"Belding?" ejaculated Kingdon. "Did you go to Belding?"
"I went and then I came away again," laughed Pence with that unpleasant curl of his lip. "Didn't stay long."
"Why not?"
"I rather think my absence was requested because of something regarding a calf being led into chapel and tied in the pulpit. Had a kind of a weak-voiced chaplain and the calf helped him out in bellowing."
"Boys will be boys," Kingdon said sadly, "and calves will be calves. Sometimes it's hard for the faculty to tell 'em apart."
Pence's eyes twinkled with appreciation. "At least, they didn't make the mistake of rusticating the calf instead of me."
"After that?" quizzed Rex.
"After what?"
"Belding wasn't your last school? Where do you go now?"
"I've finished school. Nothing to it," yawned Pence.
