Dick Prescott’s First Year at West Point

CHAPTER V
5/12

I'm going in for some of the swellest-fitting uniforms that any tailor around here can turn out." Greg, who had managed to breathe naturally for the last minute, now struggled with another of his purple-faced paroxysms.

That's the rule for all cadets here." "Do you mean to tell me that I've got to wear 'hand-me-downs' ?" demanded Bert Dodge angrily.

"Save that sort of stuff for fellows who'll believe it." It was plain that, if Bert Dodge had dropped in with any intention of being neighborly and from-home, he had rapidly forgotten his plan.
Neither Dick nor Greg had any reason for being fond of the fellow, even if he had once been a schoolmate at Gridley High School.
