"Of course, Smith," replied the elder of the Sophomores assuming a persuasive tone, "we shan't urge you. We asked you because we like you, and because you like a little harmless fun. If you don't come I'm afraid you'll regret it when you are here alone. Or, by the way, won't Reydal come?"
"I've come to discuss with you a rather abstruse statement which I have found in Bersey's 'The Human Mind," boomed forth a voice from the depths of the said collar. "Sit down, Reydal, sit down," urged Joe, placing the easiest chair in the den before the fire. "We still have two hours for our chat."
"Yes, Reydal," and from the woe-begotten tone of his voice the happy-go-lucky visitors knew they had scored a point. Suddenly Joe's boyish laugh rang out that laugh that won for him so many friends. "Reydal," he repeated, still laughing. "Reydal, with his philosophy of gloom, and his face as long as a gypsy's tale of woe.
He will sit opposite me here by the fire; he'll spread his coat, open his book, and try to hide his mouth and chin behind his number twenty collar. Then from the depths of shining celluloid he'll quote his own views, contradicting some by-gone philosopher, until the welcome stroke of ten relieves me. Poor Reydal, how can I escape him?"
"Not going," said Rex and continued with a sneering laugh, "I suppose you prefer Reydal?" "Yes," was the rejoinder, "I prefer Reydal." Then moved by a sudden impulse Joe called out: "Come in fellows I want to tell you why I can not go." He took the picture from the mantle and handed it to them.
"We've got some visiting to do in the dorm, but will call for you in an hour or so, and if you should decide not to go with us there is always Reydal." Joe joined with them in the laughter that followed this sally, and then reentered the room, thrilled with a delightful feeling of anticipated adventure. "There's no harm," he assured himself as if repeating a lesson.
