Young Cusack, as is the manner of small tugs, assumes complete control of his parent and rattles away incessantly as he conducts him through the grounds, past the school, towards the all-attracting "Big." "That's Welch's," he says, pointing to the right wing of the long Tudor building before them "that's Welch's on the right, and Parrett's in the middle, and the schoolhouse on the left.
Lay on to it, you fellows; he can't go straight! Six more strokes and you're into him! One, two, three ha, ha! he's funking it! four, five now a good one for the last six! Hooroo! bump to us! Welch's for ever!"
For all that, the day that ensued was anxious and troubled. Not so much on account of Welch's. On that point his mind was pretty nearly made up. It seemed a call of duty, and therefore it was a call of honour, which Riddell dare not disobey.
For all that he's quite correct. Mr Bloomfield is a well-meaning man, no doubt, but he certainly is not an all-round man." Riddell then rose, and his rising was the signal for a great demonstration of party feeling. Parrett's of course went against him, and a large section of Welch's, but the schoolhouse, aided by Cusack, Pilbury, and Co., backed him up. He spoke nervously but boldly.
The meeting promised to be an important one in many respects. It was the first after the boat-race, and consequently party feeling was likely to make use of the opportunity to let off a little of its steam. Then, of course, it was the captain's first public appearance as the head of Welch's, and that was sure to excite a good deal of curiosity and interest.
There was a momentary break there, but Willcox was able to check the confusion, and to reform his lines facing westward as I had originally directed; Welch's brigade was on my right, closely supporting Cook's battery and Christ's beyond it.
I say, who's going to lick, you or Welch's?" "Welch's!" exclaimed the company, in general contempt. "It's like their cheek to challenge us. We mean to give them a lesson." "Mind you do," said Telson, "or it'll be jolly rough on Parrett's. No end of a poor show you made at the Rockshire." "Look here, Telson," said Parson, gravely, "suppose we don't talk about that.
It contained three lines, hastily scrawled in lead-pencil, requesting Richard Shackford to call at the house in Welch's Court at eight o'clock on a certain Tuesday night. The note had been written, as the date showed, on the day preceding the Tuesday night in question the night of the murder! For a second or two Mr. Taggett stood paralyzed.
In fact, it was the story of the Dog in the Manger carried out in school life he would not be troubled doing his duty to Welch's, and he would not if he could help it let any one else do it for him. Riddell, if truth must be told, was not at all sorry to have an early opportunity of coming to an explanation with Silk.
He had been intending to go all the time, but it was this speech of Welch's that definitely clinched the matter. One of his mottoes for everyday use was 'Let not thyself be scored off by Welch. 'That's all right, he said. 'Of course I shall go. What's the next item you'd like on this machine?
