"You'll catch something else, though, when you go home."
"Will I?"
"I'm afraid you will."
"Who says I will?"
"Didn't you tell me you were 'hooking jack'?"
"Who is going to know anything about it?"
"The master will know you are absent."
"I shall tell him my mother sent me over to the village on an errand."
"I never knew a fellow to 'hook jack,' yet, without getting found out."
