I am perfectly capable of making a flight ten times that long, and as you know I am a licensed pilot. Unless a new storm comes up, the air is perfect for flying, and we can start at daybreak. What do you say?" "Do you mean to tell me old Prexy will let us go?" demanded Bill. "Surely! He is a good old chappie when he has to rise to an occasion and I should say this was one.
I only know her by sight so I can't judge of her character, but I heard that Miss Walker had her on the grill several times last winter." "What does she look like?" some one asked. "Why, she's as demure as anything; a petite, brown-haired, inconspicuous little person. You'd never suspect her of being so daring, but I happen to know of one reckless performance of hers that Prexy hasn't heard of."
"Oh, it's Prexy and Miss Ferris and Dr. Hinsdale, all in a bunch," she said at last. "How inconsiderate of them not to scatter the fireworks!" She turned back to Jean. "As I was saying, if you knew all about that wonderful story "
Prexy had always been considered some personage by the outside world, but he was only a bump in the background when Ole was around. Of course we all loved Ole madly, but for all that he didn't make a frat. He didn't, for the same reason that a rhinoceros doesn't get invited to garden parties. He didn't seem to fit the part. Not only his clothes, but also his haircuts were hand-me-down.
I could easily have escaped when he ordered me to 'come along, girl, but I knew to resist arrest might bring real trouble upon us, whereas now the whole thing is a farce, and whisper!" News from the village rarely gets in here unless we bring it, and it would be a shame to worry prexy with that sort of thing. She would never understand it." Applause, silent but visible, followed this.
"But all Prexy did was to look at me in that calm, withering, pitying way he has, and then say in that solemn voice of his: 'Ah, Hatfield, I presume you are going in for vivisection? Say, you could have floored me with a feather. That's the kind of a man Dr. Morrison is." "Nobody else like him," commented Andy, with a sigh.
Now then! He graduated from college at the age of twenty-two did he not?" "He didn't graduate, Alden. He was requested to leave." "Hum-m-m! I didn't know that. What for?" "General uselessness and animal spirits, I suppose. It wasn't anything dishonorable. The main contributory cause was an alleged poem lampooning some individual they called Prexy." "Hum-m-m!
"Professor Willis told me, this afternoon," Lydia went on, "and I laughed at him at first. I thought he was teasing me. Why only high-brows belong to the Scholars' Club! Prexy belongs and the best of the professors and only a few of the post-graduate pupils. But he says I was elected. I told him lots of students had higher standings than I, and he only laughed and said he knew it.
"In which case," said Priscilla, "I suppose you would get out of calling on Mrs. Millard altogether." "Exactly," said Patty. Mrs. Millard more familiarly referred to as Mrs. Prexy annually invited the seniors to dinner in parties of ten.
