Had some fights too, when I was your age. Now then, speak up like a man." The door was thrown open, and we had to walk in, the two ushers standing on either side of the door, like policemen dealing with culprits, and then ranging us before the Doctor's table, behind which he sat, leaning back in his great leather-covered chair. "Er rum!" he coughed. "Sit down, Mr Rebble take a chair, Mr Hasnip.
Here, somebody, I want my clothes." "No occasion to have fetched me," said the surgeon, smiling. "You've brought him round, I see. They're often like this when they've been nearly drowned. Come, squire, can you dress yourself?" "Yes, if you'll all go away," cried Dicksee in a snarling tone. "Who's a-going to dress with you all a-staring like that?" "Go into the shed, Dicksee," said Mr Rebble.
"Well er er yes I like that. Mercer, you are excused too. That will do." "Thank you, sir; thank you, sir," cried Mercer joyfully; and we both bowed and hurried away to the loft, Mr Rebble shaking his head at us as we passed his desk, and Mr Hasnip, as I thought, looking sadly disappointed as far as I could judge, though I could not see his eyes.
Dinner-time at last the bell ringing, and the shouts and cries of the boys, "All in! all in!" though we used to want very little calling for meals. After a time, my dinner was brought up, as my breakfast had been, in silence, and I felt then that I should have liked Mr Rebble to speak, if it had only been to bully. But he did not so much as look at me, only stalked into the room and out again.
Every minute out of school hours was devoted to the search for Burr major's watch, but there was no result; and when Mr Hasnip returned, soon after the boys had again given up the hunt, and told the Doctor what he had done, he came away, and saw Mr Rebble, who told Burr major, and Burr major told Hodson who was the medium that conveyed to the boys generally the fact that the Doctor had shaken his head.
A great patch came out, and Mr Rebble pressed it together and then opened it out, and I fancied I heard the Doctor sigh with satisfaction at nothing being found. "It's further in, sir," cried Dicksee eagerly. "Ah! you seem to know a great deal about it, Dicksee," said the Doctor. "Yes, sir; I saw him put it in."
Mr Rebble looked at me attentively for a few moments, and then said quietly, "No; only a bilious headache, I should say. Go and lie down for an hour or two, my lad, and perhaps it will pass off."
"Subtending the right angle, sir," said Mercer promptly. "And you, sir?" continued Mr Rebble, turning to me. "Idus, quercus, ficus, manus, sir," I replied innocently. "That will do. Go back to your places, and if I do catch you talking again in school hours " "Please, sir, that wasn't talking," said Mercer in expostulation. "Silence, sir.
I saw him descend slowly, and Mr Hasnip sign to the boys to follow, after which, giving me a sad look, he too descended, leaving me alone with Mr Rebble, whose first words were so stern and harsh that I could not turn to him and confide and ask his sympathy and help.
Mr Rebble whispered to the Doctor. "An accessory, it seems, Hodson," said the Doctor. "You will come to my room directly after dinner, with Mercer and Burr junior. I have not heard the names of the other boys who were present," continued the Doctor. "Please, sir, Wilson was one," cried Dicksee.
