"First of all, you're seen by a witness entering the study, where, no doubt, the exam papers were spread out on the table, and then you come to school primed with the questions. There isn't a shadow of doubt." "Wait a minute!" said Mavis, rising with a very white face. "To begin with, you've got to prove that it was Merle. One witness isn't enough." "Catie and Peggie saw her down the drive.
"Well, drive on," said Cripps, enjoying the boy's confusion, and proud of his own sharpness. "The fact is I was going to tell you, Cripps, I was really; there's been something wrong about this exam. One of the fellows stole one of the papers, and so got the scholarship unfairly." "And I can make a pretty good guess," said Mr Cripps, with a grin, "which of the fellows that gentleman was."
A young Englishman beside me is overhauling Madras B. A. Exam, papers, and works hard, so that he may have a clear holiday in Burmah. He hands me some of the papers to read, essays on Edwin Harrison's "Life of Ruskin."
"I don't think I'd want it," he said, "at least not in a city, and I'm going to do the manufacturing work, of course, in a city." "Where are you going to be?" asked Hamilton. "I took the exam in 'Frisco," the older boy replied; "that's my home town, and I expect to work out there." "That's quite a walk from here!" exclaimed Hamilton.
"Supposing that I get through it, what am I to do then?" "You must do the best you can. This Senior Cambridge Exam, they tell me, is a door to any of the professions." "But you want money to enter a profession, sir. From what I hear we have none." "Your hearing has not played you false in that direction. What I had you managed to spend, among you.
But presently hope took the place of despair among the pupils. He was going to coach up and pass a special exam the day before the game. Professor Ludlow was to help him with his modern languages and Remsen with his mathematics, while Digbee, that confirmed old grind, had offered to coach him on Greek.
I'd thought of the exam., of course. You'll have to-morrow to recover. It'll do you all the good in the world. And you know you're more than ready for the thing. You don't want to be overtrained, my son. Besides, you'll sail through it. As for 'can't, 'can't' be damned. You've got to." A telegraph boy, after hesitating at the empty cubicle, came straight into the room. "Name of Cannon?"
I couldn't see it, but he read it out aloud, and I had no doubt it was actually the thing. I was so grateful I actually felt happy. But then came the discovery of that miserable exam paper. I must have left it in my Juvenal last September, and forgotten all about it. I was certain the Doctor knew quite well I was the thief, but I denied it and tried feebly to put it on you.
I could not see that in either case Holmes had come upon the clue for which he was searching. Only at the third did our visit prove abortive. The outer door would not open to our knock, and nothing more substantial than a torrent of bad language came from behind it. "I don't care who you are. You can go to blazes!" roared the angry voice. "To-morrow's the exam, and I won't be drawn by anyone."
The most likely to survive in ordinary speech is perhaps exam. Yet we have numbers of short words which have now become the ordinary names for certain articles, and yet which are only short forms of the original names of those articles.
