Paul still stood before her, and, like herself, he seemed embarrassed. "There are men who would be delighted to hear even the little that has fallen from your lips in this trifling," he said, as soon as Mrs. Bloomfield was out of hearing.

He had not the slightest wish to modify his present habits; but he would not stand on that, since the recall of Mr. Bloomfield's allowance would revolutionise them still more radically. He had not the least desire to acquaint himself with law; he had looked into it already, and it seemed not to repay attention; but upon this also he was ready to give way.
"Hurrah! let's land and have a mill!" cried King. "I back you, Telson, old man." "Oh, I didn't mean to cheek you, Telson," said Lawkins, humbly. "I'll apologise, you know." "Jolly good job," said Telson, grandly, "or I'd have licked you." "All the same," said Lawkins, "old Bloomfield's "

It soon got to be known there was to be no second race, and, as usual, all sorts of stories accompanied the rumour. The enemies of the schoolhouse said openly that they had refused Bloomfield's demand for a new race, and intended to stick to their ill-gotten laurels in spite of everybody.
I won't report you this time, but you'd better take care what you do." This little incident made a remarkable impression, not only on the two boys immediately concerned, but on the school generally. For it soon got noised about, and no public proclamation could have made the state of Bloomfield's mind clearer.
"What a nice boy you are, to be sure! I suppose you've a bet on Parrett's, like me?" "No, I haven't," said Gilks, "but I want it to win all the same, because of Bloomfield. If Parrett's gets to the head of the river, there's all the better chance of getting Bloomfield for captain next term; and things would be far pleasanter then." "Yes.
