37254	Aunt,said Miss Stanley,"whom do you think I''ve found in the forest?"
37254	Boasted? 37254 But do n''t the boys-- the fags-- complain to the authorities about such ill- usage?"
37254	But do n''t you know that it''s only about one in twenty who go to the Academy who are clever enough for the Engineers? 37254 But is every new boy treated as I am?"
37254	But,I said,"abroad you must have seen far more beautiful views than this?"
37254	By hawk,said Stanley,"do you mean the` Tinnunculus alaudarius''or the` Accipiter Nisus''?"
37254	Castle Malwood; and it''s well known about here by that name?
37254	Did n''t you kick Shepard?
37254	Do n''t know any Euclid? 37254 Do n''t you wish you may get it?"

37254	If I were to ask one of these chawbacon foresters to show me where Castle Malwood was, he would point out that place, eh?
37254	Indeed?
37254	Is there?
37254	It serves him quite right for humbugging as he does?
37254	Look how splendidly they march?
37254	May I ask who taught you your Euclid?
37254	Mr Holms, I believe?
37254	Mr Shepard,said the civilian,"will you tell us what the 20th proposition of the first book of Euclid treats of?"
37254	Not a gun? 37254 Nothing like a cold bath to set a fellow right when he''s screwed?"
37254	Now for it, Horsford?
37254	Now it''s my turn?
37254	Now then, sir,said the head of the dinner- squad,"how much longer are you going to stare about before you peel the potatoes?"
37254	Now where''s Fraser?
37254	Now you come here?
37254	Now, sir, will you commence?
37254	O moon?
37254	Oh, that''s your house, is it? 37254 Oh, you have, have you?
37254	Out with it again?
37254	Surely you are not Helen Stanley,I said,"who used to sing to me at General Holloway''s?"
37254	That''s not my basin?
37254	The question now is,said my father,"do you think you can qualify him for the next examination?"
37254	Then that thing is n''t a gun?
37254	Then why did you tell me that you could do rule- of- three? 37254 Then you mean to assert that a Jew ca n''t be a gentleman?
37254	There''s Marsden again?
37254	Tutor at home, I suppose?
37254	Was that the time by Charlton''s clock?
37254	Well, Mr Monk,said Hostler, bustling into the room,"I hope Shepard is well up in his algebra?"

37254	Well, what''s the time?
37254	What am I to do?

37254	What''s your name, new boy?
37254	What, Shepard? 37254 What?"
37254	Where have you come from?
37254	Where is Fraser,I inquired,"and Fuller, and all those fellows that came up?"
37254	Where is my basin? 37254 Where is your basin?"
37254	Who is backing Shepard?
37254	Who is she?
37254	Who is that officer?
37254	Who is the neux?
37254	Who teaches you, then?
37254	Why do n''t you get off that stile,said Baldock,"when you see people coming?"
37254	Why not?
37254	Why, do n''t you remember Mr Shepard?
37254	Why, you do n''t expect you''ve a chance, do you?
37254	Why, you''ve been here all day, and do you mean to say you do n''t know which 16 is yet? 37254 You are fond of that, are you?
37254	You do n''t mean to tell me you ca n''t see where the basin is to go?
37254	You do n''t remember me, Mr Shepard?
37254	You do n''t think I''m such a dirty brute as to wash in another man''s basin? 37254 You see you''re caught?"
37254	You''re cheeky, are you?
37254	You''re going to be an engineer, are n''t you?
37254	You''ve never been at a boarding- school before?
37254	And how do you like the shop?"
37254	And what''s your governor?"
37254	Are the boys doing well?"
37254	Are you good at Euclid?"
37254	At that instant Mr Hostler came into the room and said,--"Well, Mr Walkwell, how are you?
37254	But why have you not been over to see us?"
37254	Can I?"
37254	Can we drive you anywhere?"
37254	Come along sharp, sir; do n''t lounge like that?"
37254	Did n''t I order you to call me at five o''clock?
37254	Do n''t the authorities interfere?"
37254	Do n''t you mean to try?"
37254	Do n''t you see our basins are round here?"
37254	Do n''t you see the muzzle is pointing at you?"
37254	Do you know your multiplication table?"
37254	Do you understand that?"
37254	Does he not know I can come again if I want more?
37254	Fraser waited for us to join him, and then said,"How are you, Shepard?
37254	Have you done as well in the others?"
37254	He does n''t look much of a fellow, does he?"
37254	He immediately came to where I was sitting, and said,--"What''s the matter?
37254	He would have been made into a capital fellow by a little course of fagging when he was a youngster?"
37254	Here comes Brag?"
37254	How are you?"
37254	How far have you gone in mathematics?"
37254	I asked myself, and had I to go through such scenes for a year before I became an engineer officer, or even a cadet?
37254	I hesitated a moment and then made a wild rush at it, and said,"One hundred and twenty- one?"
37254	I instantly thought of Howard; might he not help me?
37254	I knew you''d pass?"
37254	I was bound to believe you, and did what I thought was best for you to save you from being seen in the state you were by the officer?"
37254	I was looking on at this, and watching for a chance of a kick, when I heard one old cadet call out to another,--"There''s going to be a race soon?"
37254	I was so taken aback by this remark that I said,"Who told you so?"
37254	I''m so glad you''re a cadet?"
37254	If I see you locking round again I''ll put you in arrest?"
37254	Is he in?"
37254	Is n''t he likely to get them?"
37254	Is your governor at home?"
37254	It suddenly occurred to me,"Suppose I broke down here?"
37254	Mr Hostler turned his hawk- like eyes on me and said,"You do n''t look well: are you ill?"
37254	New boy, you can draw?"
37254	No, I ca n''t say you were not screwed; you looked like being so, and you said you were?"
37254	Now get my basin filled with water?"
37254	Now where''s the last- joined neux, Shepard?
37254	Now, get onto the top of that uppermost stool?"
37254	Now, you just learn three more definitions for your cheek, you young puppy?"
37254	On the words,"Are you ready?"
37254	One evening, when Brag was in a good temper, I said,"Who do you think the fastest runner in the Academy?"
37254	Shepard?"
37254	Suddenly the door opened, and Hostler appeared and said,"Now, Shepard, do you know your definitions?"
37254	The person addressed was a hard- featured man, with a surly look about him, who, handing me a book, said,--"What do you know?"
37254	Then, have you interest to get a nomination for Woolwich?"
37254	There was something pleasing to me in this idea, for I then discovered that I had ambition-- and what is a boy or a man without?
37254	This is the way you shirk, is it?"
37254	Two boys left their seats and went to the master, who took their books from them and inquired,"What proposition?"
37254	Was all this real?
37254	What age are you?"
37254	What do you mean by shying a book at me?"
37254	What do you mean by telling lies about me?"
37254	What do you mean?
37254	What is it?"
37254	What''s he been doing, Mr Monk?"
37254	What''s the matter, and what are you doing here?"
37254	What''s the matter?"
37254	What''s your name?"
37254	Who do you think gave me lessons?"
37254	Who told you to come to Foxey?"
37254	Why, go and find it, and look sharp, or I will give you a licking?"
37254	Why, how old are you?"
37254	Why, what a disbelieving young Jew you are?"
37254	Will you have some lunch, Shepard?"
37254	Without a moment''s hesitation he said,"How do you do, Mr Shepard?
37254	You are quite certain,"said D''Arcy,"that everything occurred as you told me?"
37254	You do n''t mean to say you told a lie?
37254	You remember that, do n''t you?"
37254	You thought I was asleep, eh?
37254	You''ll be in arrest, sir, till further orders?"
37254	You''ve only your definitions to learn; ca n''t you understand them?"
37254	and that we are all a pack of fools?
