Do you know the school ?" "No.
What's the name of the house ?" "Oh, Galloway House, in Ebor Road.
It wasn't so bad when Fison was there," continued the open-hearted Freddy; "but now he's gone. Trimble's a cad." "We hate her," chimed in the original Teddy. "We hope the new master will be like Fison, but I don't believe Trimble can get any one to come," said Freddy. Jeffreys pricked up his ears and asked a good many questions about the school, which the youthful pair readily and gaily replied to, and then suggested that if Trimble was such a cad the boys had better not be late. "Have some parliament cake ?" said Freddy, opening his satchel and producing a large square of crisp gingerbread. Jeffreys had not the heart to refuse a little piece of this delicacy, and enjoyed it more than the most sumptuous meal in an hotel.
Teddy also insisted on his taking a bite out of his apple. "Good-bye," said the little fellow, putting up his face in the most natural manner for a kiss.
Jeffreys felt quite staggered by this unexpected attention, but recovered his presence of mind enough to do what was expected of him.
