He's stopped their river-play, and they won't be able to show up at the regatta." "I'm jolly glad!" said Cusack; "chaps like them deserve to catch it, don't they, Pil?" "Rather!" replied Pilbury. A silence ensued, during which both heroes were doubtless meditating upon the unexampled iniquities of the Parrett juniors.
You ask Parrett," said he, in tones of manly appeal. "Then you mean Mr Parrett has already punished you?" asked Riddell. "Rather," said Telson. "I'd sooner have had a licking any day than get stopped river-play. Wouldn't you, Parson?" "I should think I would," said Parson. "Well," said Riddell, dubiously, "of course if Mr Parrett has already punished you " "You ask him!" again said Parson.
"You ask him if he's not stopped our river-play. Ah five of us! Mayn't go on at all for a week, and then we've got to get your permit. Isn't that what he said, you chaps?" "Yes," chimed in the "chaps," in injured voices. "Well, then," said Riddell, "as that is so, I think you can that is, I wish just to tell you you it mustn't occur again." "Oh, all right," said Parson, making for the door.
"Parson coxes for Parrett's," said Telson. "Parrett I mean Mr Parrett stopped my river-play a week, sir," said Parson, by way of explaining the circumstance; "but I've had captain's leave to row out since, so they kept me in the boat." This sporting conversation went on for some time longer, Mrs Patrick not venturing again to join in.
"He's not steered the four yet; but he's had some tub practice, and is beginning to find out that the natural place for a boat is between the banks instead of on them." "Oh," said Wyndham, "I heard Fairbairn say he promised very well. He's a light-weight, you know, and as the juniors are all stopped river-play, we shall have to get a cox. And if Riddell will do, it won't be a bad thing any way."