37254	and you''re going to be an engineer?"
37254	aunt, ca n''t you guess?
37254	back again?"
37254	exclaimed Mr Monk,"you''re a nice young fellow; what are you at?"
37254	he continued,"have you made out that ode to the moon yet?
37254	here''s your old antagonist, Shepard?"
37254	in trouble again?"
37254	in trouble already?
37254	is it possible that little Bob Shepard has in two years grown up to be you?
37254	is n''t this capital?
37254	said Forester;"when you told me you were beastly screwed on guv''nor''s gooseberry-- champagne, I mean?
37254	said one of them,"you do n''t mean to say you are going to try the examination?
37254	said the colonel,` what does that young fellow mean by sending me this mass of food?
37254	then take that?"
37254	what are you about?"
37254	what''s that?
37254	who are you?"
12807	After what he did to you?
12807	All from our class, too, are n''t they?
12807	Always modest, are n''t you?
12807	And how is everyone at home? 12807 And how soon, Laura--- sweetheart?"
12807	And if we, who know his old tricks, ca n''t fathom him at all, what are the other seven of us going to do?
12807	And yet you are found outside of camp limits? 12807 And you can give us no explanation whatever of how you came to report Jordan for being beyond the camp limits?"
12807	And you send him your love, do n''t you, Laura?
12807	And you think you did it slickly, I suppose?
12807	And--- and--- is that what has scared you?
12807	Any idea what arm of the service you''re going to choose?
12807	Any liking for heavy artillery?
12807	Any show just at present?
12807	Are n''t they going to have supper at the mess?
12807	Are n''t you anxious to hear the news, old ramrod?
12807	Are n''t you unusually silent, Dick?
12807	Are you engaged, old fellow?
12807	Are you sick?
12807	Are you trying to defend the fellow?
12807	Are you waiting for anyone, sir?
12807	Battery, eh?
12807	But Dick and Laura?
12807	But I wrote my father, and he said he was near bankruptcy-----"Near bankruptcy?
12807	But how about Laura? 12807 But how?"
12807	But what was the cause of it all?
12807	But will he--- when I get through with him?
12807	But you do n''t know the subject of the meeting?
12807	But you wo n''t blab, and have him kicked out?
12807	By the way, you remember Darrin and Dalzell, who helped the Navy team to wipe the field up with us last year?
12807	Call him out for reporting you?
12807	Can you doubt it?
12807	Can you play ball as well as Holmesy?
12807	Captain Steele''s daughter?
12807	Class meeting?
12807	Come out all right?
12807	Come over to practice this afternoon, wo n''t you?
12807	Dad could n''t come, I''m afraid?
12807	Daughter of one of the instructors in drawing?
12807	Dave, you do n''t expect Danny to believe that, do you?
12807	Dick, can nothing change your mind?
12807	Dick, do you think either of the girls would go back on you, just because a lot of raw, half- baked cadets have got you sized up wrong? 12807 Did n''t you know that?"
12807	Did the young lady recover?
12807	Did they do it?
12807	Did you hear that, old man?
12807	Do n''t you wish you knew?
12807	Do you consider yourself called upon to be a judge of your classmates?
12807	Do you feel, in your own soul, that you have done anything to discredit the splendid old gray uniform that you wear?
12807	Do you place your friendship for Prescott above the dignity and honor of the class?
12807	Do you suppose I care to go on, old chum, if you do n''t?
12807	Do you think I''m going to be in satisfactory shape, sir?
12807	Does she mean that she expects to cut the Army after this year? 12807 Does the yardstick general win out?"
12807	Done it?
12807	Durville, man--- you--- don''t believe I did this for--- for revenge?
12807	Fit to stay in the box, old ramrod?
12807	Go to a diamond try- out?
12807	Going to run a light?
12807	Going to the hop to- night, old ramrod?
12807	Going?
12807	Got any more like that, Prescott?
12807	Great Scott, what did that mean?
12807	Greg, you explain, wo n''t you? 12807 Greg, you send Dave Darrin a short note for me, will you?"
12807	Have you any additional explanation or excuse for being outside the company street?
12807	Have you anything to say, Jordan?
12807	Have you brought me some of that money you owe me?
12807	Have you felt obliged to refuse them any information for which a class committee had asked, Prescott?
12807	Have you no thought for me?
12807	Hoodoos?
12807	How about you, then?
12807	How did that happen?
12807	How did the old affair ever come out between Dick and Laura Bentley?
12807	How did you manage to do it?
12807	How does Dick take that?
12807	How much time have we to spare?
12807	How soon do you go?
12807	How''s the cold lamb, Durville?
12807	I do n''t know whether you fellows believe in hoodoos?
12807	I do n''t quite know how to answer that, Mr. Denton,"Have you done anything that you would n''t repeat if the need arose?
12807	I suppose I''ll have a few loyal friends at that meeting?
12807	I wonder how he''ll be feeling at midnight, down in cadet hospital, when the surgeons tell him he has no chance of ever being a sound man again? 12807 I wonder if I do wrong to think him the noblest of them all?"
12807	I wonder really if he ever will marry?
12807	I wonder what the fellows will do at the meeting next Monday night?
12807	Is n''t that saying a good deal, sir?
12807	Is that all we wish to ask, gentlemen?
12807	Is that all?
12807	Is there any possible way of making as thickheaded or stubborn a fellow as Prescott realize that he simply ca n''t go on with us? 12807 Is this''silence''going to affect Dick very much in his career in the Army?"
12807	Jordan, has the sun been affecting your head this forenoon?
12807	Jordan, old fellow, you do n''t mean that you''d call a cadet out for reporting you officially? 12807 Let me see; this is the fourteenth girl you''ve been engaged to marry, is n''t it?"
12807	Love it?
12807	May I now make a motion, sir?
12807	May a man of spirit forgive his enemy, especially when he sometimes doubts whether the other fellow really is an enemy?
12807	May we come in?
12807	Me? 12807 Mr. Armstrong,"asked the commandant,"how much is there in this report against Mr. Jordan this morning?
12807	Mr. Prescott, are n''t you wholly satisfied with your conduct?
12807	Mr. Prescott,he demanded,"do you realize what you are saying--- what you are doing?"
12807	Nine?
12807	Not the engineers?
12807	Now what do you mean?
12807	Now, gentlemen, is there any further business to come before the class?
12807	Now, good old Carter, ca n''t you?
12807	Now, what does she mean by that last statement?
12807	Now, whom did Jordan seek with an implement like this? 12807 Objection, Dick?"
12807	Oh, are you one of that fellow''s admirers?
12807	Oh, is that all?
12807	Oh, that you, Jordan?
12807	Oh, then you''re not going to have supper at cadet mess?
12807	Oh, you''re better than the Navy battery, are n''t you, old ramrod?
12807	Pay up like a man?
12807	Practical?
12807	Prescott is turning coward, then, is he?
12807	Prescott''s--- girl?
12807	Prescott,asked the officer abruptly,"you have been sent to Coventry, have n''t you?
12807	Say,muttered Cadet Holmes, staring soberly at his chum,"an officer like Lieutenant Denton can put a different look on things, ca n''t be?"
12807	See anything of them anywhere?
12807	See here, sir,demanded Atterbury, striding straight up to the stoop- shouldered, bewhiskered one,"your name is Jordan, is n''t it?"
