FOOTNOTES:
[19] "Duck-Puddle," the school bathing-place.
[20] A "Dringer" is composed of the following ingredients: a layer of strawberries is secreted in sugar and cream at the bottom of a clean jam-pot; and this receives a decent covering of strawberry ice, which brings the surface of the dringer and the top edge of the jam-pot into the same plane. The whole may be bought for sixpence. (P. C. T., 1905.)
[21] A "Bluer" is the blue-flannel jacket worn in the playing fields. It must be worn buttoned by boys who have been less than three years in the school.
[22] Small boys are not advised to copy John's tactics. The victory is not always to the weak.
[23] The house-cap, only worn by members of the House Cricket Eleven.
[24] Lying in bed in the morning when there is no First School is a "frowst." By a subtle law of association, an armchair is also a "frowst."
