And Pete dug into his pocket again, watching Andover's face as that astonished individual glanced at the deposit to Pete's credit. "Well, you're the limit!" and the doctor whistled. "What will you spring next?" "Oh, it's mine, all right. A friend was leavin' it to me. He's crossed over." "I s-e-e. Twenty-four thousand dollars! Young man, that's more money than I ever had at one time in my life."
Andover rooters were calling upon their team to tie the score. A touchdown and goal would mean a tie. The Andover team seemed to answer their call, for soon Goodwin scored a touchdown, making the score 12 to 10, and Butterfield, Andover's right halfback, was put to the test amidst great excitement. The ball went just to the side of the goal post, and Lawrenceville had won 12 to 10.
"That's all right, but if he should not recover from the operation " "I'm gambling that he'll pull through," said The Spider. "And there's my ante. It's up to you." "I'll have a receipt made out " The Spider shook his bead. "His life'll be my receipt. And you're writing it don't make no mistake." Andover's pale face flushed. "I'm not accustomed to having my reputation as a surgeon questioned."
So passing the house today, methought I might slip in and ask Rachel if I might wear the new cloak and hood to Lord Andover's; and forthwith she had me up to her room and into this scarlet petticoat in a twinkling, and mine uncle brought the white cloak and hood himself and fastened it on me, and Jacob came with the shoes and said he had had them made strong for the muddy streets, but smart with the buckles on the top.
If Cuthbert would be careful where he took her, and not let her be witness of any of the vile pastimes of cock fighting, bull or bear baiting, or the hearer of scurrilous or blasphemous language, he might have her companionship and welcome; and it would doubtless amuse her to go into Lord Andover's kitchen, where messengers generally waited who had brought notes or messages for members of the family, being treated to cups of sack and other hospitality; and as he was a good man, his household would be well ordered, and the maid would be treated with due civility and respect.
She looked such a child, in her pretty confusion and bashfulness, that not one of them resented her presence amongst them. Courtesy and kindliness had always been Lady Andover's salient characteristics, and there was a native refinement and quaint simplicity about Cherry that would have gone far to disarm severer critics than the present company round Lady Andover.
On making inquiry he discovered that his surmise was correct, and he walked home resolving to lose no more time in delivering his letter, and wondering if he could contrive to take Cherry with him when he paid the visit, to secure for her a sight of the gay streets and a peep into Lord Andover's big house.
He certainly was a giant and towered high above the other members of his team. Soon the whistle blew, and the trouble was on. In memory now I can see Billy Dibble circling Andover's end for twenty-five yards, scoring a touchdown amid tremendous excitement. This all transpired during the first minute and a half of play.
To see a play had always been the very height of her youthful ambition, and had not father said that she could get no hurt at Lord Andover's house? Presently Cuthbert came back, his face aglow with pleasure.
On the previous day his illustrious Andover instructor, Professor Edwards A. Park, had departed; it was fitting that Andover's most illustrious graduate should follow him; now they are both in the presence of the infinite light, and they both behold the King in His beauty!