12807	Shall I tell you what I think of you for reporting me?
12807	Slick?
12807	So wo n''t you take part in the meeting?
12807	Some report this morning, eh?
12807	Still engaged, Holmesy?
12807	That''s the old rule here, is n''t it? 12807 Then I wonder why some one does n''t find it?"
12807	Then a permanent silence has n''t been imposed?
12807	Then has there been further action taken?
12807	Then how can you stand for a bootlick?
12807	Then what becomes of what you owe me?
12807	Then whom do you represent?
12807	Then you do n''t think we can stop Prescott?
12807	Then you still love the service?
12807	Then you''re--- pardon me--- you''re engaged to the young lady, of course?
12807	Then,asked Durville bluntly,"how did you, who were not the cadet officer of the day, happen to be where you could catch Mr. Jordan so neatly?"
12807	Well, as you ca n''t take the girls to the hop, with any regard for their comfort, my plan is best of all, is n''t it?
12807	Well, confound it, it is n''t my fault, is it?
12807	Well, my good fellow, have I kept you waiting long?
12807	Well,demanded Greg thoughtfully,"why do you need to take her to the hop?"
12807	What about them as ball players? 12807 What are you doing in here, sir?"
12807	What are you going to do?
12807	What are you talking about, old ramrod? 12807 What do you mean?"
12807	What do you mean?
12807	What have you done with that resignation of yours?
12807	What is it? 12807 What kind of a ball do you like best, Durry?"
12807	What kind of paper is it?
12807	What part of it was clever, anyway?
12807	What positions do you two feel that you would be at your best in?
12807	What shall it be?
12807	What was last night''s meeting held for?
12807	What was the trick, then?
12807	What''s that?
12807	What''s the matter?
12807	What''s the matter?
12807	What''s up?
12807	What?
12807	What?
12807	What?
12807	What?
12807	What?
12807	When we were plebes, who stood up most staunchly as our class champion? 12807 When will that day come?"
12807	Who gets the report?
12807	Who is that fellow?
12807	Who says we''re going down in defeat?
12807	Who would n''t, when the dear old fellow is in such a scrape? 12807 Who''d carry the tale that I did call Prescott out?"
12807	Who''s there?
12807	Who''s there?
12807	Whom has that fellow a grouch against?
12807	Why could n''t Dick remain and tell us himself? 12807 Why did you report me this morning?"
12807	Why not, Denton?
12807	Why, Jordan, you--- you see-----"Who is Miss Bentley?
12807	Why, mother?
12807	Why, what''s the matter with you now?
12807	Will Mr. Fullerton please take the chair?
12807	Will my name ever be there, or have any chance to be there?
12807	Will nothing ever drive that living disgrace Prescott out of the corps?
12807	Wo n''t I, though?
12807	Ye gods of war,gasped Douglass,"what sort of weapon is this for a former gentleman to carry?"
12807	Yes; come in, wo n''t you?
12807	Yes? 12807 Yes?"
12807	Yes?
12807	Yes?
12807	Yet, of course, they are bound by the majority action?
12807	You did not know that Greg had invited me to the graduation ball, did you?
12807	You do n''t happen to know her, do you?
12807	You do n''t see far, do you? 12807 You have finished your official business?"
12807	You know them?
12807	You think our battery pair better than the Navy''s, then?
12807	You youngsters are through here, after not so many more days, are n''t you?
12807	You''re dragging a femme to the hop tonight?
12807	You''re ideas moving slowly?
12807	You''ve been listening to our talk?
12807	You--- you did n''t try to call him out, did you?
12807	Your cousin? 12807 A cadet?
12807	And I''ll deliver the message of love from you both--- and from Mrs. Bentley, too?"
12807	And Jordan?
12807	And now-----""Yes?"
12807	And you have been at the Annapolis graduation, too?"
12807	And you''ll all excuse me, wo n''t you, while I hurry away to tog for dress parade?"
12807	And you?"
12807	And, especially, such a friend as Laura Bentley?
12807	Armstrong?"
12807	Bring him around with you, wo n''t you?"
12807	But is Laura coming to that hop?"
12807	But what beyond that?
12807	But what can we do?
12807	But you''ll come, wo n''t you, Laura?
12807	But you''ll hold yourself ready, anyway, wo n''t you?"
12807	But, after all, what is it to beat every other college, and then have to go down before the Navy in defeat at the end?"
12807	But--- won''t you sit down?"
12807	CHAPTER XIII THE FIGURES IN THE DARK And Dick?
12807	Ca n''t you be more explicit?"
12807	Ca n''t you do it on the diamond, too?"
12807	Ca n''t you guess what the meeting is to discuss?"
12807	Can we beg Prescott to stay, and face the cold shoulder, suh, all the time he is here, and in the Army afterwards?"
12807	Can you spare us a little time?"
12807	Dick is to retain the presidency of his class?"
12807	Dick, do you mind your mother asking you a question?
12807	Did Laura look at you with anything but sympathy in her eyes?"
12807	Did n''t you know Miss Bentley was Prescott''s girl?"
12807	Do n''t you feel wholly convinced that your class has done you an injustice which it would reverse instantly if it knew all the circumstances?"
12807	Do that pair play ball the way they do football?"
12807	Do you suppose it''s you, or the hop, that Laura comes for?"
12807	Do you think you play baseball at the same gait that you do football, old ramrod?"
12807	Does Mr. Jordan deserve severe discipline?"
12807	Durville?"
12807	Durville?"
12807	Even if it is made permanent, Dick, you''ll stick, wo n''t you?"
12807	Gentlemen, comrades, will you do me the favor of accepting my resignation at once?"
12807	Greg, do you stop to realize that we''ve never yet been invited to an officer''s house to dinner?"
12807	Greg, you and Dick can call on us at the hotel this evening, ca n''t you?"
12807	Hang it all, what was it that Lieutenant Denton said about faith and right, and faith being as much the soldier''s duty as honor?
12807	Has she cooled toward me at just the time when I shall soon be able to offer her my name and my future?"
12807	Has the heat been too much for you to- day?
12807	Have we any right to weaken a tradition that is as old as the Military Academy itself?"
12807	Have you any explanation to offer, sir?"
12807	Have you been fool enough to think that I''d forget--- that I could forget?
12807	Have you done anything else that could excuse the class in punishing you?"
12807	How could Prescott possibly know that his commission in the Army was not yet sure?
12807	How is Laura?"
12807	How, then, have I done wrong?"
12807	I hope we have n''t been indiscreet in coming almost unannounced?
12807	I wonder if my reporting him to- day has made the fellows take more notice of him?
12807	I wonder if the silence is to be continued until I am forced to resign and give up a career in the Army?"
12807	In fact, the Army pitcher choked and shook so that Durville called to him in a quiet, anxious voice from shortstop''s beat:"Anything wrong, ramrod?"
12807	Is it not now time, if the class will not grant full justice, at least to grant something to the wishes of the minority?"
12807	Is she really planning to marry that fellow Cameron?
12807	Is that all the faith you have in your friends?
12807	Jordan, if we let you go, will you hike, and never stop hiking until you''re miles and miles away from West Point?"
12807	Jordan, what are you doing here in disguise?"
12807	Jordan?"
12807	Jordan?"
12807	May I feel at liberty to ask you, Mr. Prescott, whether there are any urgent family reasons behind this sudden move of yours?"
12807	Now, Prescott, my boy"---here the officer''s voice became tender, friendly, earnest---"you have been attending chapel every Sunday?"
12807	Now, aloud, he asked:"Doug, do you happen to remember Miss Bentley''s first name?"
12807	Now, do you comprehend, booby, what a fatal mistake you would have made, had I allowed you to tag them around to the cliff?"
