War!" said McTurk, jerking his head toward the wall, where hung a small wooden West-African war-drum, a gift to McTurk from a naval uncle. "Then we shall be turned out of the study again," said Beetle, who loved his flesh-pots. "Mason turned us out for just warbling on it." Mason was the mathematical master who had testified in Common-room. "Warbling? O Lord!" said Abanazar.
Carlton was giving a dinner in Common-Room; it would soon be over." Charles determined to wait for him. The servant lighted candles in the inner room, and Charles sat down at the fire. For awhile he sat in reflection; then he looked about for something to occupy him. His eye caught an Oxford paper; it was but a few days old.
O'Toole passed through a door at the bottom of the staircase into the common-room of the inn. Wogan gently opened the big doors and dragged the carriage out into the road. Gaydon with the horses galloped silently up through the snow, and together the two men feverishly harnessed them to the carriage. There were six for the carriage, and a seventh for O'Toole to ride.
Number off from the right" and so forth, till the entry of the Head and the masters ended all demonstrations. "One good job the Common-room hate this as much as we do. Watch King wrigglin' to get out of the draft." "Where's the Raymondiferous Martin? Punctuality, my beloved 'earers, is the image o' war " "Shut up. Here's the giddy Dook. Golly, what a dewlap!" Mr.
Foxy faithfully worked some deep Devon lanes behind a lonely cross-roads inn; and it was curious that Prout and King, members of Common-room seldom friendly, walked together in the same direction that is to say, northeast. Now, the Pleasant Isle of Aves lay due southwest. "They're deep day-vilish deep," said Stalky. "Why are they drawin' those covers?" "Me," said Beetle sweetly.
We have more than once played doll's tea-parties to please them. Well, when the game was over we were panting like dogs on the hearthrug in front of the common-room fire, and H.O. said "I wish Albert's uncle had been here; he does enjoy it so." Oswald has sometimes thought Albert's uncle only played to please us. But H.O. may be right. "I wonder if they often play it in Rome," H.O. went on.
Among the more unusual was the "C.M.," a Brahmin from India, a priest in his youth, who had been brought back to England by some society to be educated in medical missionary work, but whom for some reason they had dropped. For a short time a clever young Russian of Hebrew extraction who was studying for the Church helped to render our common-room social engagements almost international affairs.
He hung about the hospital common-room. The summer heat surging up from the burning pavements stagnated between the faded walls. He could not touch the food that he had brought with him. He was faint and sick, and the long table at which he sat, with its white blur of newspapers, rose and fell as though it were floating on an oily sea. But he held out.
That he may have leisure and means to pursue his darling studies, he absents himself for a while, and accepts a richly-remunerative post in the East. As learned a man may live in a cottage or a college common-room; but it always seemed to me that ample means and recognized rank were Macaulay's as of right. Years ago there was a wretched outcry raised because Mr.
In the common-room, he sipped his port uneasily, listening as in a daze to the discussion on Free Will, which an eminent stranger had stirred up. How academic it seemed, compared with the passionate realities of life. But somehow he found himself lingering on at the academic discussion, postponing the realities of life.
