Which they did, and amused themselves during the interval with trying on Mr Brown's Wellingtons, and tying together the laces of all Harry's boots they could discover. In due time Harry appeared in grand array. "How jolly early you are!" was his hospitable greeting. "You said six-thirty, didn't you?" said Telson. "Yes; it's only just that now. Nobody will be here for a quarter of an hour yet.
So the reason why Bloomfield and Game could find no fags in Parrett's house to steer for them was because all the fags of Parrett's house, aided by Telson of the schoolhouse, were at that moment paying a business call at Welch's, and having on the whole rather a lively time of it.
"I was looking for a book I had lost," said Bosher, "in the Big near our door, and I heard Cusack tell Pilbury to wait till he went and saw if the coast was clear. So they'll be here directly." "Jolly lucky you heard them," said Parson. "What shall we do, you fellows?" There was a slight interval for reflection, and then Telson said, "Fancy the jug dodge is about the best.
This last exclamation was in honour of Telson, who appeared on the scene at that moment, and with whom the speaker joyfully departed, leaving Riddell only half informed as to the scientific defects in Gilks's style of boxing. In due time Bloomfield appeared, not a little curious to know the object of this early interview.
"These seniors are a nuisance," said Telson, after a pause; "and the worst of it is, we can't well pay them out." "Not in school, or in the Big either," said King. "We might stick nettles in their beds, you know," suggested Bosher, "or something of that sort." "Rather low, that," said Parson, "and not much fun."
"What would be the good to him? They hadn't a boat. Besides, they all go against Riddell, don't they?" "Well, I mean to say," said Telson, falling back on to the next grievance, "your fellows ought to row us again. We'd have rowed you again like a shot if our line had smashed. We don't funk you." "And do you think we funk you?
It was evident from the restless way in which he looked up at every footstep outside he did not expect to remain long undisturbed at this harmless occupation. Nor was he disappointed. In about ten minutes King entered and said, "I say, Telson, you're in for it! You're to go to Bloomfield directly." "What's he given you?" "A licking!" said King; "and stopped my play half a week.
"Jolly spree, wasn't it?" said Parson, when it was all over, fanning himself with a copybook and readjusting his collar. "Stunning!" said Telson; "never thought they'd stand it so long. No end of a speech, that of yours!" "Yes," said Parson, complacently; "most of it impromptu, too! Managed to spin it out, I fancy!" "Rather," said King, admiringly.
Telson, have you forgotten how to boil eggs?" Telson said emphatically he had not, and proceeded forthwith to give practical proof of his cunning, while Parson volunteered his aid in cutting up the bread, and buttering the toast. In due time the preliminaries were all got through, and the trio sat down to partake of the reward of their toil.
"Oh, I don't know," said King. "It's not so bad. I tried to keep a diary once, but I could never find anything to say." "Well, I guess Bosher's not hard-up in that line," said Telson, laughing. "But, I say, we ought to give it to him back somehow." "I'll give it to him back pretty hot!" exclaimed Parson. "I vote we burn the boshy thing." "Oh, you can't do that.
