While the Rover boys were making their purchases Lew Flapp and his cronies turned back into the tavern. There was a billiard room in the rear and here they began to play billiards. "We'll let the Rovers start for home first," said Rockley. "It will be safer." When the Rover boys reached the vicinity of the Staton cottage they found Alice and Helen in the dooryard, watching for them.
Yet it was chiefly a kind of politics they talked. On the second day after Hadrian's arrival, Matilda sat with her father in the evening. She was drawing a picture which she wanted to copy. It was very still, Hadrian was gone out somewhere, no one knew where, and Emmie was busy. Mr. Rockley reclined on his bed, looking out in silence over his evening-sunny garden.
"Thin, if he wanted to git you into throuble, he was after being a fellow who had a grudge against ye?" "That must be it," put in Captain Putnam. "Do ye know of any such persons?" "Yes, there are a number of such persons," answered Dick. And he mentioned Dan Baxter, Flapp, Rockley, and a number of others who in the past had proved to be his enemies.
After this came several other contests, in each of which the crowd pitted against the Flapp faction won. This made Lew Flapp, Rockley, Pender, Jackson and a number of others feel very sore. "We must win something," cried Pender fiercely. "If we don't we'll be the laughing stock of the whole academy." At last came the half mile race for which Sam had entered.
But Tom ordered a drop and there the team clung, refusing to budge an inch further. "Time is almost up," said George Strong. "Three minutes more!" "Up!" cried Rockley. "Up and pull for all you are worth!" cried Tom. "Pull, I tell you! Make every ounce of muscle count!" And pull Tom's team did as never before, and Tom with them, watching for the first sign of returning weakness.
"I am going down to Cedarville this evening," he said. "I want you to go along and invite Jackson and Pender and Rockley." "Going to have a good time?" asked Ben Hurdy. "Yes and you can tell the others so, and tell them if they know some others who want a good time, and can keep their mouths shut about it, to bring them along. But mind, Hurdy, we want no blabbers."
The leader, I believe, was Lew Flapp, and his main supporters were Pender, Rockley, and Jackson." To this Dick did not say a word. "I know you would speak if I were accusing anybody wrongly, Rover. In one way I can appreciate your silence. But this affair was carried too far. It was not an ordinary hazing. The plot was one to blast your honest name and bring you into disgrace.
Big fires were kept burning, and hot coffee could be had whenever wanted, so scarcely anybody suffered from the drenching received. The storm had somewhat disarranged the plans made by Flapp, Rockley, and their particular cronies.
I lost that book some weeks ago, when I had my fight with Lew Flapp, Rockley, and the rest of that crowd that were dismissed from the academy." "And what of the envelope, Richard?" asked Captain Putnam. "I don't remember anything about that. It probably came on a letter from home and I must have thrown it away." "The book and the envelope were found on the floor of the shop that was robbed."
Only two events had been won a boat race of small importance and the race in which Lew Flapp had come off victor, and the latter victory was dimmed by the knowledge that Sam Rover had cut down Flapp's time over the course by eight seconds. "We may as well sell out and go home," said Pender, in deep disgust. "But we can't go home," returned Rockley.
