“Oh, you, Dunk!”
“Stick out your noodle, Chamber!”
“Where are you?”
These were the cries that greeted Andy as he entered the passage leading to his room in Wright Hall—the room he was to share with Duncan Chamber. Down the hall he saw a group of lads who had evidently come to rouse Andy’s prospective chum. Somehow, our hero felt a little hurt that he had to share his friend with others. But it was only momentarily.
“Open up there, Dunk! Open up!”
Thus came the appeal, and fists banged on the door. It was opened a crack, and the rattle of a chain was heard.
“Get on to the beggar!”
“He must think we’re a bunch of sophs!”
“Don’t be afraid, Dunky, we’re only your sweethearts!”
Thus the three callers gibed him.
