'We shall be off in a minute, dear, whispered Dick softly in her ear, 'and then 'Whose carriage are you going in, Dick? said a little stout man who walked with a strut and wore a hat like a bishop's. 'I really don't know; I don't mind; anywhere except with the pipe-smokers. I can't stand that lot.
They are not so much pipe-smokers as pipe-keepers; and to have spoken as I did just now of their owning pipes was wrong, for it is they who are in bondage to the white spot. This school is founded firmly on four years of war. When at the age of eighteen you are suddenly given a cheque-book and called "Sir," you must do something by way of acknowledgment.

Mortimer shouted to Hayes, who always went with the pipe-smokers, and Dick spoke about the possibility of producing some new piece at Liverpool.
The novelty had much to do with our enjoyment of it, and also the fine appetites which we had acquired since our luncheon at noon halt. When supper was over, smoking followed, for there was not one of the party who was not an inveterate burner of the "noxious weed." Some chose cigars, of which we had brought a good stock, but several were pipe-smokers.
