You've no message about the cheats who kept our men out, have you?
Probably they've been promoted to prefects!" "You took care not to commit yourself to any names; but, as you wrote to Fisher major, you probably include him as one of the cheats.

If so, I dare say he'll be glad to discuss the matter with you outside." "I never said it was he," said Dangle hurriedly.
"But I know who it was." "Three of our juniors, I understand ?" said Yorke.

"The fags of three of your prefects, yes." "Fisher," said the captain, "will you fetch Ashby, D'Arcy, and Fisher minor here ?" The young gentlemen in question were not far away busily engaged in their joint study, with Wally's assistance, in getting up a stock of impositions, which should serve as a common fund on which to draw daring the term.
The idea was D'Arcy's.
"You see," he had said, "we're bound to catch it, some of as, and it's a jolly fag having to do the lines just when they're wanted.

My notion is, if we just keep a little stock by us, it'll be awfully handy.

Why, suppose young Ashby were to get fifty lines at morning school next Saturday, what about his chance of getting into the 58th fifteen ?" "It's the 6th fifteen, not the 58th," said Ashby.
"Well, there's not much difference." "It would be jolly awkward," said Ashby.
"Yes; and you always do get potted just when it is jolliest awkward," said D'Arcy.
