Maitland was beginning to read again, he was interrupted by a smart rap-tap at the front door; and immediately after, the servant announced Mr. and Mrs. Norton. 'Dear Laura, exclaimed Mrs. Maitland, kissing her young friend, I am very glad to see you again, though I did not expect you would be out so early this morning.
By the time that the two midshipmen finished policing their quarters no housekeeper in the land could have found the least sign of disorder. Rap-tap! sounded briskly at the door. "Come in," called Dave. The door opened, revealing Midshipman Hepson, of the first class. "Are you fellows to rights?" he called. "Come in, Hepson," urged Dave. "Yes; we're to rights as far as quarters go."
Rap-tap! at the door, and Furlong and Dunstan dropped in. "Want to tell you what I think about your pitching, old ramrod," announced Furlong. "It's rotten!" glowed Dunstan cheerfully "And your shortstop work, Holmesy " "What kindergarten nine did you play with last?" insisted Furlong. "I was just making up my mind not to pitch again this season," grinned Cadet Prescott. "Why not?"
"Of course I shall be thrashed," admitted Dick doggedly. "However, that probably won't do me any permanent harm. Besides, Greg, it's certain that I'll have to fight some yearling sooner or later, so I may as well take the dose now. Every plebe, I reckon, has to have one fight, anyway, with a yearling. It's a part of the system here, from all I can hear." Rap-tap sounded at the door.
That finished, and dropped in the mail-box, he went back to his room and began to study. Rap-tap! Farley slipped into the room. "Thought I'd better come right away, Darry," explained the caller. "The news won't keep. A class meeting is called for Friday night right after supper. You know what that means, don't you?" "Yes," Dave answered steadily.
"If you're in such a blue funk over the Navy's chances, you'd better keep off the line-up," muttered Midshipman Dalzell. "Oh, I'm in no funk," returned Darrin, smiling. "However, I'm not going to be betrayed into any bragging until we've wiped the field up with the Army if we can." Rap-tap! came on the door. "I'll wager that's Farley," whispered Darrin. "Come in," called Dave.
