"Do you, indeed?"
"I am responsible for all I do to Mr. Lowington. You will oblige me by not interfering with the discipline of the crew."

"This is infamous!" stormed Mr. Hamblin. "Am I to be snubbed by a boy, by one of my own pupils?"
"I have nothing more to say, Mr. Hamblin," continued Paul, bowing and moving away.
"Stop, you puppy!" roared Mr. Hamblin, following him, and speaking loud enough for all the officers to hear his offensive remark.
"Come, come, Mr. Hamblin, you are disgracing yourself," interposed Mr. Stoute.
"The puppy!" gasped Mr. Hamblin. "He insulted me!"
"Don't lower yourself in the eyes of your pupils by such undignified conduct."