12807	Now, what on earth is there that''s practical about a love affair?"
12807	Peach, is n''t she?"
12807	Prescott, do you or do you not believe that there is a God above who sees all, loves all and rights all injustice in His own good time?"
12807	Prescott, is n''t that kind of faith almost blasphemy?"
12807	Prescott?"
12807	Prescott?"
12807	Prescott?"
12807	Prescott?"
12807	Prescott?"
12807	Prescott?"
12807	Rough?
12807	Savvy?
12807	See here, you have n''t invited any other girls to to- night''s hop, have you?"
12807	Shall I leap on him when he''s coming back from the hotel, after the graduation ball?
12807	Sit down, wo n''t you, Stubbs?"
12807	Sit down, wo n''t you?"
12807	That we wo n''t have him with us?"
12807	The thing that Reid, who was an Army officer, did not know was--- who was the victim?
12807	Then Dick asked, as he had so often done before:"Is there any further business to come before the class meeting?"
12807	Then, remembering something he had heard, Stubbs continued quickly:"You''re in a little trouble of some kind, are n''t you, old man?"
12807	Then, turning to the coach, he inquired:"May we keep Darrin and Dalzell with us, sir, until your train leaves?"
12807	There is n''t much brag about us now, eh, Greg?"
12807	This was the verdict of the class--- of the corps?
12807	Was it not because we believed, with all our hearts, that in Richard Prescott lay all the best elements of noble, upright and manly cadethood?
12807	Was that the way she acted when you were under charges of cribbing?
12807	What are you fellows doing here?"
12807	What did it matter that Prescott had reached second?
12807	What has ailed your eyes and your reasoning powers?"
12807	What is the matter?
12807	What sort of practice do you give yourself?"
12807	What''s the use of being an ostracized officer in the service?
12807	Why not stick, like a man of faith and honor?
12807	Why, suh, why did we choose Mr. Prescott as our class president?
12807	Will you go--- and softly?"
12807	Will you slip there softly, and listen, too?
12807	Wo n''t you please write promptly and set my mind at ease on this vital point?"
12807	Would he misunderstand, and think her unwomanly?
12807	Yet how?
12807	You love me?"
12807	You used to care especially for Laura Bentley, did you not?"
12807	You were in disgrace, then, were n''t you?
12807	You''ve got me run out of the cadet corps, but-----""Out of the cadet corps?"
12806	A cadet?
12806	After all,muttered Dick inwardly,"why not?
12806	All ready?
12806	Along different lines than class standing?
12806	Am I entitled to any explanation?
12806	Am I going over to Philadelphia to see the game?
12806	And thereby have us consigned to prison cells for the balance of our unworthy lives?
12806	And when you are through with your course there,pursued Mrs. Davidson,"do you enlist in the Army?
12806	And you never told me--- didn''t even give me a hint?
12806	And you want me with you?
12806	And you''re going to see the lawyer?
12806	And you''re sure you were pushed?
12806	Any idea where you''ll try to play us?
12806	Are the other cadets jealous?
12806	Are you beginning to feel chilly, Belle?
12806	Are you going to accept any social invitations while you are home?
12806	Are you going to make a fool of yourself, Prescott?
12806	Are you going to open your mouth and do a lot of talking?
12806	Are you going to say anything about Dodge while you are home?
12806	Are you studying very hard, Anstey?
12806	Are you through, gentlemen?
12806	Are you willing to resign, if the class wants someone else?
12806	Bad?
12806	But did I make a fearful mistake?
12806	But do n''t the officers look down on the common soldiers?
12806	But how do you fellows come to be home at this time?
12806	But it''s great, is n''t it, just to be in the service at all?
12806	But what do you think of him?
12806	But what''s the with the goat section overtaking us at double time?
12806	By the way,proposed Greg,"what are you going to do this morning?"
12806	Ca n''t you telephone for a carriage, then?
12806	Could any one have come out of the car, unless it had been a tactical officer, a cadet or a railway employee?
12806	Could you?
12806	Darrin, you mean?
12806	Dick, did n''t you tell her?
12806	Dick,he demanded,"do you know what the lawyer''s business is about?"
12806	Dick,spoke Laura at last, turning and looking him frankly, sweetly in the eyes,"have I done anything to offend you?"
12806	Did Bert Dodge have any especial trouble at West Point?
12806	Did he?
12806	Did you find the Army such easy stuff to use as a doormat, Dan?
12806	Did you have a tiresome trip here?
12806	Did you recognize any assailant?
12806	Did you see any one come out of the car?
12806	Do n''t josh me too hard, Chief,pleaded the medicine fakir"Will you let my people go, if I settle?"
12806	Do n''t you see that it''s your job to hurry to the district attorney as fast as you can go? 12806 Do they make you sleep on a stretcher at West Point?"
12806	Do you deny, Haynes, that on the night when we were returning from the Army- navy game you pushed me from the rear platform of the train?
