Miss Bascom, Miss Thorndyke, and an exquisite young thing, Miss Groome " "Oh, those are the haute noblesse." Gora's tipper lip curled satirically.

"I suppose they ought to do them in one innings now?" "Ought to try," says Tipper. "Some of these kids play fairly well." "They get well coached, that's what it is. What with Bloomfield, and Fairbairn, and Mr Parrett, they've been drilled, and no mistake." "Let's see," says Wibberly, "there are five Parretts in the eleven, aren't there." Ashley laughs.
Among the truants had been no less than five monitors Game, Tipper, Ashley, Silk, and Tucker. "It would be a farce," said the doctor, severely, "after what has happened, to allow you to retain the posts of confidence you have held in the school.

To-day the others slowly scattered, and the parson sat alone at the tipper end of the room disappointed and troubled. John strode up to the door. "Are you ready?" he asked in a curt unnatural voice.
