"I don't know," said Morgan; "Paddy said something about it being a good thing for us to get the captain of the school as head of our house." "Oh, ah a jolly good thing," said Pilbury; "jolly lookout for us if he's stuck here to pull us up whenever we have a lark." "Bless you, he can't pull a fellow up!" said somebody. "They said he used to now and then in the schoolhouse." "Not he.
Then, with a simultaneous war- whoop, they half-opened the door, and, without entering themselves, projected into the centre of the room a bottle! Pilbury and Cusack had not studied natural science for nothing! The strange projectile smashed to atoms as it fell, and at the same instant there arose a stench the like of which the nose of Willoughby had never known before.
Through the rest of that term he worked as well as he could; but Edie noticed every morning that the cough was getting worse and worse; and long before the time came for them to leave Pilbury he had begun to look distinctly delicate.
Greatrex, said Edie innocently, stepping up to him in her bright elastic fashion, 'let me introduce you to our friend Herr Schurz, whose name I dare say you know the German political economist. He's come down to Pilbury to deliver a lecture here, and we've been fortunate enough to put him up at our little lodging. The doctor bowed very stiffly.
The House instantly divided, and before either Pilbury or Philpot could make up their minds about proceeding, the motion had been declared lost by a majority of three hundred odd to one. In a great state of wrath the injured Welchers left the hall, making as much noise as they possibly could in doing so.
If you were secretary, and Pilbury or Philpot treasurer, I'd be president, or something of that sort, if you like." The idea of the new club took like wildfire, and an enthusiastic consultation followed. It was resolved to summon a meeting next day of all who took an interest in the sport, and to arrange for a trial match at once.
'No doubt, Ernest answered evasively, 'you'll soon manage to raise the money in such a place as Pilbury. 'No doubt, the doctor replied, looking at him with a searching glance, and evidently harbouring an uncomfortable suspicion, already, that this young man had not got the moral and religious welfare of the boys quite so deeply at heart as was desirable in a model junior assistant master.
"Why shouldn't old Mr Cusack go it and let out that is all right, Philpot, you pig, I'll pay you out, see if I don't. Why shouldn't old Mr Cusack, gentlemen er " "Do," suggested Cusack himself. "Do," shouted Pilbury, "do, gentlemen do? "Does any gentleman second the amendment?" asked Mr Isaacs, evidently getting hungry and anxious to be released from his post.
"That Mr Bloomfield be elected Speaker of this House." Proposed by G. Game; seconded by R. Ashley. "That Francis Cusack, Esquire, member for the Isle of Wight, be elected Speaker of this House." Proposed, A. Pilbury, Esquire; seconded, L. Philpot, Esq. The humour of the last notice was eclipsed by the seriousness of the other two.
He's stopped their river-play, and they won't be able to show up at the regatta." "I'm jolly glad!" said Cusack; "chaps like them deserve to catch it, don't they, Pil?" "Rather!" replied Pilbury. A silence ensued, during which both heroes were doubtless meditating upon the unexampled iniquities of the Parrett juniors.
