“Then,” said Steve, “you will stop this indignation meeting, will you?”

“No.”

“You won’t?”

“No.”

“That being the case, you must be in favor of it?”

“I shall have nothing to do with it. If my friends wish to get up such a meeting without my knowledge, I shall let them do as they like. It will show what they think of the manner in which I was treated yesterday.”

“And ruin your chance of getting back onto the team.”

“I believe I told you that I was not counting on getting back, that I do not care a cent whether I get back or not, that my only interest is to see Yale win.”

Frank got up and took the key out of his pocket. Then he walked over and unlocked the door.

“I have had my little say,” he grimly observed, satisfaction in his manner; “now you are at liberty to go when you like, Mr. Lorrimer.”
