For he was one of a few at Willoughby to whom this early-morning service was something more than a mere routine, and who felt, especially at times like this, that in those beautiful familiar words was to be found the best of all preparations for the day's duties. Telson, as he stood down by the door, with his hands in his pockets, beside his friend Parson, was void of all such reflections.
If I hadn't found out about it from Parson and Telson, who saw the three of them coming out, I shouldn't have known it till now." Bloomfield's face brightened. "Then you found it out quite independently?" asked he. "To be sure." "All right. Then the best thing you can do is to report him for it at once." "What?" exclaimed Riddell, aghast, "report him?" "Yes.
We can't go out on the river; we can't go into town; we can't go and have a lark in Welch's; you can't come over to see us " "No; that's a howling shame!" said Telson. "Why, we haven't had a spree for weeks." "You seemed to think my diary was a spree," said Bosher, meekly. There was a general laugh at this. "By the way, have you got it here?" "No fear!
Coates had a black eye, and Porter's jacket was torn from his back. Riddell had twice been knocked down and trodden on, while Wyndham, Telson, and others of the rescuing party were barely recognisable through dust and bruises. On the other side the loss had been even greater.
"Who's in!" shouted Parson from the school gate, the moment Brown appeared about a quarter of a mile down the road. Brown, of course, could not hear. The question was repeated with greater vehemence as he approached, until at last he had no excuse for not hearing. "Do you hear, you old badger, who's in?" yelled Parson and Telson.
In the presence of this common doom, schoolhouse, Parretts, and Welchers for the first time that term showed symptoms of a passing brotherhood. They stood rooted to the spot and speechless for at least two minutes after the ill-starred master had vanished, then Telson usually the first to recover his wits whistled drearily and low, "Whew! we will catch it!" "Think we'll be expelled?" said Cusack.
What he wanted was to find out whether there was any truth in the explanation which the diary afforded of young Wyndham's conduct, and he was a long way from that yet. "Have some more cake, Telson," said he, by way of changing the subject. Telson cheerfully accepted the invitation, while Parson, to spare his host the trouble of pressing him to take an apple, helped himself.
It was some time before Parson and Telson, as they walked slowly back along the passage, could find words suitable to the occasion. Then Telson said, "Well, that was a rum thing of him to do!" "What did he mean?" asked Parson. "Goodness knows. But, I say, it's a jolly soak being stopped the river, though." "Yes, and having to get a `permit' when the time is up.
And of course it was hardly to be expected they would confine their conversation altogether to a review of their misdeeds. The talk gradually became general, and occasionally even animated. "Guess Pil and I will have to shut up chemistry after this," said Cusack. Pilbury smiled grimly. "What do you call the beastly stuff?" asked Telson. "Sulphuretted hydrogen," said Cusack, briskly.
"It's all very well," said he, "to say it's a schoolhouse chap has done it " "I tell you a schoolhouse chap must have done it," said Parson. "Who else would do such a dirty trick?" "I'll fight you, old man, if you go on like that," observed the schoolhouse fag. "Oh, beg pardon," said Parson, apologetically. "I mean who else could have done it, you know?" "A Welcher might," suggested Telson.
