I left the other boys and lay down upon the grass a little behind Radley's chair.
His friend sat patiently enough for some little time, fully expecting Mr. Radley's return, but, while waiting, fell asleep. When he awoke he found himself in darkness, wondering where he could possibly be. After groping about some time, he discovered that the door was locked. The trick Hammond had played him then flashed across his mind.
This was one of Radley's surprises, and he followed it with one of his brutal remarks: "Put that right hand down. You'll need it to be in good condition for writing your lines. Put up your left." I held out my left hand. The cane sang in the air and whistled on to my open palm.
Penny took the small boy's head and banged it three times on a desk. In Radley's familiar room we found Salome, who no sooner saw me than he cried: "Ee, bless me, my man. Will you take your hand out of your pocket?" This was such a surprise that I blushed and oh, accursed nervousness! began to giggle. My terror at giggling in the Presence was so real that I compressed my lips to secure control.
"Well, I like that," replied I, with an empty laugh. "You drop me, sulk like a pig, and then say it's the other way round " "Rot!" he interrupted. "Didn't you deliberately cut me out with Radley?" "I don't know what you mean," I said, although the hint that I was Radley's favourite always gave me a flush of pleasure. "And haven't you been hanging on to Penny, just to make me jealous?"
In the long corridor, on to which Radley's class-room opened, gathered our elated form, awaiting the arrival of Herr Reinhardt. He was late. He always was: and it was a mistake to be so, for it gave us the opportunity, when he drew near, of asking one another the time in French: "Kell er eight eel? Onze er ay dammy. Wee, wee."
Now, though you may think this a very uninteresting chapter a mere dialogue over the tea-cups, I take leave to present it to you as quite the most dramatic and most central of our humble tale. The events that lend it this distinguished character were happening hundreds of miles from Radley's room, in places where more powerful people than Penny or Doe or I were building Castles in the Air.
"What devilish fine fellows we are, eh what?" cried our admirers, and we blushed and said "Oh, shut up." We met old Dr. Chappy, who looked us up and down, roared with laughter, and said "Well, I'll be damned!" We were welcomed into Radley's room, and were boys enough to address him as "sir" as though we were still his pupils.
Also Plymouth Rock Hens & Road Commissioner Agent for Radley's Lives of the Saints Insurance and Watermelons My Specialty Millville, Mount County, N.Y. The Major shook his head doubtfully as he read the above announcement; but Mr. McNutt was the only known person to whom he could appeal to carry out John Merrick's orders. So he dictated the following letter: Dear Sir: Mr.
His name stood high in the list of successful candidates at the last Indian Civil Service examination. Now he reaped the reward of past endeavour. For with that deposition of heavy baggage at Radley's the last farewell to years of tutelage seemed to him to be spoken.
