I had planned to enclose the copy by registered mail; sending it to Box 356, G. P. O., London, which was the address of the department of the Foreign Office for which I worked, but Robinson demanded immediate details. Accordingly I sent back this wire: Buzzing, London. Right. Will wire from Canada. British Territory. Trenton Snell
After breakfast, as Bart was sprucing up the room, and Frank was vainly trying to prepare himself for the first recitation, but simply sat staring in a bewildered way at the book he held, the former said: "You don't know what a slick trick you did last night, Merriwell! Why, I'd given almost anything if I had been the one to soak Snell in that fashion."
"Why," says Miss Snell, as I'm unbuttonin' the door for her, "you might stick around a few minutes to see if he wants little Billy taken to the hospital or anything. I'll let you know." And with that she trips in. "Lively young party, eh?" I remarks to Babe. "Don't mind askin' for what she wants." "Perfectly all right, too," says he, "in a case like this. She isn't one of the helpless kind.
With this, Bart turned to walk away, noting that a great many of the cadets were peering from the windows, some of them grinning with delight. Snell shook his fist at Hodge's back, blustering: "This is all right all right, sir! It is not necessary for me to fight you; you are not on the same level with me." "No," muttered the dark-haired boy, grimly, "I have never sunk as low as that."
Kick him trounce him get rid of him somehow!" "I am sorry to say, sir, that he has attacked the women," answered the doctor. "Betty Snell is very ill, and Mrs Bolton is evidently sickening. What the motherless baby will do, I cannot say. Probably that will die too, and so be provided for." "Heaven forbid!" said the Captain, "for the honest father's sake. The child will have plenty of nurses.
"You shall see." After driving round the town we stopped at the Academy. Morning prayers were over, and the scholars, some sixty boys and girls, were coming downstairs from the hall, to go into the rooms, each side of a great door. Dr. Price was behind them. He stopped when he saw us, an introduction took place, and he inquired for Dr. Snell, as an old college friend.
"It's so mixed," she said; "but we have to go, because Papa don't wish to offend Mr Leigh." "I call that a real pretty sight," said Joshua Snell, turning to his neighbour, who happened to be Peter Greenways. "They've dressed her up very fitting in all them lilac blooms. But wherever did they get such a sight of 'em?"
Indeed, as the two gentlemen reached the door, a landau drove up, a magnificent yellow carriage, lined with brocade or satin of a faint cream colour, drawn by wonderful grey horses, with flaming ribbons, and harness blazing all over with crests: no less than three of these heraldic emblems surmounted the coats-of-arms on the panels, and these shields contained a prodigious number of quarterings, betokening the antiquity and splendour of the house of Clavering and Snell.
"There's grown to be more to it lately than the hen end. Have you heard that sence Bat Reeves got let down by she that was Widder Snell" he nodded toward the house "he has been sort of caught on the bounce, as ye might say, by the Widder Pike? Well, bein' her close neighbor, I know it's so.
"Sure, I know you're too good a sport to send a fellow up. But Snell deserved what he got. I saw his face when he made his talk to Sampson's court. Snell lied. And I'll tell you what, Jim, if it'd been me instead of that Ranger, Bud Snell would have got settled." Jim appeared to be agitated by my forcible intimation of friendship. "Jim, that's between ourselves," I went on. "I'm no fool.