12806	Do you intend your question or manner to be offensive?
12806	Do you know Dr. Carter''s voice well?
12806	Do you know,muttered Greg vengefully,"Haynes had the cheek to come here and ask after you?"
12806	Do you mean,pursued Dick relentlessly,"that you want to be elected president of the present second class, Haynes?"
12806	Drop it, you young scoundrel?
12806	Drop the case on any such stacked- up mess of lies? 12806 Fight with you?
12806	Fight?
12806	Going over to Philadelphia to see the Navy anchored to a zero score, Haynes?
12806	Going to funk?
12806	Has Mr. Prescott been injured so that he''ll have to leave the Army?
12806	Has formal action been taken, or is this just a flash of prejudice, Pierson?
12806	Has one of you fellows a pin to lend me?
12806	Has the fellow gone yet?
12806	Has this fellow won you over with a lot of his smooth talk?
12806	Have n''t I stated your proposition fairly?
12806	Have n''t heard about that fellow Haynes?
12806	Have we made a mistake in Prescott and Holmes?
12806	Have you any good reason to suspect any particular person?
12806	Have you heard that Bert Dodge is in town at present?
12806	Haynes, did you have that pin in the toe of your boot the day that Prescott was thrown in the riding hall?
12806	Haynes?
12806	Haynes?
12806	Haynesy, what''s the matter with you?
12806	He is a reputable physician, is n''t he?
12806	He''s` found,''eh?
12806	Heard any news lately?
12806	Hot?
12806	How are you feeling?
12806	How are you, Prescott?
12806	How did I get that thing in my shoe?
12806	How do you do, Haynes?
12806	How is good old West Point? 12806 How long am I to stay in Coventry?"
12806	How long have you known this, old ramrod?
12806	How much further are you going to drive?
12806	How on earth, Carney, did you come to overlook that pair until now?
12806	How?
12806	I never was b.j., was I?
12806	I wonder if it will be necessary to drum the fellow out of the class formally?
12806	I wonder if we''re going to be placed on the line where we''ll have to bump''em in the Army- Navy game?
12806	I wonder what it was that made him so abstracted, and then so suddenly merry?
12806	I wonder what on earth old Haynesy can have on his mind?
12806	I wonder what the dear girl is thinking about at this present moment?
12806	I?
12806	In that case, captain, is it then likely that I shall be able to return to duty?
12806	In the Hudson? 12806 In the first place, you know Dr. Carter, do you not?"
12806	Is Greg in Gridley?
12806	Is Miss Number Three likely to be at the Point when we get there?
12806	Is Prescott afraid of me--- or what?
12806	Is he?
12806	Is it a trick, this time, or real?
12806	Is it because of Prescott?
12806	Is it one of them?
12806	Is she tired of having me around?
12806	Is that man Darrin as big a wonder as we''ve heard?
12806	Is that the best the old town can do for excitement in these days?
12806	Is the football situation as bad as that? 12806 Is there a black pin inside your blouse at this moment?"
12806	Is this wise, old ramrod?
12806	It would be a howling mess if we did n''t have a room together this year, old ramrod, would n''t it?
12806	It would be a statement of your own proposition, would n''t it?
12806	Just as bughouse on West Point and the Army as ever, are you?
12806	Just one white stripe?
12806	Just why did Dodge leave West Point?
12806	Many folks were glad to see you?
12806	May I properly ask what you find?
12806	May a wee, small voice make itself heard?
12806	Mr. Griffin, what are these pieces of airy nothing doing here?
12806	Mr. Griffin, will you tell me why you sent for me?
12806	No bones broken?
12806	No; I would--- See here not trying to be offensive with me, are you?
12806	Now, Prescott, do you intend to go right along keeping the presidency of the class?
12806	Now, how could a fellow be so careless as to fall off a moving train?
12806	Now, what do you think about it, Prescott?
12806	Now, what do you think of that?
12806	Oh, have n''t I told you?
12806	Oh, still harping on Miss Number Three?
12806	Oh, you did?
12806	Oh, you do, Mister Prescott? 12806 Oh, you?"
12806	Oh, your new pastor and his wife? 12806 Old friends, Prescott?"
12806	Or are you going to keep your tongue behind your teeth?
12806	Personal standing, for instance?
12806	Pierson,he asked,"have the fellows sent me to Coventry?"
12806	Prescott has very little chance of remaining in the corps, I suppose?
12806	Prescott, do you use that word offensively?
12806	Reckless?
12806	Right away?
12806	See here, Haynes, have you been sent here by any faction in the second class?
12806	See here, you coldfeet,began the captain of the Army eleven sternly,"what do you two mean by staying in here and boning dry facts?"
12806	Shall I go after your wrap?
12806	Shall I separate then from the business mail?
12806	She broke the engagement?
12806	Spurlock,asked Haynes, in a thick voice,"are you in this tommy- rot business, too?"
12806	Surely, he does n''t approve of your riding yet, Dick?
12806	The blamed old town will seem a bit empty, wo n''t it?
12806	Then do we need to hold a class meeting, and vote to make the Coventry permanent?
12806	Then what are you doing fooling around here, governor?
12806	Then why did n''t you so tell the K.C.?
12806	Then why,demanded the attorney, eyeing the young West Pointer keenly,"do you know so much about their occupations or lack of occupation?
12806	Then you are not going?
12806	There wo n''t be any need, will there, captain, to send word to my father and mother of this accident until it is better known how serious it is?
12806	Think so?
12806	To stay away?
12806	Was he higher that you''ll be when you graduate from West Point?
12806	Was he one of the capable students there?
12806	Well, a West Point cadet is some one socially, is he not?
12806	Well, have you seen the mucker Prescott?
12806	Well, thunder and bomb- shells, did n''t you?
12806	Well, we are, are n''t we?
12806	Well, what are we?
12806	Well, what''s the matter?
12806	Well,sneered the turnback, what do you think you''re going to do about it?"
12806	Were you following me up, just now?
12806	Wh--- what do you propose to do, Griffins?
12806	What about it?
12806	What are you going to do about this?
12806	What did you say?
12806	What did you two say about me, after I left this afternoon?
12806	What do you mean?
12806	What do you mean?
12806	What do you saw if we trot around and extract handshakes from some of the follows we used to pack schoolbooks with?
12806	What does he mean by that? 12806 What has become of the fellow Dodge?"
12806	What is the matter?
12806	What is the trouble, then?
12806	What is this to you?
12806	What is your guess?
12806	What is your particular interest in my roommate?
12806	What made Haynes fess out, I wonder?
12806	What on earth can Dodge be up to?
12806	What on earth did the trick, and what trick was it?
12806	What scoundrel is taking my name in vein?
12806	What sort of a place is West Point, and how do you like it there?
12806	What the deuce has got into them all?
12806	What you going to do, Greg?
12806	What''s that?
12806	What''s the matter with you, Haynesy?
12806	What''s the present girl''s number?
12806	What? 12806 What?
12806	What?
12806	What?
12806	When do you intend to resign?
12806	Where are we now? 12806 Where are you going now?"
12806	Where are you going?
12806	Where''s Anstey?
12806	Where?
12806	Who said you could?
12806	Who was he?
12806	Who was on the platform with you?
12806	Who, That lot of freaks?
12806	Why ca n''t a man like Lieutenant Carney see that Prescott is nothing but a dub, while Holmes is only a dub''s helper?
12806	Why did you do it?
12806	Why did you do that, Haynes?
12806	Why did you ever drag me into any such infamous piece of business? 12806 Why did you young men conspire to beat the Navy at football?"
12806	Why do n''t Americans take a little more pains to understand things American?
12806	Why do n''t they have just plain soldiers and captains, and put the captains in a different color of uniform? 12806 Why do n''t you turn pirate, then, as I do,"yawned Haynes,"and get the fellows to write you down on the cards they''re making up for their femmes?"
12806	Why do n''t you want me for class president?
12806	Why do you ask, Pierson?
12806	Why is that?
12806	Why not?
12806	Why should n''t I?
12806	Why should n''t men be eager to call, often and long?
12806	Why, can Dodge be scoundrel enough for that?
12806	Why, they--- well, they-----"You do n''t know a blessed thing about it, do you?
12806	Why, you have n''t seen Dave since you youngsters all left home, have you, Dick?
12806	Why,asked Hayes, opening his eyes rather wide,"are you boning bootlick with any but officers?"
12806	Would you?
12806	Yes?
12806	Yet how can you be blind to the wonderful work that he and Holmes are doing? 12806 Yet, why did n''t you bring Dr. Davidson and Dr. Carter here with you?"
12806	You are going to try to send me to jail?
12806	You are learning to be a soldier, of course?
12806	You are not going to mention Haynes to anyone else?
12806	You are old friends, then?
12806	You are--- what?
12806	You believe, now, that the whole thing was a dirty, deliberate trick, do n''t you?
12806	You ca n''t destroy the affidavits?
12806	You do n''t forget the fact that the Army nine did defeat the Navy nine, do you?
12806	You do n''t mean to say that it is all off with Miss Number Three?
12806	You do n''t think we are going to lose the hops at either Academy while we have friends there, do you?
12806	You engaged to three girls?
12806	You feel fit then, Mr. Prescott, to return to full duty? 12806 You fellows busy?"
12806	You got something, eh?
12806	You imagine he would make a creditable witness, do n''t you?
12806	You mean that you''ll try out class feeling by resigning and suggesting me for your successor?
12806	You received one from Susie: Sharp, of course?
12806	You told Laura Bentley?
12806	You want to rush things, do n''t you, lad?
12806	You''re Wild Charlie, are you?
12806	You''re not quite a lunatic, old ramrod, are you?
12806	You''re speaking for yourself only?
12806	You, Laura?
12806	Your roommate cocky?
12806	After his trick in pushing you from the train?"
12806	And now, will you stop bothering me with the sound of your voice?"
12806	And say, Chief, wo n''t you break the guns and knock the cartridges out, and then let me have the guns, too?
12806	And why do you know that they are all young men?"
12806	And why?"
12806	And you, Holmes--- how are you?"
12806	Are n''t you our lawyer?"
12806	Are the cadets not indebted for their opportunities to all the citizens of the United States?"
12806	Be sharp on time, wo n''t you?"
12806	Beat the Army?"
12806	Been up ahead?
12806	Briggs?"
12806	But I wonder if anyone, officer or cadet, saw me running along at the side of the train?"
12806	But I''ve a notion Prescott wo n''t be strutting about with such lordly airs-----""Prescotts?
12806	But do you know why I''m here?
12806	But how can I do it?"
12806	But where''s Greg?"
12806	C- c- can I stand it without breaking down and giving myself away?
12806	CHAPTER IV WHAT ABOUT MR. CAMERON?
12806	CHAPTER XXII THE ROW IN THE RIDING DETACHMENT"Wow, what on earth is the fellow doing?"
12806	Cameron?"
12806	Cameron?"
12806	Cameron?"
12806	Can he get away with you?"
12806	Can it be that he has found people who can be bribed to perjure themselves, and that he is going to make his hint good?"
