"Don't interrupt, Tertius. It was about forty miles beyond Mac's before I found him; and my men pointed out gently, but firmly, that the country was risin'. What kind o' country, Beetle? Well, I'm no word-painter, thank goodness, but you might call it a hellish country! When we weren't up to our necks in snow, we were rolling down the khud. 'Old, old story! We all legged it in search of Stalky.
"And how do we know," he shouted "how do we know how many of the Sixth are mixed up in this abominable affair?" "Yes, that's what we want to know," said McTurk, with simple dignity. "We meant to come to you about it quietly, Carson, but you would have the meeting," said Stalky sympathetically. The Sixth were too taken aback to reply.
We're the waits. We have come to inquire after the local Berserk. Is he doin' as well as can be expected in his new caree-ah? 'Better than you will, in a sec, Stalky, Mullins grunted. 'Glad of that. We thought he'd like to know that Paddy has been carried to the sick-house in ravin' delirium. They think it's concussion of the brain.
We must be virtuous." "Then I move we go to Mother Yeo's for a last gorge. We owe her about ten bob, and Mary'll weep sore when she knows we're leaving," said Beetle. "She gave me an awful wipe on the head last time Mary," said Stalky. "She does if you don't duck," said McTurk. "But she generally kisses one back. Let's try Mother Yeo."
Stalky asked, in his silkiest tones. "The best man alive absolutely. He lets you blow your own nose yourself. The people call him" Adam jerked out some heathen phrase "that means the Man with the Stone Eyes, you know." "I'm glad of that. Because I've heard from other quarters" Stalky's sentence burned like a slow match, but the explosion was not long delayed. "Other quarters!"
After that, I move we get back to Mac's camp and have something to eat." "You were commandin'?" the Infant suggested. "I was about three months senior to Stalky, and two months Tertius's senior," Dick Four replied. "But we were all from the same old Coll. I should say ours was the only little affair on record where some one wasn't jealous of some one else."
"If you've ever been in a tight place with Stalky you wouldn't ask." "I haven't seen him since the camp at Pindi in '87," I said. "He was goin' strong then about seven feet high and four feet through." "Adequate chap. Infernally adequate," said Tertius, pulling his mustache and staring into the fire. "Got dam' near court-martialed and broke in Egypt in '84," the Infant volunteered.
"He's in flannels!" Stalky buried his head again. "Unfortunately most unfortunately I have not one with me, but my name is King, sir, a house-master of the College, and you will find me prepared fully prepared to answer for this man's action. We've seen three " "Did ye see my notice-boards?" "I admit we did; but under the circumstances " "I stand in loco parentis."
'Not a bit of it, said Stalky cheerfully. 'He's a little shaken and excited. Probably Beetle annoyed him in the garage, but we must overlook that. We've contained him so far, and I'm going to nibble round his outposts at dinner. All you've got to do, Infant, is to remember you're a gentleman in your own house. Don't hop! You'll find it pretty difficult before dinner's over.
Urh!" "Oh, shut up, Stalky." "Not a bit of it. You're a gaudy lot of resolutionists, you are! You've made a sweet mess of it. Perhaps you'll have the decency to leave us alone next time." Here the house grew angry, and in many voices pointed out how this blunder would never have come to pass if Number Five study had helped them from the first.
