"What--am I to fag ?" said I, undergoing another shock. I had made quite sure exhibitioners were exempt from that indignity. What did I tell you ?" said Tempest, in tones of mild menace; "you're putting it on again already. You'd better fish out that cane again, there's a good chap." "Oh, please don't--I didn't mean, Tempest! All right, I'll fag for him." Tempest regarded first me, then the cricket box where the cane lay, doubtfully. |