12806	Can you reach your son readily?
12806	Davidson?"
12806	Did you come to ask me to go driving?"
12806	Do those fellows think they''re posing before a moving- picture machine?"
12806	Do you feel as if you could rise, Mr. Prescott, with my help?"
12806	Do you fellows remember when we were happy if we could buy a ten- cent plate and then get by ourselves with six spoons to dip into the ice cream?
12806	Do you imagine that anything you could do or say would save you, Dodge, from going to the penitentiary for ten or fifteen years?"
12806	Do you imagine, for a moment, that Fessenden and your other tools would n''t become utterly frightened and confess to everything against you?
12806	Do you recognize my voice?
12806	Do you understand?
12806	Dodge, what is to be done?"
12806	Dodge?
12806	Does he?"
12806	Father, are you losing all the nerve you ever had?"
12806	Going through your invitations, are you?
12806	Greg looked, as he felt, aghast at the idea, but he managed to blurt out:"What about the rainmakers?"
12806	Griffin?"
12806	Had n''t there, though?
12806	Have you heard about the Navy''s new, lightning right end?"
12806	Holmes?"
12806	Holmes?"
12806	How are you on math., now?"
12806	How could it end?
12806	How would the feud end?
12806	How would these two decent cadets treat the fellow who had been kicked out of West Point for dishonorable acts?
12806	I hope, however, there is no hard feeling?"
12806	I wonder if Dick and Greg think that we are too countrified?"
12806	I wonder if I ca n''t, between now and June?
12806	I wonder what folks here think of a sneak who was forced to resign by a cadet committee on honor?"
12806	I''m a wolf--- d''ye catch that, partners?"
12806	I?"
12806	If we of the cadet corps should get any notion that we belong to a superior race of beings, to whom would we owe it all?
12806	Is it because Prescott is playing the position for which you were cast?"
12806	Laura will be a Miss Sharp''s this afternoon, of course?"
12806	Lordly airs?"
12806	Mr. Davidson?
12806	Must he be allowed to go on and graduate?"
12806	Now, am I going to be submitted to that humiliation by two fellows I''ve always liked and considered my friends?"
12806	Now, wo n''t you often have use for a horse and buggy while you''re at home?
12806	Oh, he is there at the bank with you, is he?
12806	Or is Germany your hailing place, Wild Charlie?"
12806	Or may you, if you prefer, become a sailor in our-- er-- Navy?"
12806	Pollock?"
12806	Prescott?"
12806	Prescott?"
12806	Resign?
12806	So, for the glory the Army, then, you''ll come out, after this, and stand by us for the rest of the season?"
12806	The Army had gained four yards, yet lost--- what?
12806	The kick failed--- but who cared?
12806	Then you imagine that I am going to quit, or that you''re going to force me to do so?
12806	Very good, sir; will you now talk with Lawyer Griffin, who is beside me, and tell him what you heard last night in the room of one Peters?
12806	Was Brayton becoming dissatisfied with his left wing?
12806	Was he foolish?
12806	Was he kicked out of the Academy?"
12806	Was n''t that nice of him?"
12806	What About Mr. Cameron?
12806	What do you mean by that?"
12806	What do you mean?"
12806	What do you think of that, Prescott?"
12806	What kind of an officer is the man who wears the two yellow V''s?"
12806	What part of Maine do you come from?"
12806	What was the matter?
12806	What was to become, now, of his resolution to hold back the surging words for at least two more years?
12806	What''s your name, mister?"
12806	Where are you heading now?"
12806	Where''s your rice powder, Laura?
12806	Which was Dave, and which was Dan?
12806	Why did you take such chances?"
12806	Why should he be?
12806	Will you excuse me, and wait for me a few minutes, Greg?"
12806	Will you?"
12806	Yet why should any of us feel unduly conceited?
12806	You get a smattering of engineering work at West Point, do n''t you?"
12806	You''ve been through the pubic schools, too?"
12806	You, an Army officer?
12806	demanded prescott coolly"Re-----"gasped Haynes"Resign?
12806	hanger- on there?"
12806	pretty easy, did n''t you?"
12806	shot back Cadet Holmes"Confound you, sir, do you mean to call me a liar?"
12806	whispered Dick, his pulses throbbing,"you see those fellows on the Lehigh right flank?"
12819	About what?
12819	And say, Anstey, you''re going to the hop tomorrow night, are n''t you? 12819 And then?"
12819	And you?
12819	And, at the time you hesitated, before securing leave to erase, you did not consult any aid in your work?
12819	Animal spirits?
12819	Anything else on?
12819	Are Mrs. Bentley, Miss Bentley and Miss Meade here?
12819	Are they going to fight?
12819	Are we dreaming, or can such large cities actually be?
12819	Are you going to be at the hop tomorrow night?
12819	Are you much hurt, Dodge?
12819	Are you referring to the two femmes I was just billing?
12819	Are you sure that he did so?
12819	Are you--- is Laura--- I mean-----"You wonder whether Laura and I had any understanding before I left Gridley? 12819 At least,"asked Greg,"you''ll be here again when the winter hops start?"
12819	Be good enough to loan me your handkerchief, then?
12819	Beauty, is n''t it?
12819	Because you did not wish to know more?
12819	Braytonasked Greg,"will you be good enough to slip into your bathrobe and hang your blankets over the window?
12819	But do n''t you understand, you uncivilized being,demanded Dick, chuckling,"that we ca n''t dance all the numbers with the girls?
12819	But is a plebe forbidden to stroll here?
12819	But is one compelled to flirt, on this stroll?
12819	But see here, old ramrod, I''m to be your other second?
12819	But shall we not see you after parade? 12819 But what about that soiree you mentioned to the plebe?"
12819	But what do they fight about?
12819	But what else happened about that handkerchief? 12819 But you had no aid in the section room today?"
12819	But you will be here until the close of tomorrow afternoon?
12819	But you will come again in winter?
12819	But, first of all, old ramrod, are n''t you going to get ready to fall in for dinner formation?
12819	But, seriously, old ramrod, are you as strong for the plebe as we have just been led to believe? 12819 Ca n''t you get excused and take us over to dress parade?"
12819	Can it be possible,queried Mr. Holmes,"that I am so fortunate as to be discreet in asking whether I may escort you there?"
12819	Can you keep a secret? 12819 Can you two near- plebes find time to drop in this evening, at just 8.15?"
12819	Captain Bates, have I your permission to speak, sir?
12819	Confound it, can a yearling see just as well when he''s asleep as when he''s awake?
12819	Corporal Haskins,called the chaplain, as he returned the cadet officer''s smart salute,"will you excuse Mr. Prescott that I may speak with him?
