"Very well, Bill, hit that young woman over the head with the butt of your pistol. Don't be afraid of hurting her. "Ah! I thought you would change your mind. So it is under the bed. "Look under, Dick. What is there?" "A square box," another voice said. "Well, haul it out." "Come on," Bob Repton whispered to the others; "the moment we are in, shout." He stood for a moment in the doorway.
Repton turned her eyes to her plate and said demurely: "There might be more than one reason for that." Thresk abandoned all attempt to fence with her. Mrs. Repton was not of those women who would lightly give their women-friends away. Her phrase "my Stella" had, besides, revealed a world of love and championship. Thresk warmed to her because of it. He threw reticence to the winds.
Grenfell's father, after a brilliant career at Rugby School and at Balliol College, Oxford, became assistant master at Repton, and later, when he married, head master of Mostyn House School, a position which he resigned in 1882 to become Chaplain of the London Hospital. "He was a man of much learning, with a keen interest in science, a remarkable eloquence, and a fervent evangelistic faith."
"Well, what are you going to do?" "I am going to write to her to ask her to join me in Bombay," he replied. A long silence followed upon his words. Jane Repton turned to the mantelshelf and moved an ornament here and another one there. She had contemplated this very consequence of Thresk's journey to Chitipur. She had actually worked for it herself. She was frank enough to acknowledge that.
"What ridiculous nonsense you are talking!" cried Olive Repton. "The most striking-looking girl I ever saw!" said Julia Bertram. "Why, Fan, what is your reason for this?" "Call it jealousy if you like," said Fanny; "call it any name under the sun, only don't worry me about it." As she spoke she rose deliberately and left the room, her companions looking after her in amazement.
Boys were less trusted, and more harshly treated; in consequence of which there was a kind of warfare between the masters and the boys, in which the masters, in spite of their canes, did not always get the best of it.

Repton," the latter began, "after the spirit you showed, the other day, I shall be glad to utilize your services still farther, if you are willing." "I shall be very glad to be useful in any work upon which you may think fit to employ me, sir." "I wish to communicate with Mr. Logie, at Tangiers," the governor said. "It is a month, now, since we have had any news from him.
We had a race, and he runs faster than Jack; fifty yards, in four hundred and twenty, is the utmost I can give him." "What nonsense you do talk, Will!" his wife said, laughing. "I am sure Master Repton must think you out of your mind." "It is a very jolly way of being out of his mind, Mrs. Medlin. You don't know how pleased I am."
