Billy obeyed, evidently unable to make the affair out. By dint of telegrams and messengers, the missing boy turned up again; but it was a long time before Billy was allowed to forget the way he had "seen him off." This is just one specimen of our unlucky schoolfellow's blunders. He was always in some trouble of the kind.

The sorrowful story had been tacitly avoided by both, and Robert was as ignorant of the unhappy history of this one year in his schoolfellow's life as if they had never lived together in friendly companionship in those snug Temple chambers. The letter, written to Miss Talboys by her brother George, within a month of his marriage, was dated Harrowgate.

I got that day at least twenty cuts to my share, which ought to have belonged to Cornet Attwood, of the n th dragoons. When we came to think more coolly over our quondam schoolfellow's swaggering talk and manner, we were not quite so impressed by his merits as at his first appearance among us.

Miss Wylie had pulled at her schoolfellow's skirt, and pulled too hard. "Miss Wylie," said Miss Wilson, flushing slightly, "I must ask you to leave the room." "Oh, no," exclaimed Agatha, clasping her hands in distress. "Please don't, dear Miss Wilson. I am so sorry. I beg your pardon." "Since you will not do what I ask, I must go myself," said Miss Wilson sternly.

I am sure I pity these poor people. What are you looking at, Francine?" Feeling no sort of interest in Mr. and Mrs. Rook, Francine was studying her schoolfellow's lovely face in search of defects. She had already discovered that Cecilia's eyes were placed too widely apart, and that her chin wanted size and character. "I was admiring your complexion, dear," she answered coolly.

And would you, sirrah, wish to know how it was that a sedate Captain of Foot, a studious and rather solitary bachelor of eight or nine and twenty years of age, who did not care very much for the jollities which his comrades engaged in, and was never known to lose his heart in any garrison-town should you wish to know why such a man had so prodigious a tenderness, and tended so fondly a boy of eighteen, wait, my good friend, until thou art in love with thy schoolfellow's sister, and then see how mighty tender thou wilt be towards him.

My oldest inhabitant's grandfather was clerk to a merchant in the city of London, and had therefore some opportunity of knowing his old schoolfellow's proceedings in the metropolis. But the two townsmen don't seem to have seen much of each other in the big city. Their meetings were rare, and, so far as I can make out, for the most part accidental.

Eve had heard nothing during these months, and supposed, in her ignorance of commercial law, that her brother had made reparation for his sins by meeting the forged bills. "Be quick, and go at once to Petit-Claud, dear," she said; "tell him about it, and ask his advice." David hurried to his schoolfellow's office.

"I'll back the winner!" "And I'll take the case into court," said Linda, snatching the flower from her schoolfellow's hand and running on to show it to Miss Strong, who was an authority on the subject. The mistress paused to let the others overtake her. "Bugle, certainly," she decided emphatically. "The first bit we've found this year. It's out early. Self-heal? Oh dear no!
