That old query, half furtive and half proud, as much as to say: 'I know she's not in the stud-book, but, d n it, I sired her! And then the old sudden gloom, which lasted but a second, and gave way again to chaff. Lennan stayed very few minutes. Never had he felt farther from his old school-chum. No. Whatever happened, Johnny Dromore must be left out.
Anne listened in shocked silence. Ruby Gillis, her old school-chum, dying? Could it be possible? Of late years they had grown apart; but the old tie of school-girl intimacy was there, and made itself felt sharply in the tug the news gave at Anne's heartstrings. Ruby, the brilliant, the merry, the coquettish! It was impossible to associate the thought of her with anything like death.
But, remember, straight speech means a straight mind. You see, the families have always been all in all to each other; the colonel is a school-chum of mine we're never out of school in this world and my wife was a nursery-chum of Sue's mother she was killed on the hunting-field ten years ago. Your aunt and I have always regarded the girl as our own.

Good-bye, Ashton, my old school-chum, we shall never meet again after to-night; but I shan't forget our happy days together I mean the days at Dr. Seaward's they were the happy ones, after all." "George, you are ill, and your brain is touched. Not meet again after to-night? Nonsense, we don't part so easily, if that is the case;" and Ashton locked the door, and put the key in his pocket.
George Weston, my old pippin, who ever thought of turning you up in London!" "Harry Ashton! my old school-chum, how are you?" and the two friends shook hands with a heartiness that surprised the passers-by. "Where ever have you been to, all these long years, George?" said Aston; "only fancy, we have never seen each other since that day we were playing hockey at dear old Dr.
Bosswinkel, who was just coming up, started back in much alarm as this school-chum of his came bumping into his arms. "What in the name of all that's " he cried; "what's going on? what ails your face?" Tussmann, almost out of his mind, related all that had happened, in broken phrases; how Albertine had behaved to him how Edmund had treated him.
