“What cheer?” said he. “I say, have you seen a kid called Fisher minor? The new kid, you know, that we had a lark with at dinner on first-night.”
“Oh, that chap. Bless you, he messes in our study. What about him?”
“I want him. I want to say something to him.”
“I’ll tell him.”
“All right. He’s come and told you, has he? and you’re hiding him? Never mind; I’ll bowl him out, the beauty. I know all about that little game of yours, yesterday, you know!”
“What little game?”
“As if you didn’t know! Do you suppose I didn’t find five of ’em shut up here yesterday, being kept out of the way at Elections?”
“Yes; and do you suppose if it hadn’t been for me they’d have got into the Hall at all? Don’t be a beast, Percy, if you can help. They stayed here of their own accord. No one kept them in. I say, have some toffee?”
“Got any?”
“Rather. A new brew this morning. I say, you can have half of it.”
