Of course he doesn't go in for games much, but he's into everything, the Lit., the Dramatic Society, and Scuddy says he helped him tremendously with the Senior class in the Y. M. C. A. work." "Yes," said Jane, "and the Register told Papa that the University had never graduated such a brilliant student.
You must; to show the flunky what you can do." "Oh, don't I wish I was going? He'll have turtle soup, and venison, and two men behind his chair." "And the beautiful young ladies looking at him every time he takes a mouthful." "But he dare not go courting after thirteen jumps. And he has vowed that he will have another. Come, Captain Scuddy, no time to lose."
Forgetting the dignity of a Post-Captain, the gallant Scuddy made a cut across the grass, as if he were playing prisoner's base with the boys at Stonnington, and intercepted the fair prize in a bend of the brook, where the winter sun was nursing the first primrose. "You, Captain Scudamore!" said the bridesmaid, turning as if she could never trust her eyes again. "You must have lost your way.
If gentle Scuddy rescues her, it won't be by Homer, or Horace, or even holy orders, but by hard tugs and stout seamanship."
Then with a little smile, partly at herself for petulance, partly to him for forgiveness, she offered her soft warm rich white hand, and looked at him beautifully as he took it. Alack and alas for poor "Captain Scuddy"! His eyes, with a quick shy glance, met hers; and hers with soft inquiry answered, "I wonder what you think of me?"
"Oh, do," cried the other little fellows, crowding round him. "It is ever so much better than Virgil, Captain Scuddy!" "I am not Captain Scuddy, as I tell you every day. I'm afraid I am a great deal too good-natured with you. I shall have to send a dozen of you up to be caned." "No, you couldn't do that if you tried, Captain Scuddy. But what are you thinking of, all this time?
Allen, "Miss Jane here is finally responsible. Hers were the big shells I fired." "Not mine," replied Jane. "I got them from Mr. Romayne, your brother-in-law, Larry." "Well, I'm blowed!" said Larry. "That's where the stuff came from! But it was mighty effective, and certainly you put it to us, Mr. Allen. You made us all feel like fighting. Even Scuddy, there, ran amuck for a while."
"Two miles' range is all that we allow in England to French officers upon parole. These generous terms are due to your kind friendship." Before very long the gentle Scuddy was as happy as a prisoner can expect to be, in his comfortable quarters at Beutin.
Thus are women adored by men, especially those who deserve it least. "Attention, my dear friends, attention, if you please," cried the Rector, rising, with a keen glance at Scuddy. "I will crave your attention before the ladies go, and theirs, for it concerns them equally. We have passed through a period of dark peril, a long time of trouble and anxiety and doubt.
It was a patrol party. He was scouting and ran into an enemy patrol and was instantly killed. The poor girl, Helen Brookes, I think it is." "Helen Brookes!" exclaimed Larry. "Yes, Jane says you knew her. She was engaged to Scuddy. And Scallons is gone too." "Scallons!" "And Smart, Frank Smart." "Frank Smart! Oh! his poor mother! My God, this war is awful and grows more awful every day."
