From the date of that fight all the boys became Turnerites, our village school commenced a prosperous career, and our kind old master had the satisfaction of living to see it grow into one of the most noted in the district for turning out well-educated boys. "Finally: Tom Turner became a real `Professor' a Professor of Theology. And Tiddler became a real doctor of medicine.
After passing through five forms and upsetting them all, they arrived at the sixth form, which demanded a new volume to itself, called, let us say, "Tom Tiddler's School-days Continued," and mainly devoted to cigars and flirtation. "Tom Tiddler at College" followed all "wines" and proctor-baiting, with Tom Tiddler as stroke in the victorious 'Varsity eight.
"`Very true, said I, with a look of mock respect; `but as none of us intend to enter the learned professions except Doctor Tiddler and Professor Turner, we don't want Latin or Greek; what we want is fun. "`Hear! hear! burst from Spinks, who was an impressionable little fellow, and easily influenced for good or evil.
Just as I laid hands on the nest, in which there were four eggs, I heard voices below, and looking down, observed Turner, Tiddler, and Tadpole passing. "`I wonder what careless fellow has flung down his books in that fashion, said Tom. "`I am the careless fellow! I shouted. At the same time I flung the nest straight into his upturned face.
'There are City-articles against the mine this morning or I should have been on my way to Whinfold at this moment. The shares are lower. 'The merry boys are at work to bring your balloon to the ground, that you may quit it for them to ascend. Tiddler has enemies, like the best of mines: or they may be named lovers, if you like.
I'll follow, and watch to see that no mischief happens to you. "`It's a shame to rob the poor old woman, said Tiddler. `I'll have nothing to do with it. I'm sure that Tom Turner would object if he were here. "`Oh! you needn't come if you're afraid, said I, with a sneer; `and if there are any other cowardly Turnerites here, they may join you. Whoever has got pluck will follow the Frees.
But why need Bluebell have blushed so consciously, as she dashed into Lightning galops and Tom Tiddler quadrilles, till Trove, like a dog of taste, took his offended ears and outraged nerves off to his lair in the lobby? His fair mistress soon after sought her bower, a scantily furnished retreat, but, like most girls' rooms, taking a certain amount of individuality from its occupier.
However, there's no fear about my girl. Fredi's hard to snare. And what brings you Cityward? 'I want to know whether I shall do right in selling out of the Tiddler mine. 'You have multiplied your investment by ten. 'If it had been thousands! 'Clearly, you sell; always jump out of a mounted mine, unless you're at the bottom of it.
There was no hesitation about Pump. He flung about his money as if it had been dross; and Mrs. P. Temple, on the horse Tom Tiddler, which her husband gave her, was the most dashing of military women at Brighton or Dublin. How old Mrs. Figtree used to bore me and Polly with stories of Pump's grandeur and the noble company he kept!
And I will meet them. She received a compliment. She was on the foot to go. But she had forgotten the Tiddler mine. The Tiddler mine was leisurely mounting. Victor stated the figures; he saluted her hand, and Lady Grace passed out, with her heart on the top of them, and a buzz about it of the unexpected having occurred She had her experiences to match new patterns in events; though not very many.
