"And I am one of them," said Mansell. "I've had a damned good term so far, and next term, when I get that big study, I shall have a still finer time. School may be bad as a moral training, but I live to enjoy myself. Here's to the Public School system. Long may it live!" Betteridge smiled rather sadly; he was not an athlete. The summer exams turned out a lamentably dull affair.
Mansell repeat her special invitation to Mr. Frost Dynevor with double cordiality. 'If you must play practical jokes, said James, as they watched the carriage drive off, 'I wish you would choose better moments for them. 'I thought you would be more in character as a merman brave, said Louis. 'I wonder what character you thought you appeared in?
The head-money was only paid for three hundred men; but there was no doubt that three hundred and twenty-one were on board at the commencement of the action, as many of the slain were thrown overboard, and the French officers, for obvious reasons, wished to make their force less than it was. According to Captains Tancock and Mansell, forty men were killed, and eighty wounded.
From the courts came sounds of barge football. He did not feel as if he wanted to go and discuss everything with Mansell for a minute or so. Slowly he wandered round the shrubbery, past the big school, past the new buildings into the Abbey courtyard. He sat down on a seat and tried to think. A girl came and sat beside him and smiled at him invitingly. He took no notice.
After five minutes Mansell returns, blowing his nose vigorously in his silk handkerchief of many colours, for Mansell is by way of being a nut. The book is under his coat. He sits down. Fleming fixes him with a stony glare a long pause. "Mansell, take that book from under your coat." Reluctantly the miscreant does so. The dream of a Second's cap vanishes. "Conjurer!"
For a full three minutes Trundle was utterly, gorgeously prostrate with coughing and sneezing. Mansell was very sympathetic. "Have you a cold, sir? I hope it's nothing serious, sir. I find the east wind a little trying myself. Do you ever use Fletcher's cough lozenges? Very efficacious, sir," he babbled on. At last Trundle recovered his wind if not his temper. He glowered at the form.
Of course conditions have so changed that it would be no reflection on the School House " "The Bull" went on. Gordon sat forward on the sofa listening subconsciously. Scenes rose before his mind. Of Mansell two years back, after Richard's Thirds, saying: "Wait till 1915." Of Hazelton in the dormitory saying: "Our day's coming, and you'll see it, Caruthers."
The vessel was now beyond the farthest point of land that had been discovered at the time of which I am writing, and already one or two of the headlands had been named by Captain Harvey and marked on his chart. "I don't like to see pancake-ice so early in the season," remarked the captain to Mr Mansell. "No more do I, sir," answered the mate. "This would be a bad place to winter in, I fear."
But Claremont was getting old. At any rate for the rest of the exams. Mansell relied entirely on his notes. The Greek translation paper, however, was more than he could do. Promotion did not count on a set subject, but only on English and Latin; so Greek had gone by the board.
Meredith came down to see what was going on. "Ah, 'some' party! Well, Mansell, got over your beating yet?" There was subdued laughter. "I say, Meredith, have A-K the slightest chance of beating us on Thursday?" Lovelace was captain of L-Z Junior, and had laid rather heavily on a victory. "Of course not, my good man, I'm going to umpire." This time the laughter was not subdued.
