"Gated for three weeks," I answered; "I suppose I ought to consider myself lucky, he might have sent me down." "It knocks all your fun on the head," he said, "being in by nine o'clock every night is average rot." "It won't matter to me, I am going to settle down and read for a first in Mods," and I turned into the common room and picked up The Sportsman.
I believe the dons held a meeting about Jack and me, for The Bradder told us there was a great difference of opinion about the sort of men we were. I tried to get more out of him, but failed. However, we got off lightly, for Jack was only gated for a week, while I was given a lecture by the Subby, and had a week added to my term of imprisonment.
Cursed be the moment, cursed the place, in which I yield myself happy in your loss!" He hurried away through the thicket, and came to a stream flowing with the volume of a river between banks of masonry, broken at intervals by gated sluiceways. A bridge carried the path he was traversing across the stream; and, standing upon it, he saw other bridges, no two of them alike.
If they had been gated for two years it wouldn't give me any satisfaction." "But they had been mixing all kinds of drink." "And the Subby thinks I had," I said. "But you hadn't." "No, but that doesn't make any difference. The Subby may be a fair ass, but I caught hold of him, and I must be a bigger fool than he is. It's the last time I ever try to rescue a don."
"A little change is what we want," Jack went on, as I said nothing. "I can't do much," I answered; "I'm gated and you have got to row." "I've got a day off to-morrow; the stroke of my boat has to go to town and bow's ill." "Why not have a day's hunting?" I asked.
He loved his little porringer, which is to say that he ate a good deal; and he loved to read books, which is not to say that he loved study; he hated getting out of bed, and he was constantly gated for morning chapel. More than once he had sweetly gone to sleep over his examination papers.
Dennison said he was bored to death, and I told him Richmond never were any good outside the scrum and were playing a jolly good game. He answered that he was not a Football Encyclopaedia, and I assured him that he never could be anything half so useful. We kept up this kind of conversation for some time, while Ward stamped his feet and asked us to stop. "How long have you been gated for?"
Several other men, including Dennison, were gated for a fortnight, and I had great difficulty in keeping Jack from going to the Subby, to ask him if he would not do something to him.
They were all fenced and gated; but the gates were only shut, not locked. This was fortunate; for they were new five-barred gates, and a lady does not like getting over these, even in solitude. Her clothes are not adapted. There were sheep in some of these, cows in others, and the pastures wonderfully green and rich, being always well manured, and fed down by cattle.
At the bottom, a lateral channel or race, running at right angles to the troughs, conducts the waste water in a rapid, bubbling stream down into the feeding-pond, which covers the space of about one-fifth of an acre, close to the river, with which it is connected by a narrow race gated also with a wire-cloth, to prevent the little living mites from being carried off before their time.
