With Kenrick the case was different. Charlie thought that he looked one of the nicest and best fellows in the house, but he could not get over the fact that Wilton was his favourite. It was Wilton's constant and daily boast that Ken would do anything for him; and Charlie felt that Wilton was not a boy whom Walter or Power at any rate would even have tolerated, much less liked.
There were indeed a few who were most anxious to silence him as quickly as possible, knowing what effect his words would be likely to produce; and when he began, they raised several noisy interruptions; but Kenrick, for very shame, was obliged at first to demand for him the attention which, after the first sentence or two, his quiet, conciliatory, and persuasive manner effectually secured.
Fox was returned for Parliament through her influence, and she is said to have procured more than one vote, by allowing the yeomanry of England to kiss her beautiful cheek. All are not able to do so much as Anthony Benezet and John Kenrick have done; but we can all do something.
The following distich is sufficient to show his malignancy, and to hold him up to execration: "By his own art, who justly died, A blund'ring, artless suicide: Share, earthworms, share, since now he's dead, His megrim, maggot-bitten head." This scurrilous epitaph produced a burst of public indignation that awed for a time even the infamous Kenrick into silence.
I do not seek this confidence; only if there is anything on your conscience of which my advice may help to relieve you, I do not forbid you to proceed, and I will give you what help I can." "I think it would relieve me, sir," said Kenrick; "I have no father; I have, I am sorry to say, no friend in the school to whom I could speak."
"His end shall be `pieces, as Punch says, if he deserves it." "He told me I was to be Mr Robertson's pupil," said Walter. "Hum-m!" observed Kenrick. "Why, what sort of a person is he?" "Some of his pups detest him, others adore him." "Why?" "Who's your tutor, then?" "Percival; there, the master who is chatting and laughing with those monitors. He's a regular brick.
Confess the truth." "Well, I believe he did say something of the kind," said Kenrick, laughing; "at least I know he called it Stygian and Tartarean. "Fancy if he had," said Walter, "how astonished we should have been down below. I say, Henderson, what would Paton have said?" "Oh!
Remember he's high in the fifth, and has been a distinguished fellow. Don't make too much of this one escapade." "All right. Thanks, Danvers," said Somers; and added aloud, in a less sarcastic tone "Come here, Kenrick; I merely wish to speak a word with you;" and then Danvers kindly but firmly took the boy's hand, and led him forward.
The document concluded, "We are therefore obliged, though with great and real reluctance, to take the unusual step of recording in the monitors' book this vote of censure against Kenrick, fourth monitor, for the bad example he has set and the great harm he has done, in at once betraying our interests and violating the first conditions on which he received his own authority: and we do this, not in a spirit of anger, but solely in the earnest and affectionate hope that this unanimous condemnation of his conduct by all his coadjutors may serve to recall him to a sense of his duty."
Poor worm, you don't understand me, you don't seem to have the capability of a high thought in you. I tell you that nothing you can say of me shall shake my purpose. I am going now." But before he could get his straw hat Wilton had clasped him by the knees, and in a voice of agony was beseeching him to relent. "It's all true, Kenrick; I am base, I know it; I have quenched all honour in me.
