The cab bumped along over the rough streets to an accompaniment of protests from its frantic passenger. The boy was white-lipped with wrath and fear. Peter's silence that afternoon as to the state of affairs loomed large and significant.
I did not remind him that he had made a speech which sent cold shivers down the spine of our young Apollo; that, in a fine rhetorical flourish dear old fox-hunting ignoramus he declared that the winner of the Newdigate carried the bays of the Laureate in his knapsack; that Randall, white-lipped with horror, murmured to Betty Fairfax, his neighbour at the table: "My God!
"I mentioned the Charity League; but that is not my strongest claim upon your attention. I have another interesting little detail of your life, which I will reserve until another time."

The white-lipped peccaries are found in all the forests of South America from the Caribbean Sea to the Pampas of Buenos Ayres. They are abundant in Paraguay; and Sonnini, the traveller, has observed them in Guyana. Others report their presence on the Orinoco and its tributaries as also on all the waters of the Amazon.
