These trousers, it is just as well to state, had arrived months before from Poole, along with a suit of Rutter's and the colonel had forwarded a draft for the whole amount without examining the contents, until Alec had called his attention to the absurd width of the legs and the ridiculous spread of the seat.
Sir Griffin had been very violent, misbehaving himself grossly in Mrs. Carbuncle's house, and Miss Roanoke had declared that under no circumstances would she ever speak to him again. It was Mrs. Rutter's opinion, however, that this violence had been "put on" by Sir Griffin, who was desirous of escaping from the marriage because of the affair of the diamonds.
As to his remaining here, all I have to say is that if a boy is old enough to be compelled to pay his debts he is old enough to decide where he will live. You have yourself established that rule and it will be carried out to the letter." Rutter's face hardened: "But you haven't got a dollar in the world to spare!" "That may be, but it doesn't altar the situation; it rather strengthens it."
Dowd shakes his head modest. No, he confesses that wasn't an exact description of their ratin'. "We usually qualified, when we got in at all," says he, "in the fourth flight for the Seniors' tournament. But as a rule we did not attempt the general competitions. We stuck to our daily foursome. Staples and Rutter were the other two. Rutter's in steel, you know; Staples in copper.
Outrageous, sir never is done nothing less than murder. Ought to be prosecuted for challenging a man under his own roof and at night too. No toss-up for position, no seconds except a parcel of boys. Vulgar, sir infernally vulgar, sir. I haven't the honor of Colonel Rutter's acquaintance but if I had I'd tell him so served the brat right damn him!"
"Look out!" yelled Rutter, more excitedly than before. "Get away from there!" Tom ran some distance down the trail. Then he halted, laughing. "I wonder what's on Rut's mind," he smiled, as Hazelton joined him. Jack Rutter came at a gallop, reining up hard as he reached where Tom had stood. Again that whirring, clicking sound. Rutter's pony reared. "Still, you brute!" commanded Rutter sternly.
Rutter's verse also displays a certain nervousness of its own which is wanting in the model, though it preserves the intermixture of blank verse with irregular rimes which Daniel affected.
"They might have taken more notice of the gentleman at Rutter's," he said, "being a smaller shop. I'm going to admire that case and pretend it belonged to a friend of mine." "I want you to try and buy it for me," Chris said, quietly. Rutter's was reached at length, and after some preliminaries the cigar-case was approached. Merritt took it up, with a well-feigned air of astonishment.
"That, gentlemen," he exclaimed, straightening to his feet, one hand held high above his head, "is the most idiotic and unjust utterance that ever fell from Talbot Rutter's lips! and one he will regret to his dying day. This boy you all know most of you have known him from childhood, and you know him, as I do, to be the embodiment of all that is brave and truthful.
These comparisons were invariably made in a circle, beginning at Rutter's brown eyes, taking in his features and peculiarities many of them reproduced in his son's such as the firm set of the lips and the square line of the chin and ending, quite naturally, with the brown orbs again.
