about it?" "Maybe he was just in a sudden rage with the fellow for thinking of such a thing," said Wraysford.

He was hobbling down the passage one morning when he suddenly encountered Oliver and Wraysford, arm-in-arm, approaching him. If at any time in his life Pembury did feel uncomfortable and awkward he felt it now.

"Well, I only wanted a little; and this " "Silence! how much ink did you want?" "Only half a potful." "You shall have half a potful!" said Pembury. "Come here." The Tadpole obeyed, and glared triumphantly at Stephen. "Now, Master Greenfield," said Pembury, addressing Stephen; "have the kindness to hand me the ink."

They found Pembury busy over a huge sheet of paper, the size of his table. "What on earth have you got there?" cried Wraysford. "The Dominican, to be sure," said Anthony, gravely. "Nonsense! you are not going to get it out in that shape?" "I am, though. Look here, you fellows," said Anthony, "I'll show you the dodge of the thing.

Broken twigs, whirling down the wind, smote me in the dark, fallen branches reached out arms that grappled me unseen, but I held on steadfastly, since every stride carried me nearer to vengeance, that vengeance for the which I prayed and lived. So with bared head lifted exulting to the tempest and grasping the stout hedge-stake that served me for staff, I climbed the long ascent of Pembury Hill.

If he had not been told, he could not have believed his brother was anything but perfection. "I'm lame, you see," said Pembury, presently. "You are quite sure you see? Look at my left leg." "I see," said Stephen, blushing; "I I hope it doesn't hurt." "Only when I wash my face. But never mind that Vulcan was lame too, but then he never washed. You know who Vulcan was, of course?"

Meanwhile I should like to see the editor of this paper to-morrow. Who is he, Jellicott?" "I believe it is Pembury." "Very well. Send him to me, will you, to-morrow at ten? Good-night. Thank you for your advice!" Next morning the Doctor talked to Pembury about the Dominican. He praised the paper generally, and congratulated him on the success of his efforts.

"Oh, all right, if it's wrong," snarled Pembury. "I tell you there's no fight; you can believe it or not as you like," and off he hobbled, in unusual ill-humour. This was a sad blow to the Fifth. They saw no comfort anywhere. They flocked to Oliver's study, but he was not there, and Wraysford's door was locked.

You may think it all very funny, but I'll report it to the Doctor, and then you'll look foolish." "How nice! So pleasant it will be to look for once like what you look always," observed Pembury, gnawing the top of his crutch. At that moment there was a loud shout of laughter in the passage outside, confirming the monitor's complaint. Wraysford walked hastily to the door.

So saying, with a gentle cuff he handed the ill-starred Master Bramble out again to his fellows, and from that time there was scarcely a sound audible from the passage. "Good-bye," said Pembury, kissing his hand to Loman, who all this time had been standing in the middle of the room, in a white heat, and perplexed what to do or say next. "You aren't going to live here, are you?" asked Bullinger.
