You may think it all very funny, but I'll report it to the Doctor, and then you'll look foolish." "How nice! So pleasant it will be to look for once like what you look always," observed Pembury, gnawing the top of his crutch. At that moment there was a loud shout of laughter in the passage outside, confirming the monitor's complaint. Wraysford walked hastily to the door.
"I tell you you're a liar to say so!" again he exclaimed. "He's not a cheat, I tell you; he never cheated. You're a pack of liars, all of you!" "I say, draw it mild, Wray, you know," interposed Pembury. "You needn't include me in your compliments." Wraysford glared at him a moment and then coloured slightly. "You don't call Oliver a cheat?" he said, inquiringly.
He follows his man like a shadow. In and out among the forwards, and round about past the quarter-backs; and when at last Wraysford is borne down by a combined force of half and three-quarter-backs, Greenfield is there to take the ball on. "Look-out there!" cries the County captain, "mark that man."
Well, I was so disgusted when he came up after the examination, and began to insinuate that I knew all about the missing paper, that Well, you know how I distinguished myself." "It would have served him right if you'd throttled him," observed Wraysford. "But I say, Noll," added he more gravely, "why on earth, old man, didn't you say all this then? What a lot of unpleasantness it would have saved."
As soon as lesson was over, the Fifth retired to its own quarters in a perturbed state of mind, there to ponder over what had happened. Oliver spared them the embarrassment of his society as usual, and Wraysford was not there either. So the Fifth were left pretty much to their own devices and the guidance of some lesser lights. "Isn't it queer?" said Ricketts.
After a long pause, which seemed to drive Loman almost to despair, he said, "You'll wonder what I have come here for. I know we've not been friends. But but, Greenfield, I'm in awful trouble." "What is it?" again asked Oliver. "Why, the fact is," said Loman, gaining courage, as he found neither Oliver nor Wraysford disposed to resent his visit "the fact is, Greenfield, I'm in debt.
To rap the array of inky knuckles inside with a ruler, and so disengage the captive foot, was the work of a minute. Oliver stood for a moment facing the door and trembling with anger, but Wraysford, taking him gently by the arm, said, "Come along, old boy!" There was something in his voice and look which brought a sudden flush into the pale face of the angry Oliver.
But he said it was meant as a compliment, and that the Doctor was greatly pleased with it." "Well," resumed Pembury, laughing, "they won't allow any of us to contribute. "Upon my word, it's a splendid idea!" exclaimed Wraysford, jumping up in raptures. And every one else applauded Pembury's proposition.
In an instant Wraysford quitted his hold and plunged once more into the rapid. How, he knew not, but he just reached the hapless boy. It was too late to recover the friendly branch. All he could do was to cling to Stephen and trust to reaching calm water safely. Many a bruise the two received in that terrible passage, but the elder boy never once quitted his hold of the younger.
Most of the assembly agreed that "there would be a row about it," with which assurance they passed on to the next notice. "Wanted, a Smart Fag. No Tadpoles or Guinea-pigs need apply. Horace Wraysford, Fifth Form." "Bravo, Horatius!" said Ricketts. "A lucky young cub it will be that he takes on," added he, turning to a group of the small boys near.
