Those fellows on the omnibus evidently didn't know who I was.

To-morrow, when they found out, and saw me arm-in-arm with Tempest, they would be sorry for what they had done.
I confess that, as I walked up the steep street, and caught sight at last of the chimneys of the school peeping up over the trees, I half wished myself back at home with my mother.

I hadn't expected to feel so lonely.

I had indeed looked forward to a little pardonable triumph in being recognised at once as the fellow who had taken the entrance exhibition, and who evidently knew what was what.

Of course it was foolish, I told myself, to expect such a thing.
