Lowington wished to take their advice upon the serious matter before him; and before he permitted the second lieutenant to retire, he stated the case to them. "Gambling!" groaned the chaplain. "I detected them in the act myself," added Mr. Lowington. "You may retire, Mr. Kendall." "Why, this is awful!" "Boys will do almost anything that men will," said Dr. Winstock, the surgeon.
"Yes; Gand is the French name of the place," replied Dr. Winstock. "There are many cities in Europe which you would not recognize by their foreign appellations." As the train stopped the whistle of the Young America's boatswain called the students together, and Mr. Lowington told them they could stay only two hours in the place.
Be good enough to understand that you have not been talking confidentially." Miss Winstock ought to have been intimidated and paralysed by the menacing manner of the former Terror of the Departments. But she was not. "Please, please, Mr. Prohack," she said calmly, "don't talk in that strain.
I hadn't the slightest idea it was M miss W instock. I can't make you out sometimes, Arthur really I can't!" The fellow had honestly forgotten that he had in fact grossly deceived his wife to the point of planting Mimi Winstock upon her as somebody else.
Winstock informed Paul and Grace that they were in the very waters where the English fleet, under Admiral Sir Edward Hawkes, had won the great naval victory over the French in 1759. "Sail, ho!" shouted the lookout. "Where away?" called the officer forward. "On the weather bow. It's a topsail schooner, and looks like the Josephine."
They are all young nabobs, and if you ever let them go ashore, you will have your hands full, Mr. Lowington. They will drink beer and wine, visit bad places, gamble and carouse. While they have plenty of money, you can hardly prevent them from being a nuisance to you and to themselves." "There is a great deal of force in what you say, Dr. Winstock."
Winstock and Paul sat at one end of the section, and Mr. Stoute and Terrill at the other, while Mr. Lowington and Professor Hamblin occupied the middle seats. The two students were allowed to occupy the places at the windows, so that they could see the country which they passed through; for the principal deemed this as important for them as their lessons; in fact, it was a study of geography.
You say that he ran into you, whereas the fact is that he was nearly standing still while you were going too fast and you skidded badly into him off the tramlines. And he's found witnesses to prove what he says." "I may have been a little mistaken," Miss Winstock admitted with light sadness. "I won't say I wasn't. You know how you are in an accident."
The venerable personage bowed gracefully, but did not offer to shake hands, or indulge in any republican familiarities. "That's the King of Belgium," said Dr. Winstock to Paul, as the principal and the venerable person approached the line, followed by the officials. "The king!" exclaimed Paul, taken all aback by the announcement; and this was the first time he had ever looked upon a live monarch.
Prohack, with a gift of dissimulation equal to Carthew's own, gave him an address in Bond Street. "I have another very urgent appointment," said Mr. Prohack to Miss Winstock as he sat down beside her.
