"Anyhow, I don't suppose the Skyrockets will show up again this term," said Telson. "They certainly did not get much encouragement last time," said Riddell, laughing. "You know I don't think you fellows do yourselves justice in things like that. Fellows get to think the only thing you're good at is a row."
"Hullo, King, you're all right. When this diary's published some day, you'll figure all serene," said Telson, laughing. "Wait a bit," said King, "your turn's coming." "`At breakfast sit opposite Telson. He eats vulgar. Thou shouldest not talk with thy mouth full, Telson, I prithee." The readers fairly broke down at this point.
"And," said she, presently, with a slight nervousness in her voice, "I hope you like them?" "Oh," blurted out Telson, "Paddy's not so bad, but the dame's an old beast, you know at least, so fellows say. I say," added he, "don't you tell her I said so!" Miss Stringer regarded him with a peculiar smile, which the boy at once took to mean a promise. So he rattled on.
Parson, for a junior, was very well up in the "rules of the House," and at his suggestion the notice-paper for to-morrow's assembly was got hold of and filled with "amendments." "Call them amendments," said he, "and they can't say anything." "Oh, all serene," said Telson, who had implicit confidence in his friend. "For instance, here you are," said Parson. There'll have to be a division over each.
They accompanied their exertions with a running fire of chat and chaff, which left Riddell very little to do except gently to steer the conversation round towards the point for which this merry meeting was designed. "Frightful job to get old Parson to turn up," said Telson, taking his fourth go-in of potted meat; "he thought you were going to row him about that shindy in the Parliament!"
This is not the first time I have had to speak to some of you for this very conduct." Parson, Telson, Bosher, and the other Parretts looked very dejected at this point. "And it is by no means the first time this term that all of you have been guilty of similar disturbances. Most of you here look frightened and uneasy enough now.
"Yes," said Parson, terrified at the prospect of Mr Parrett having to go through the ordeal. "Telson, Bosher, King, and I are the only boys here." "All serene," cried the jubilant voice outside, "open the door, you fellows!" We draw a veil over the scene which followed!
They ran us up on purpose to make us late. You ask them. It was a beastly low trick!" "And then coming back," continued Telson, "we ran down old Parrett in his skiff and spilt him, and we had to fish him out didn't we, you chaps? and that made us late. You ask Parrett; he's potted us for it, last night." Riddell listened to all this in a bewildered way, not knowing what to make of it.
He had pressed Wyndham to come, but Wyndham was busy that evening with the library. He had appealed to one or two other schoolhouse Limpets, but all, on hearing that the doctor and Co. were to be present, respectfully declined. Finally Brown dropped upon Telson, and condescendingly proposed to him to be present as one of his two friends.