12819	Did he then go straight ahead with his work?
12819	Did you get into any trouble with the O.C., old ramrod?
12819	Did you get wet, mister?
12819	Did you hand the handkerchief back with a paper inside of it?
12819	Did you have any paper in your hand while you had Mr. Prescott''s handkerchief in your own possession?
12819	Did you impress the girls with the knowledge that I begged them to go to the hop tonight?
12819	Did you take that handkerchief out again until the unlucky time just after you had turned away from the board after explaining in math.?
12819	Did you think I''d forget half of my errand, old ramrod?
12819	Did you, knowingly, pass the handkerchief back to the accused cadet with any paper inside of it, or touching it in any way?
12819	Differences in height, and variations in the color of hair and eyes? 12819 Do n''t feel that you''re marked for pneumonia?"
12819	Do n''t you ever call names?
12819	Do n''t you sing, Prescott?
12819	Do you believe we ought to take the plebe right into our midst, and condole with him until we get him over his homesickness? 12819 Do you care to call him over to speak with us?"
12819	Do you forget that tomorrow is Sunday? 12819 Do you recall my promise in Gridley, Miss Bentley--- that I would invite you to my first hop as soon as I was eligible to attend one?"
12819	Do you seek words of wisdom from your class president?
12819	Do you think Prescott was really guilty of a crib?
12819	Do you think good old Dave and Belle Meade had any understanding before Dave left Gridley?
12819	Do you think it is a change for the better?
12819	Do you think those girls are going to believe anything against you?
12819	Does Mr. Anstey know about it, either?
12819	Does it?
12819	Does it?
12819	Eh? 12819 Gentlemen, will you come softly to my room fifteen minutes after the sub- division inspector''s official visit at taps?"
12819	Going to put the stuff back, for the present?
12819	Going to the hop, old ramrod?
12819	Greg, old fellow, guess what''s going to happen soon?
12819	Griffin, what did you think of yearlings--- last year?
12819	Had Mr. Prescott been doing well previously?
12819	Had n''t we better duck?
12819	Have I been vindicated, Greg?
12819	Have I permission to ask a question, sir?
12819	Have n''t a cold, have you?
12819	Have n''t plebes any rights or privileges?
12819	Have n''t you heard? 12819 Have you sent any word home?"
12819	Have you talked with any of the other men?
12819	His name?
12819	Holmesy, you know so much more about things than I do,pleaded Griffin sweetly,"just be good to Dell for an hour, wo n''t you?
12819	Hotel?
12819	How about it?
12819	How did the smear happen to be on your hand?
12819	How do you do?
12819	How does it happen, Mr. Prescott, that you have this suspicion, and absolutely nothing more?
12819	How have you been since the old High School days?
12819	How would you like some of these ferns?
12819	I suppose you have been over this way times innumerable?
12819	I took my hazing pretty well, did n''t I?
12819	I wonder if I''d better pull these gloves off and stay where I am?
12819	I wonder if some of the fellows think I keep away from hazing simply because I''m afraid of risking my neck?
12819	I wonder just what our young men are doing at this moment?
12819	I wonder what our young cadets are doing?
12819	I''m afraid you''ve missed the point, suh?
12819	I? 12819 I?
12819	If I call for you at the hotel tomorrow evening, Miss Griffin, may I hope that you will recognize me?
12819	If you can?
12819	In putting down your demonstration on the blackboard today you had no aid whatever?
12819	Is Prescott trying to revive his old and infamous hints against me? 12819 Is n''t that Bert Dodge over there?"
12819	Is the one you suspect a cadet?
12819	Is the paper in my handwriting, sir?
12819	It used to be''Dick'')"Your note came as a delightfully pleasant surprise,"Dick read on("Now, I wonder why it should have been a surprise?
12819	L.P.?
12819	Let me see, Greg; have you any show to get out of the goats in math.?
12819	May I ask, sir, what you think of the chances? 12819 Milesy, may Mr. Briggs have the use of your piece for a few minutes?"
12819	Miss Griffin?
12819	Miss Meade, you are going to be tenderhearted enough to flatter me with one dance?
12819	Mr. Briggs,demanded Prescott at last,"where is your bucket?"
12819	Mr. Prescott, did you work out your problem for today unaided?
12819	Mr. Prescott, do you now know who was responsible for the monument affair of last night?
12819	Mr. Prescott, have you sufficiently considered my question and your reply?
12819	Mr. Prescott,called Captain Abbott,"will you bring me that piece of paper from the floor?"
12819	Mrs Bentley, you''ll bring the girls here again, this winter, wo n''t you?
12819	My boy, Dick--- here?
12819	No parade?
12819	Not in training for sick report?
12819	Now, Miss Bentley, you are not going to leave a broken heart behind you at West Point?
12819	Now, what are we going to do with this big hulk?
12819	Now, what on earth has made you so excited?
12819	Now, what on earth is coming?
12819	Now, what''s left for us?
12819	Now, who''d suspect good old Greg of getting into sheer mischief, all by himself?
12819	Oh, does it?
12819	Oh, was it you idiots?
12819	Oh, you, Furlong?
12819	One man? 12819 One?"
12819	Overeating yourself--- when you''re in training, man?
12819	Permission to erase, sir?
12819	Rest?
12819	Say, Holmesy,nudged Dunstan,"how did you get that smear on the back of your hand?
12819	Say, have you seen the Lehighs?
12819	Say, what do you think, Dodge, of Prescott beginning to shoot up through the sections toward you? 12819 Shall I speak for us both, Maitland?"
