"Well, I shall have to tell him all about us, won't I? And we were schoolmates together, and I think telling him I love his sister and want to marry her and asking his consent has its funny side. He'll be on our side anyway, Lucy." "I'm afraid nobody will think it's as nice as we do." "Well, of course, it isn't as nice for anybody as it is for us." "Will you tell him right away?"
Hector lost no time in drawing up a statement of the facts connected with the loss of the wallet, which he got Wilkins and Ben Platt to sign. This he put into an envelope directed to Allan Roscoe, accompanied by a brief note, which I subjoin: "MR. ROSCOE: I send you a statement, signed by two of my schoolmates, showing that the charge which Mr.
The story had been told by her chums throughout the school the next day, and Grace found herself the "observed of all observers." "Any of you would have done the same," she said when surrounded by a bevy of admiring schoolmates. "That's what you always say," exclaimed Nora. "But let me tell you I should have been in hysterics if I had been left alone in the dark twelve miles from nowhere."
This was not the "Stars and Stripes," the flag she had been taught to love and honor. She knew that the palmetto flag stood for slavery. Sylvia did not know what Miss Rosalie would say to her, and, even worse than her teacher's disapproval, she was sure that her schoolmates, perhaps even Grace and Flora, would dislike and blame her for not saluting their flag.

Among his schoolmates he had the reputation of talking less than any of the other boys and of knowing more about horses than all of them put together.
By-and-by, a cherry-lipped little girl had to pay a forfeit, and one of her schoolmates pronounced the sentence, in a loud voice: "Kiss Apron-string Sunderland!" That meant me. There was a wild scream of laughter, in which all joined, and I took ingloriously to flight, with little Cherry-lips close at my heels.
"I can't imagine what Ogilvy and Watling and Josiah Blackwood were thinking of! They are out of their heads. I as much as told them so." This was more than I could bear, for I had already pictured myself telling the news to envious schoolmates. "Oh, father, why didn't you take it?" I cried.
