Ha, ha!" And he went off to find his chums, who took him for a stroll in the Fields.
"Well, young 'un," said Dick, patronisingly, "getting used to it?
Worn your flannels lately ?" "You're a beastly cad, Dick," said Coote; "but you don't catch me like that again." "No, you're getting too knowing," said Georgie.
Coote laughed.
"I'm not quite as green as some fellows think," said he.

"A fellow came to me this morning and told me to go to the Doctor at 9:30.

A nice fool he thought he'd make of me.

Ha, ha!" "What fellow was he ?" said Dick, looking rather serious.
"I don't know his name," said Coote.

"The fellow who marked the names in chapel, I believe." "What, Swinstead?
Did he tell you to go ?" "Rather; and I told him I wasn't such a fool as I looked--I mean as he thought." "By Jove!--you young ass! You've got yourself into a mess, if you like." "How do you mean ?" inquired the new boy, beginning to be alarmed at the concerned looks of his two friends.
"Why, he's Chapel usher," said Dick.
