CHAPTER XXIII.
THE PLOT AGAINST FLETCHER.
The intimacy between Harry and Oscar Vincent continued, and, as during the former term, the latter volunteered to continue giving French lessons to our hero.

These were now partly of a conversational character, and, as Harry was thoroughly in earnest, it was not long before he was able to speak quite creditably.
About the first of November, Fitzgerald Fletcher left the Prescott Academy, and returned to his home in Boston.

It was not because he had finished his education, but because he felt that he was not appreciated by his fellow-students.

He had been ambitious to be elected to an official position in the Clionian Society, but his aspirations were not gratified.

He might have accepted this disappointment, and borne it as well as he could, had it not been aggravated by the elevation of Harry Walton to the presidency.
