Boutelle was disgusted and tried to argue about it with the principal, but had to give in finally. But in spite of being required to limit practice to the afternoon hours, the second came fast and there were some very pretty games between it and the 'varsity in those days. Steve started in as a second choice right end, a chap named Sherrard having first claim to the position.
The dreadful blow had fallen; but the acute misery which was immediately to follow was not at present awakened within her. "Come, Elma," said Mrs. Steward. She turned to leave the room. Just as she reached the door she looked back at Miss Sherrard. "After you have exposed Elma, and ruined her character for life, you will doubtless expel her?" she said. "I hope not I think not."
Steve, who was having the time of his life, beamed joyously when the whistle, starting the third period, found him still in the line-up. He had feared that "Boots" would put Sherrard back. But Steve didn't realise the kind of a game he had been putting up. If he had he would have credited "Boots" with more sense.
Steward's caliber disagreeably. She listened with a horror-stricken face. When the school-mistress had finished, she said abruptly: "What do you propose to do now?" "It will be necessary for me to explain the whole circumstances of Elma's wrong-doing to the entire school to-morrow," said Miss Sherrard. "This is necessary for the sake of Kitty Malone."
For a few moments Dorise remained silent, her eyes fixed across the broad river to the opposite bank. "And if they do, he will most certainly clear himself, Mr. Sherrard," she said coldly. "Ah! You still have great faith in him," he laughed airily. "Well we shall see," and he grinned. "Yes, Mr. Sherrard. I still have faith in Mr. Henfrey.
"Alice," said Miss Worrick, coming straight up to Alice when she appeared. "I must ask you to take charge of Kitty Malone." "Why so?" asked Alice in some astonishment. "Just do what I say. Your father and mother are out. Kitty is not to return to school to-morrow until she hears from Miss Sherrard. In the absence of your parents I put her in your charge, Alice.
"I am sorry," she began, "to learn from Miss Worrick that you are showing insubordination and disobedience." "Why, then, now, and won't you let me tell my own story in my own way?" said Kitty. In spite of herself, Miss Sherrard gave an involuntary smile. It soon vanished, but Kitty had caught the glint in the eye and the tremble round the lips.
There are those who find a Spanish bull fight or a civilized American boxing match very enjoyable events. Such men would have found great enjoyment in one incident that served to enliven the monotony of the winter's residence of the Governor at Lecompton. There was one Sherrard who came from Virginia. He was of a good family, but strong drink had been his ruin.
For once, George Sherrard, her mother's friend, had not accompanied them. As a matter of fact, Lady Strathbayne disliked the man, hence he had not been invited. Suddenly Lady Ranscomb exclaimed: "I heard about Hugh Henfrey this evening." "From whom?" asked her daughter, instantly aroused. "From that man who took me in to dinner. I think his name was Bowden." "Oh! That stout, red-faced man.
I am in dreadful disgrace. I only wish I were dead." "Leave us, Miss Worrick," said Miss Sherrard. The door was closed behind the governess; and the head-mistress, taking one of Kitty's cold hands, led her to a seat near herself on the sofa. "There is more behind," she said. "Kitty, you must tell me the truth." "I long to tell you," answered Kitty.