12819	Shall we go over, Dick?
12819	She''s going to remain here?
12819	Sir?
12819	Skin wet?
12819	So Mr. Ellis has gone bad, has he?
12819	So that, had there been a paper folded in it, the paper very likely would not have been visible?
12819	So that, had there been any paper in it at that time, it would have fallen to the ground?
12819	Spoony femmes?
12819	Superstitious?
12819	Surely he has n''t been hazing you?
12819	Tell us, Mace,continued Dick,"have you had any occasion to take Mr. Briggs in hand at any time?
12819	Then we must stay until to- morrow afternoon; may we not, mother?
12819	Then what ails you, misters?
12819	Then you admit that which we have been stating against you, do you, suh?
12819	Then you expect us to believe in the honor of a cadet who dishonors himself by sneaking cribs into a section room?
12819	Then, on your honor as a cadet and a gentleman, you declare that your statement is true?
12819	They practically insist on my sitting in to- night, do they? 12819 Think so?"
12819	To my father and mother? 12819 Was n''t that an insinuation against me?"
12819	We staggers have a hard time of it, eh, Dodge?
12819	We''ll drag femmes to the hop tomorrow night, eh, Greg?
12819	Well, that describes you, does n''t it?
12819	Well, then, what does it all mean?
12819	Well,demanded Dodge,"what''s wrong?"
12819	Were n''t you fearfully glum and homesick last year? 12819 Wh--- who''s there?"
12819	What ails Maitland?
12819	What are you driving at Furlong?
12819	What did the court say? 12819 What did they say?"
12819	What do you know about the affair?
12819	What do you say, Dennison?
12819	What do you think of Holmesy?
12819	What does n''t Mr. Briggs do?
12819	What happened?
12819	What has Mr. Briggs been doing now?
12819	What has all this to do with me?
12819	What has cherubic, spoonoid Holmesy got up his sleeve for 8.15?
12819	What have you done? 12819 What if she should decline the unknown substitute who reported to fill the task?"
12819	What is it?
12819	What is the call for me, Milesy? 12819 What more do you want?"
12819	What on earth ails you, Meacham?
12819	What time have you, now, for a rest?
12819	What was the row?
12819	What will you do this evening, Dick?
12819	What''s up?
12819	What?
12819	Where did the walk ever get such a name?
12819	Where on earth did Mr. Ellis get hold of soft soap?
12819	Where''s Prescott?
12819	Where''s old Mason and Dixon?
12819	Which hand?
12819	Which is within one tenth of the highest marking?
12819	Which one of you was it?
12819	Who are they?
12819	Why do n''t you go over to the hop tonight, Dick?
12819	Why not post Prescott first?
12819	Why not?
12819	Why should n''t it be? 12819 Why should we do anything to the plebes?
12819	Why should we do anything to them?
12819	Why should we--- say, did you hear the man?
12819	Why, do you know, you have n''t shown your face at hop yet?
12819	Why, old ramrod, what on earth is the matter?
12819	Why, perhaps we''re like Chinamen?
12819	Why?
12819	Why?
12819	Will it be fair to yourself, Prescott?
12819	Will the chair kindly explain the point of order?
12819	Will you let me act as one of your friends, old ramrod?
12819	Will you serve Dennison?
12819	Would the handkerchief, when you handed it back, have held this slip of paper?
12819	Write that letter?
12819	Yes, what about that smear? 12819 Yes; why not?
12819	Yes? 12819 Yes?"
12819	Yet you believe it is right to ignore a plebe, and to make him so wretched?
12819	Yet you suspect?
12819	Yet, had Mr. Prescott had a slip of paper held slyly in either hand, do you think you would have seen it? 12819 You are certain that you have not more than the merest suspicion of the cadet off whom you have been speaking?
12819	You are sure it has made such a change?
12819	You could n''t stand it, could you?
12819	You could n''t tell anything?
12819	You did n''t see how I got this smear on my hand, did you, old ramrod?
12819	You must find the cadets a good deal below your expectations?
12819	You put him through some performances?
12819	You say Mr. Prescott was there?
12819	You were on the grill, last night, old ramrod?
12819	You were?
12819	Your idea that he is an artful dodger?
12819	********"Is n''t West Point life glorious, Belle?"
12819	********"Mr. Prescott and Mr. Holmes both have the usual excellent reputation of cadets for truthfulness, have n''t they, Captain?"
12819	********"Well?"
12819	A few minutes of leisure?
12819	And how many girls fall in love with the uniform, thinking all the while that it''s the fellow in the uniform?
12819	And some other fellow handled your handkerchief?"
12819	And you''re still wearing the uniform that Uncle Sam gave you, are n''t you?
12819	Anstey?"
12819	Are Laura and Belle coming on West Point soon?"
12819	Are you for going on with our walk?"
12819	Are you going to present me?"
12819	Are you prepared to take the plebe to our heart and comfort him--- instead of training him?"
12819	Are you ready, gentlemen?"
12819	Are you, Greg?"
12819	Bentley?"
12819	Bert hesitated, looked uneasy, then replied:"How about the smear?
12819	Briggs?"
12819	Briggs?"
12819	But I wonder how the news reached Annapolis?
12819	But how would it be possible, without getting myself into trouble, to pass on the hint that Prescott knows more than he is telling?"
12819	CHAPTER IX SPOONY FEMME--- FLIRTATION WALK"So this is Flirtation Walk?"
12819	CHAPTER VI GREG PREPARES FOR FLIRTATION WALK"For what reason, sir?"
12819	CHAPTER XIV FRIENDS WHO STAND BY"Well?"
12819	CHAPTER XXII GREG''S SECRET AND ANOTHER''S"Are you going to the hop tonight?"
12819	Can you account for that?"
12819	Dennison?"
12819	Did n''t you hear the announcement that this is a committee of honor?
12819	Did you see, do you know, or have you any knowledge of any kind, of those who placed the firecrackers by the monument, or who set them off?"
12819	Do n''t you know that a crab moves either backwards or sideways?
12819	Do n''t you think, Mr. Holmes, that the wearing of identical uniforms gives the young men rather the look of a''lot''?"
12819	Do you feel that we should overlook all the traditional b.j.ety of the plebe, and admit him to full fellowship without any probation or instruction?"
12819	Do you think anything less than the coaches and the team captain could stop me from pitching?
12819	Dodge no better friends here than at Gridley?"
12819	Dodge return Mr. Prescott''s handkerchief?"
12819	Dodge, do we, mother?"
12819	Dodge, to whom shall I look as your friend?"
12819	Dodge, when Mr. Prescott passed his handkerchief to you?"
12819	Dodge?
12819	Dodge?"
12819	Dodge?"
12819	Dodge?"
12819	Dodge?"
12819	Greg, I wonder how many cadets have been lonesome enough to propose to some girl, and afterwards find out it was all a mistake?
12819	Greg, old fellow, will you be the one to go down and tell Mr. Briggs that his presence in this tent is desired immediately?"
12819	Has n''t he learned anything?
12819	Have you any knowledge about the matter which, if in our possession, would aid in any way in clearing up the mystery surrounding this offence?
12819	Have you any wish to deny it now?"
12819	Have you taken Mr. Briggs in hand at any time?"
12819	Holmes?"
12819	Holmes?"
12819	How could that paper have gotten in with your handkerchief?"
12819	How did it come there?"
12819	How did it come to be on the back of your hand?"
12819	I had the reputation of getting a lot of hazing last year, did n''t I?"
12819	I wonder how he will look in a second lieutenant''s uniform?"
12819	I''ve-----""Well?"
12819	Is n''t it natural, therefore, that we should expect the young lady to feel honored by the substitution in the way of escort?
12819	Is n''t it, Belle?
12819	Is that it?"
12819	Is that your delusion?"
12819	Laura, you remember what a fuss the''Blade''made over me when I won my appointment?
12819	Let me suggest a better test?"
12819	May I speak with him a moment?"
12819	May I state the business before the meeting?"
12819	Mischief, if carried too far, gets a fellow bounced out of the Academy, while girls--- I wonder which is safer?"
12819	Mr. Ellis, what is your defence?"
12819	Now, old ramrod, just what had we better do?"
12819	Now, sit up, wo n''t you, and get your thinking cap on?"
12819	Oh, you there, Prescott?
12819	Or how force from him any admission that would aid to free Cadet Prescott from the awful charge against him that had now been made official?
12819	Prescott opened his mouth, closed it again, without speaking, then at last asked slowly:"Sir, may I state my reasons in my own way?"
12819	Prescott, you hesitated, waited, then asked permission to erase?
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Prescott?"
12819	Say, did anyone, to your knowledge, have your handkerchief?"
12819	That''s what you want to know?"
12819	Then what fear could we know in time of war?"
12819	Through Greg''s mind, for hours after that, the question insistently intruded itself:"How about that smear?"
12819	Topham?"
12819	Was it barely possible that the writing on Bert Dodge''s left cuff was wholly innocent?
12819	What good, any way, will calculus ever be to an officer who has a platoon of men to lead in a charge on the enemy?"
12819	What shall we do?"
12819	What was the matter with Kennedy?
12819	What''s that bulging out the front of your coat, Greg?"
12819	What''s up, Holmesy?"
12819	When a fellow''s friends all believe in him, what more is there to ask?
12819	When the visitors had left, Dick turned on his chum, demanding curiously:"What''s the game for tonight, anyway, Greg?"
12819	Where and at what hour?"
12819	Which will you have first?"
