"Upon my word," said Bowler, "this is jolly. It's just like the real New Swishford, isn't it, you fellows?" "Warthah," said Braintree, "except my wifle to let fly at the seagulls with."

"But how about my wifle if we don't go home at Cwistmas?" asked Braintree. "Oh, bother! Couldn't you get it sent up somehow, or couldn't you fetch it next Monday? that's the term holiday, you know."
