The close of the battle was on the visage of Rufus Abrane fifteen minutes before that Elgin marble under red paint in the ring sat on the knee of a succouring seconder, mopped, rubbed, dram-primed, puppy-peeping, inconsolably comforted, preparatory to the resumption of the great-coat he had so hopefully cast from his shoulders. Not downcast by any means.
"You know my rules, and that I have forbidden fighting. Here, somebody, one of the high form boys you, Burney, let me hear what you have to say. Speak out, sir. Ah, you have been seconder, I suppose?" "Yes, sir," faltered the lad, whose hands showed unpleasant traces of what he had been doing. "Ah," continued the Doctor.

To put the matter briefly and plainly, Captain Kidd was smarting under the indignity which the club had recently put upon him. He had been unanimously blackballed, even his proposer and seconder, who had been browbeaten into nominating him for membership, voting against him.

"Thank you, Durry, old man!" called Douglass in a low voice. A seconder was promptly obtained. Then Chairman Fullerton put the motion.
