THE HILLTOP BOYS
CHAPTER I
THE BEGINNING OF THE TERM
“I say, Art, let’s take a run down to the train. There will be sure to be some of the old fellows on it and perhaps some new ones.”
“Yes, for I heard the doctor tell Buck to have the coach and horses ready, as he expected several of the young gentlemen to come on the afternoon train. Why can’t we go down with Buck instead of going alone?”
“Because Mr. Bucephalus, called Buck for short, objects to doing any more work than he is obliged to. We can ride back with him. That is vastly preferable to pedaling up the hill.”
