Tom, Dick and Harry

CHAPTER THREE
5/18

No one had the right to make him turn sneak--and no one should do it! "I'll go and pack," said he quietly, and turned to the door.
Neither the Dux nor I saw the last of poor Dicky Brown at Dangerfield.
We were otherwise engaged when he departed home in a four-wheeled cab in charge of Mr Ramsbottom that evening.

We were, in point of fact, in durance vile ourselves, with every prospect of speedily requiring the services of two more four-wheeled cabmen on our own accounts.
The Dux's fury at Dicky's summary expulsion had been quite a surprise even to me.
"It's a shame," he had shouted as the door closed; "a caddish shame!" "Who said that ?" asked Dr Plummer.
"I did.

I say it's a caddish shame!" "So do I!" yelled I at the top of my voice, and quite carried away by the occasion.
This was getting very embarrassing for Plummer.

Perhaps he behaved in the best way open to him under the circumstances.

He ignored us both, and proceeded to call up Faulkner to answer his precious questions.
Much depended on Faulkner then.
