Cousin Rupert always showed a friendship for us, and I believe would have given us his company more often but for my father's disapproval of his manner of life; for he was already known as a wild companion, and one who set little store by religion and respectability.
To his surprise the boy received his advances with some constraint and awkwardness, glancing uneasily in the direction of Johnny. A sudden idea crossed Mr. Ford's mind. "Were you looking for me at the schoolroom just now?" "No, sir." "You didn't look in at the window to see if I was there?" continued the master. "No, sir." The master glanced at Rupert.
"I'll take a few months' holiday first," I replied, "and then," I added in my gay, dashing way, "if the place is open hang it if I don't go!" "Good old bounder!" she said, "and don't think too much of that precious Prince Rupert. He was a bad lot." She blushed again at me as her husband entered. "Take Rose's advice, Rupert, my boy," he said, "and go!"
I could see that Rupert was whistling on a low key, and affecting to look cool; but my sister's solemn, earnest, astonished manner had more effect on us both, I believe, than either would have been willing to own.
Then he put on his uniform. "Now you are yourself again, Clinton. Sit down and tell us all about it. What are your plans?" Rupert told him the arrangements that Major Kitchener was making for him, and both his companions greatly approved of the purchase of the fast camels.
They were drawn up on a little ascent in a large common fallow field, in one line extended from one side of the field to the other, the field something more than a mile over, our army in the same order, in one line, with the reserve.

"One of the infants," she said, "had a tiny mole no bigger than a pin's head on his shoulder, and I was sure that I would always know them apart from that."

For a time Rupert Ames was quite reserved in the presence of the young school teacher. Naturally reticent, he was more than ever shy in the company of an educated lady from the East. Rupert never saw her but he thought of the day of her arrival on Dry Bench and the time when he held her in his arms.
John turned to the door again. "Good-by," he said. Mr. Westley did not look up. When, an hour later, John landed in New York from the ferry, his mood had changed. The sun and the breeze had done their work. He looked on life once more with a cheerful and optimistic eye. His first act, on landing, was to proceed to the office of the News and enquire for Rupert Smith.
"Have I had the honour of being recommended to you by the honourable gentleman your father?" he asked. "No, indeed," Rupert said. "It was mine host at the Bell, who advised me that I could not do better than come to your shop." "Ah, you are known to him, beyond doubt," John Haliford said, brightening.
