And of course it was hardly to be expected they would confine their conversation altogether to a review of their misdeeds. The talk gradually became general, and occasionally even animated. "Guess Pil and I will have to shut up chemistry after this," said Cusack. Pilbury smiled grimly. "What do you call the beastly stuff?" asked Telson. "Sulphuretted hydrogen," said Cusack, briskly.
He's going to be tried soon for a seditious libel it seems, and he'll be sent to prison, naturally. Now, does your friend know anything at all of this fellow? 'He knows him personally and intimately, Berkeley replied, delighted to find that the card which had proved so bad a one at Pilbury Regis was turning up trumps in the more Bohemian neighbourhood of the Temple and Fleet Street.
"Let's begin without him," said Pilbury. "So we would if we had anything to do them on." "I'll go and see if I can get a fork or two," said Morrison. "Thanks, and wake up Philpot while you're out." Morrison went, and the others kicked their heels impatiently and eyed the good things hungrily as they waited.
But in the management of a school, my dear boy, as you yourself must be aware, a head master isn't the sole and only authority; there are the governors, for example, Le Breton, and and and, ur, there's Mrs. Greatrex. Now, in all matters of social discipline and attitude, Mrs. Greatrex is justly of equal authority with me; and Mrs. Greatrex thinks it would never do to keep you at Pilbury.
"Wire in, old man," said Pilbury, encouragingly; "cut all the jaw, you know, and start with the experiments. Can't you give us a jolly flare- up to begin with?" "All serene," said Philpot, who had now quite recovered his humour, and was pleased to find himself in the position of an instructor of youth, "wait a bit, then."
"Oh, don't be riled," said Cusack; "the fact is, Pil and I came to see if you'd put us up to a thing or two in this sort of business." "We've gone on the steady, Phil, you know," explained Pilbury, in conciliatory tones, "and thought it would be rather jolly if we three worked up a little chemistry together."
"It's not you two, then?" whispered Telson across the bench to where Cusack and Pilbury sat in mutual perplexity. "Two things at least are comforting in what has passed," continued the doctor.
"Order, order," cried Isaacs. "Order yourself," retorted Philpot, "I've got a right to speak." "So have I," said Pilbury, "and I was up first." "Forge away," said Philpot, "you'll be all right." "Nothing to do with you if I am all right," snarled Pilbury. "You seem to think you're the only fellow can talk." "Ays to the right, noes to the left," said Isaacs, in a loud voice.
You're doing more good by just unobtrusively holding your own opinions here at Pilbury, and getting in the thin end of the wedge by slowly influencing the minds of a few middle-class boys in your form, than you could possibly be doing by making shoes or weaving clothes for the fractional benefit of general humanity.
However, before any of them could make up his mind to reply, a shrill voice was heard from the other end of the hall, "Sir! It is time the Welchers had a word!" This innocent announcement caused a loud burst of laughter, in which every one joined, especially when it was discovered that the orator was none other than the youthful Mr Pilbury himself!
