Di Firenze in prima si divisono intra loro i nobili, dipoi i nobili e il popolo, e in ultimo il popolo e la plebe; e molte volte occorse che una di queste parti rimasa superiore, si divise in due.
You haven't any right to do it! This must stop!" "Here, Bart," said Merriwell to Hodge, speaking quietly and firmly, "turn this boy over to Mulloy, and tell him to keep Davis from making any fuss." "But you must listen to me!" cried the little plebe, on the verge of tears. "People sometimes get killed in fights. If you are badly hurt, I'll never forgive myself. Can't I do something to stop it?
"What's that?" "He's been sentenced to death. He is to be used as a target for the plebe squads in target practice." "That isn't a sentence of death; it's a guarantee of safety." This last sally turned the laugh on the entire plebe class. Dick flushed worse than ever when he saw many of his classmates begin to squirm.
"This isn't a sprint," sneered Spurlock, as he followed nimble Plebe Prescott around, Dick doing some saving dodging, ducking and sidestepping. Nearly a dozen of Spurlock's blows Prescott succeeded in escaping, though the plebe was kept so busily on the defensive that he could not get back with anything to count. "Stand up, you jumping-jack!" hissed Spurlock.
Dick and Greg half wheeled to meet another comer. Little Briggs, a trifle less plump and correspondingly longer, stood before them, grinning almost sheepishly. "Hullo, Briggsy!" cried Prescott, extending his hand, which the third classman took with unusual warmth. "Being no longer a plebe, I enjoy the great pleasure able to address an upper classman before I'm addressed," went on Briggs.
A year had passed since Frank entered Fardale Military Academy a year crowded with events and adventures such as made its memory both pleasant and painful. The time of the June encampment had again arrived. Frank was no longer a plebe, and the glistening chevrons on his sleeves told that the first year in the academy had not been wasted. He was now Cadet Corporal Merriwell.
"Dodge has been excelling in daily recitations, yet can't do as well at general review!" flashed hotly through Prescott's mind. "And Dodge, the high-souled one who loathes cribs! If that writing on his cuff isn't a crib of today's math., then I'm a plebe!" The thought would not down, even for a moment. Dick became wilder in his thoughts the more he thought about it. "The cribber!
In the fight that followed Dodge received a fearful walloping from Mr. Poultney. The laws of courtesy are enforced by these fights. A new man, entering the United States Military Academy, often has a most exaggerated idea of his own importance and merits. In some instances the new cadet is likely to disregard the rights of upper class men. A fight puts the offending plebe where he belongs.
"Greg," rejoined Dick, laying an affectionate hand on his roommate's shoulder, "as long as I'm a new plebe I don't intend to try to dig out of any fight that an upper class man demands from me. Perhaps I could get the scrap committee to turn down Mr. Spurlock's desire but I don't mean to do anything of the sort. I did all that I felt I could do consistently to stop the fight.
Neither of the visitors being a cadet officer, Dick and Greg were not obliged to stand at attention. However, neither new plebe was foolish enough to argue the matter. Dick and Greg took the pose ordered and at once. "Mister," demanded Pratt, turning upon Dick, "what is this cit. "Mr. Dodge is a candidate, sir, quartered in this building, and he took it into his head to visit us."
