But all these points you will make yourself familiar with very shortly. As a house-master, you will of course be responsible for everything that takes place in the house the morals, work and play of the boys are under your supervision. You have four Sixth-form boys in the house, who are prefects under you, and in certain matters exercise an authority of their own without appeal to you.
It was lie-in-bed, and no one was in a hurry to get up, especially in rooms where the sixth-form boy was a good-tempered fellow, as was the case in Tom's room, and allowed the small boys to talk and laugh and do pretty much what they pleased, so long as they didn't disturb him.
"Then you mean to say you didn't, do you?" cried the bully, with another grab at my hand. What would have become of me I don't know, had not a sixth-form fellow come by at that moment, at the sight of whom Master Bangs let go my arm, smiled benevolently on me and cringingly on him, and then slunk away to his den, never to find me again within reach of his ten fingers if I could help it.
I strongly suspect, too, that you were the fellow who hit Brown yesterday. I think every one will know, Jones, why you chose Smythe and Brown to pelt, instead of any other monitors. You too come to the sixth-form room after breakfast." "I didn't throw one," said Jones. "You astounding liar," said Henderson, "I saw you with my own eyes." "Oh, ay; of course you'll say so to spite me."
Just look as if you were a sixth-form boy approached by a deputation from the kids. See?" "I'll be as cool and haughty as a " "Freshman in a bun-shop," interposed Venning. "Me, too;" and he put on a high and mighty look. "Don't overdo it, my boy," said Mr. Hume, with a grave smile.
The fine weather had also tempted nearly all the inhabitants of Saint Winifred's to be spectators of the contest, and numbers of ladies were present, for whom the boys had politely left a space within the circle. When the chief jumping prize had been won by an active fellow in the sixth-form, another prize was proposed for all boys under fifteen.
Little wonder that the possessor of such gifts became a Sixth-form boy and football captain at his public school, and achieved boating and cricketing successes, an honorable degree, and the repute of being the most popular man of his day at the university.
One of these chanced to be a sixth-form boy and the other a fifth, and a sudden impulse seized us of the latter class to cheer our man vehemently, and back him to be the first to reach home. The sixth-form fellows, thus challenged, became equally excited in backing their man, and so, without premeditation, a regular match was made.
M. Filleul and Ganimard exchanged glances of unconcealed astonishment. The inspector no longer thought of withdrawing. At last, the magistrate muttered: "We must have M. de Gesvres's opinion." And Ganimard agreed: "Yes, we must have his opinion." And they sent to beg the count to come to the drawing room. The young sixth-form pupil had won a real victory.
He passed through the vestibule, and then paused for a moment to glance over the empty benches. His heart was still proud and high, and he walked up to the seat which he had last occupied as a sixth-form boy, and sat himself down there to collect his thoughts. And, truth to tell, they needed collecting and setting in order not a little.
